November wouldn’t be November without at least one apple cocktail. While apples have been in season for over a month, this is the month when pumpkin recipes step aside and apple takes its place.

Next week is Thanksgiving and then we’re really in the thick of the festive, holiday season. At that point it’s all about apples, turkeys, chocolate and lots of lots of cocktails.

Liberty Cocktail
I have two dogs. I love them tremendously and they’re a big part of our family. They take care of us and we take care of them, which means that every morning and every night they get a walk. Their walks mean we get a walk as well. We usually walk around the neighborhood, but… Continue reading Liberty Cocktail
Apple Blossom Cocktail
My favorite time of year is the spring and summer because that’s when all the great fruits are in season. You’ve got peaches, plums, cherries and strawberries.

The Jersey Lighthouse
So, I’ve been reading and hearing about the El Nino and how it’s coming to Southern California. Well, it’s the second week of December and we still have yet to see a drop of rain. The rest of the country is having horrible rain storms and tornados, but here in Los Angeles, we’re still living… Continue reading The Jersey Lighthouse
The Delicious Sour
Apples seem to be taking over the blog. Not just mine, but a lot of food blogs. It’s all because Thanksgiving is next week and apples are of course a big part of the celebration. You can find them in pies, stuffings, sometimes they’re even added to cranberry sauces. So I thought if we’re going… Continue reading The Delicious Sour
Applejack Rabbit Cocktail
With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away and us being right in the thick of fall, I’m all about the fall-themed cocktails. What makes a fall-themed cocktail?
