I love football. I’ve been watching professional sports for as long as I can remember; ever since my father took me to my first Red Sox game in 1978. Yes, I was a Sox fan before 2004. But he didn’t just take me to baseball games. I also watched plenty of Celtics and Patriots games… Continue reading Army & Navy Cocktail

Chicago Fizz
Sunday is National Repeal Day, the last night of Hanukkah and we’re officially in the middle of Christmas season. That means it’s all about fall and winter cocktails. There’s the classic egg nog, mulled cider, cranberry cocktails… anything that has to do with the holidays. When I think of this time of year, I think of… Continue reading Chicago Fizz
Stone Fence Cocktail
Since Thanksgiving is next week, I wanted to bring you one more cocktail that’s not only perfect for the upcoming holiday, but has all those fall flavors we love so much this time of year. It’s the Stone Fence. If you are looking for a cocktail that epitomizes autumn, the Stone Fence would be it.… Continue reading Stone Fence Cocktail
Star Cocktail
November wouldn’t be November without at least one apple cocktail. While apples have been in season for over a month, this is the month when pumpkin recipes step aside and apple takes its place. Everywhere you look are apple recipes ranging from pies to pork chops. Apples go so well with so many different things,… Continue reading Star Cocktail
Jet Pilot
Remember back in May when I did a Test Pilot for Memorial Day? Well, I promised to do the Jet Pilot for Veteran’s Day, and Veteran’s Day is Thursday. So, here it is… as promised, the Jet Pilot to honor all those who have and currently serve in our armed forces. Like the Test Pilot,… Continue reading Jet Pilot
Bloody Mule
Sunday is Halloween, so I wanted to get one more creepy cocktail in before the month ended. Halloween drinks are big this time of year. I mean, Halloween is a great time to party (especially after last year), the drinks come in a variety of liquors and in every color under the full moon from… Continue reading Bloody Mule
Little Devil Cocktail
I wait for October all year, then as soon as the calendar hits October 1st, the decorations are out! I know some people start decorating for Halloween in the middle of September, but that never felt right to me. Kind of like Christmas decorations in October. Christmas decorations should never be seen before at least… Continue reading Little Devil Cocktail
Devil’s Cocktail
It’s October and while that means there’s a chill in the air and the trees have started to shed their leaves, it also means that Halloween is right around the corner. This is the time of year when you start seeing green and orange cocktails or drinks that are smoking thanks to a little dry… Continue reading Devil’s Cocktail
Gettin’ Figgy With It
It’s October and everywhere you look it’s apple and pumpkin everything. But there’s another fruit out there this time of year. It doesn’t get a lot of love, but it’s just as much a part of fall as the other two: the fig. Figs are a huge part of fall and are absolutely delicious. Available… Continue reading Gettin’ Figgy With It
Brandy Daisy
Today’s the first day of October. The leaves have started to change color and there’s a definite chill in the air. While others are thinking about Halloween decorations, I’m thinking about fall and winter cocktails. This is the time of year I start to switch out my vodka and gin for bourbon and scotch. But those… Continue reading Brandy Daisy
The Alaska Cocktail
The first day of fall was Wednesday which means it’s time to start thinking about warmer drinks and cocktails made with bourbon or scotch. But in several places (including here in So Cal) it still feels like summer. (It’s actually in the 80’s here.) That means you don’t need to pack up the vodka and… Continue reading The Alaska Cocktail
