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

The Fascinator
No, I’m not talking about those adorable, little hats that everyone wears for special occasions, I’m talking about a cocktail. That’s right, a cocktail. After all, it is Friday and you all know what that means: classic cocktails! As I said, today’s classic is called a Fascinator, yes, just like the hat. And like the… Continue reading The Fascinator
Death in the Afternoon cocktail
With October first being Monday, that means it’s time to start thinking about Halloween. I know it may seem early, but I have plenty of friends who have already started decorating their houses. There are cobwebs, skeletons, ghosts, tombstones and of course plenty of death. It’s for that reason, I thought now would be the… Continue reading Death in the Afternoon cocktail
Monkey Gland
Don’t worry, I haven’t suddenly gone modern with my cocktails. I take my classics very seriously. As you know, I refuse to post a cocktail that was created after 1960. (Okay, I know I did the Godfather, but that was just one drink out of several dozen.) So, you must believe me when I tell… Continue reading Monkey Gland
Le Rat Blanc
St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday, so of course I wanted to make a green cocktail. But when it comes to green alcohol there are only a few possibilities: midori, green creme de menthe, and that evil, mind-bending classic, Absinthe. While Absinthe would have been impossible to come by ten years ago, it’s made a huge… Continue reading Le Rat Blanc
Pan American Clipper
No, I haven’t suddenly switched from a food blog to a blog about airplanes. Believe it or not the Pan American Clipper is not only an airplane, it’s also this week’s cocktail, and I chose it for two reasons. First it’s made with Applejack, and since we’re right in the middle of Fall when apples… Continue reading Pan American Clipper
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
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
