I’m a big fan of bourbon. But having tried numerous different kinds over the past year due to all the different cocktails I’ve concocted, I’ve come to discover that so far Woodford Reserve is my favorite. Now I know there are plenty more out there that I have yet to try, but this is what… Continue reading Whiskey Sour Cocktail

Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Today is Friday the 13th. I know, I know, you just want to pull the covers up over your head and pretend this day doesn’t exist. But unfortunately it does. So rather than avoid that black cat or those ladders, why not grab a rabbit’s foot, throw some salt over your shoulder and head out… Continue reading Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
During this holiday season I make plenty of cocktails. Some are simple and some are a little more complicated. While some are cold, most of my cocktail choices during this chilly time of year are hot. After all, there’s nothing better on a snowy evening than Hot Chocolate with Baileys or a big steaming cup… Continue reading Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
Tom & Jerry Cocktail
I know it’s been awhile since my last classic cocktail post and for that I apologize. But I figured what better month to start them back up again than December, the month of holidays and parties galore. If you’re anything like me you have at least one part you’ll be attending (or throwing) and so… Continue reading Tom & Jerry Cocktail
Waldorf Cocktail
As you know my Nana died a couple weeks ago. It’s been tough, but every day’s a little better, partly because I’ve finally been able to get some sleep. But since I always do a classic cocktail on Fridays I wanted to do one to honor her. So I searched and searched for a cocktail… Continue reading Waldorf Cocktail
Pimm’s Cup Cocktail
As you may (or may not) have noticed, my recent posts took you on a trip to New Orleans. I covered food and cocktails and so, to continue with the theme I thought I’d do a drink that’s not only a classic, but classically the Big Easy: the Pimm’s Cup. Now, I’m not a big… Continue reading Pimm’s Cup Cocktail
A Visit to New Orleans – the Vintage Bar Scene
Just as New Orleans is a great place to eat, it’s just as awesome a place to sit down and get a cocktail. And while you may be thinking Bourbon Street is the place to be, it’s not. Yes, there are plenty of bars on Bourbon, but they’re not the kind of places you can… Continue reading A Visit to New Orleans – the Vintage Bar Scene
Sazerac Cocktail
A few weeks ago I was going to make a sazerac for my classic cocktail. But upon doing the research on the cocktail’s history, I discovered that the cocktail not only originated in, but is also the cocktail of New Orleans. So since G and I were headed there for vacation, I thought I’d wait… Continue reading Sazerac Cocktail
Bloody Mary Cocktail
I’ve never been a fan of Bloody Marys. I don’t know why. I mean, I love tomato juice and I love vodka, but for some reason when those two liquids are mixed together it turns my taste buds cold. Then again, I’d never been a fan of bourbon until a friend introduced me to Woodford… Continue reading Bloody Mary Cocktail
The Manhattan Cocktail
Psst… I have a secret to tell you. I love to swing dance. Don’t tell, but I’ve been swing dancing since before Swingers and the big swing craze that followed in the 90’s. It’s actually how I met my husband. Yes, just like that couple in the movie. Anyway, during all my club hopping there… Continue reading The Manhattan Cocktail
Maraschino Cherries
I know Fridays are usually dedicated to classic cocktails here on Kitchy, but today, I’m doing a garnish for those cocktails instead. Today I bring you maraschino cherries. While it’s true, they’re not a cocktail, the cherries are soaking in liqueur and are then used as the finishing touch in several cocktails. As a matter… Continue reading Maraschino Cherries
