I got to experience something pretty incredible last Monday. I got to go to a liquor and bitters tasting. I know, you’re probably wondering what makes Monday any different from all the other liquor events I go to. Well, not only did I get to sample a brand new liquor, I got to taste a… Continue reading A Day at the Spa

Sky Juice
I just got back from the Bahamas, a beautiful group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where all one does is swim and lounge and swim… and lounge. It was wonderful. While I did plenty of swimming and snorkeling, I also did my share of drinking. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing better… Continue reading Sky Juice
Splendid Spritz
Since summer officially starts next week, I wanted to whip up a cocktail that would be the perfect summer sipper. Something light, something bubbly, something that you could drink at breakfast, lunch or dinner. What kind of cocktail does all this? Why, a Spritz of course. In case you don’t know, a Spritz is a… Continue reading Splendid Spritz
The Gypsy Cocktail – Then and Now
As a vintage food and cocktail blogger, I have the opportunity to attend a lot of food and drink events. Most of them focus on current recipes and cookbooks as well as all the new liquors available for purchase. They’re all so much fun! I mean, who doesn’t love tasting delicious food and sipping on… Continue reading The Gypsy Cocktail – Then and Now
Queen of Ashes Cocktail
As you all know, I’m a huge fan of the classics. Classic movies, classic cocktails, classic clothes… put it in another era I’m all in. So, that’s why I’m kinda embarrassed to admit something. I’ve never seen Game of Thrones. Yup, never watched a single episode. I know, a show that’s all about kings, queens… Continue reading Queen of Ashes Cocktail
The Rose Cocktail
Earlier this week I talked about how breakfast, whether it be in bed or at a restaurant, is almost always part of the Mother’s Day festivities. The other thing that almost always goes with Mother’s Day are flowers. I love getting a fresh bouquet of flowers from my men. Sometimes they’re sunflowers, sometimes they’re tulips, I… Continue reading The Rose Cocktail
Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Spring has officially sprung. The weather has turned warm, Easter and Passover have passed and flowers are everywhere, especially since we had so much rain over the winter months. There are flowers blooming in gardens, flowers by the side of the road and flowers in vases on tables all over the country. With such an… Continue reading Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Orange Blossom Cocktail
Last week I introduced you to a cocktail called the Orange Bloom in honor of the Super Bloom. It had a delicate orange flavor thanks to the Cointreau. I liked it so much, I wanted to continue with the orange theme and bring you another orange cocktail: the Orange Blossom. I’ve said many times how… Continue reading Orange Blossom Cocktail
Orange Bloom Cocktail
If you live in Southern California you’ve probably heard all about the Super Bloom. But in case you haven’t, it’s this amazing explosion of wild flowers that has hit California for the second time in two years thanks to all the rain. It’s an explosion of color that stretches from San Diego all the way… Continue reading Orange Bloom Cocktail
Spring Feeling Cocktail
So, by now I’m sure you know that St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, if for no other reason than I’ve been telling you. But in case you’ve missed all the green everywhere and the racks and racks of shamrocks, leprechauns and gold coins… it’s St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. But something you may not know… Continue reading Spring Feeling Cocktail
Irish Whiskey Highball
When I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of leprechauns, pots of gold, rainbows, corned beef and green beer. I love all those things except for the green beer. I’m not a big beer fan anyway, but turning it green really makes me gag. So, I look for alternative green cocktails to celebrate the… Continue reading Irish Whiskey Highball
