Cinco de Mayo is a week from Saturday, which means it’s time to break out the tequila and limes. That’s right, it’s time for a margarita or two, and there’s no better time to imbibe them then on one of the biggest Mexican holidays around. While food is an important part of the holiday (I… Continue reading Paloma

Crystal Slipper Cocktail
I’m going to Dapper Day on Sunday and I can’t wait. In case you don’t know, Dapper Day is a big event that happens at Disneyland and Disneyworld twice a year. It’s a chance for vintage lovers everywhere to attend the “happiest place on earth” all decked out in style. (Yes, it’s true, I’m a… Continue reading Crystal Slipper Cocktail
Dollar Bill Cocktail
I’m sure you know tax day is coming. At least it is here in the United States. It’s that awful day where we figure out how much the government took over the past year and if it’s enough for us to get a refund, (yay!) or more likely, what we still owe them. It sucks… Continue reading Dollar Bill Cocktail
Damn-the-Weather Cocktail
The first day of spring may have been Wednesday, but it’s still cold and wet outside. For the past few days it’s been in the 50’s and pouring here in Los Angeles. Mammoth closed early yesterday because the ski resort got five feet of fresh snow in just one day. Meanwhile, the Midwest is about… Continue reading Damn-the-Weather Cocktail
Apple Blossom Cocktail
My favorite time of year is the spring and summer because that’s when all the great fruits are in season. You’ve got peaches, plums, cherries and strawberries. But just because those stone fruits aren’t available doesn’t mean I’m out of fruit options. As a matter of fact now is prime apple season. While apples are… Continue reading Apple Blossom Cocktail
Seelbach Cocktail
Sunday is the Academy Awards, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already got your plans all set. I used to get together with my mom, order in Chinese and watch from the opening monologue all the way to best picture. But these days I tend to party it up. We’ll invite a few people… Continue reading Seelbach Cocktail
Good Luck Cocktail
When I was growing up, my dad worked on the 48th floor of the Bank of America building in San Francisco. Out his window was a beautiful view of the city. You could see everything from the Transamerica Pyramid to the Bay Bridge, including China Town. Since he had such a great view, every year… Continue reading Good Luck Cocktail
Fair & Warmer Cocktail
I’m a huge fan of Instagram. I love looking at all the pictures and discovering a story, a beautiful vintage piece of clothing or some tasty recipes for both food and cocktail. But sometimes it’s not just about the pictures. Sometimes, the pictures become a challenge. A gauntlet is thrown and then it’s up to… Continue reading Fair & Warmer Cocktail
Keltic Smash
Now that we’re into January, it’s time for me to go back to two of my favorite liquors: bourbon and whiskey. I always like to drink those brown liquors when the temperature dips and down comes the rain. But whiskey isn’t the only thing that comes back when those clouds roll in. All types of… Continue reading Keltic Smash
Royal Purple Cooler
New Year’s Eve is Sunday and there’s nothing more I love than a good party. It doesn’t matter if I’m going out or staying in, as long as there’s good music and great friends, I’m happy. But music and friends aren’t the only key to a good party. You also need food and drink. This… Continue reading Royal Purple Cooler
Tinsel Mary
I never used to be a big Bloody Mary fan. I mean, I loved tomato juice and I loved vodka, but for some reason when those two liquids were mixed together, my taste buds went cold. But I knew other people liked them and imbibed them regularly, especially over long Sunday brunches. So, I continued… Continue reading Tinsel Mary
