Since tomorrow is Halloween I wanted to get at least one spooky cocktail up before the holiday. Unfortunately I’ve done almost all the classic Halloween cocktails from the Bloody Mary to the Zombie. So, trying to find another classic drink for the ghoulish holiday has become something of a chore. But you know me, when… Continue reading Corpse Reviver #3

Velvet Fog
The weather here in the South Bay (and all over California for that matter) has been cray, cray. One week it’s in the triple digits and the next it’s foggy and in the low 70’s. There’s no rhyme or reason to this weather pattern. One thing doesn’t change though, no matter what the thermometer reads,… Continue reading Velvet Fog
Gin and Sin
Since the beaches reopened, my family and I have spent a lot of time there. It’s so nice to be outside and play in the cool water. We’ve built sand castles, swam, body surfed and boogie boarded. It’s been wonderful! It almost feels like a normal summer. All this beach time makes me think of… Continue reading Gin and Sin
Blood Hound Cocktail
Over the past couple weeks there has been an incredible movement all over the internet focusing on Black creatives. In the wake of the death of George Floyd, writers, chefs, painters, distributors, influencers and mixologists have come together to magnify the voices of People of Color. In that time, I’ve discovered some amazing accounts and… Continue reading Blood Hound Cocktail
Orange Fizz
Brunch is always a big deal for Mother’s Day. Even this year, when no one’s venturing out to restaurants, we’re still ordering in and making a big deal out of the holiday. And we should! Mom’s a big deal. She’s there morning, noon and night. She’s that shoulder to cry on, that ear to bend… Continue reading Orange Fizz
The Disinfectant
As you all know we’re stuck inside… “safer at home”. We’re trying to work or be intimate with our significant other all while homeschooling or cutting our hair. It’s really hard! All we want (and by we I mean I) is to get out and be with people. In person! But between dousing ourselves with… Continue reading The Disinfectant
Mysterious Stranger from Korea
If there’s one thing I’ve discovered during this whole self quarantine, it’s that there’s a lot of cooking and creating going on. Some bloggers are trying new recipes from around the globe, while others are creating interesting art. Those creations are then uploaded to the world wide web and turn into instant sensations. I know… Continue reading Mysterious Stranger from Korea
Sgroppino
It’s such a strange time right now. We’re all suddenly performing multiple roles; before we were simply stay-at-home mom, bread winner, teacher, or student. Now we’re all four (or more). While trying to balance all those roles, we’re also desperately trying to keep our households fed and find enough toilet paper and paper towel to… Continue reading Sgroppino
Radler
I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quiet on the cocktail front this month. Well, that’s because so many people invoke the “dry-January” pledge and choose to skip alcohol for the first month of the year. I get it. After the holidays and the non-stop excess, both in the food and drink department, everyone’s… Continue reading Radler
Lemon Champagne Punch
New Year’s Eve is next week and for this holiday, champagne is an absolute must! While I have absolutely no problem drinking my champagne straight out of a coupe or flute, I prefer including it in a cocktail. My first choices are usually the Kir Royale or Champagne Cocktail because they’re easy to whip up… Continue reading Lemon Champagne Punch
Coquito
The holidays are right around the corner. First comes Hanukkah and then Christmas. With the holidays overlapping this year, there are plenty of chances to indulge in both fancy confections and cocktails. While I won’t turn down the sweets, you all know if it comes down to choosing between the two, I’ll go with the… Continue reading Coquito
