Smith & Kearns cocktail

Creamy cocktails are great. While they’re not the drink that I think of first, they do have their place: usually right after dinner. Sure, sometimes I’ll have a White Russian or Coffee with Bailey’s, but that’s all changed thanks to…

Sangrita

No, this isn’t a different kind of of Sangria (that’ll come in the next week or two). This is actually a non-alcoholic drink from Mexico that’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Why would I talk about a virgin drink…

The Balalaika vs. The Kamikaze

If you’re anything like me you spent plenty of your college days (or nights) at bars pounding your fair share of Kamikaze shots. They were waaaaay better than tequila shots and had the same effect – quick intoxication. But I’ve…

Mojito – 2 Ways

A few days ago I was lucky enough to attend a cocktail tasting and the release of a brand new cocktail cookbook: Latin Twist. Of course I was first in line. I mean, what could be better than cocktails with…

The Shandy

Last weekend Kitchy took to the beach with some friends we hadn’t seen in awhile. We used to get together every 4th of July and I’d always make my fried chicken, so I promised to make it again. We also…
