Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?! Where did the time go? Last year the days seemed to drag on and on, but this year the days are going by super quick. I mean, I feel like the kids just went back to school! So, since things are moving at lightning speed, and there… Continue reading Food and Cocktail Advent Calendars

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
Michelada
The most common drink served at Super Bowl parties is beer. Yes, there are plenty of types of beer from lagers to ales to stouts, and every so often you might even find a cider or lite beer. Rarely do you find a cocktail at these parties. But there’s no rule that says you only… Continue reading Michelada

It may have stopped raining here in Los Angeles, but it’s still cold. I got up this morning and it was 47 degrees outside. I know that’s not that cold compared to other states in the country, but that’s chilly for Southern California. Nothing’s better for cold weather than hot cocktails. So, just like last… Continue reading Tewahdiddle
Auld Man’s Milk
For the past several months all we’ve been hearing about here in California is the El Niño. It’s a serious rain storm that comes from the warming of the oceans. We’ve been waiting and waiting for all this cold rain and wind and it finally showed up this week. In abundance. Yes, it’s finally cold… Continue reading Auld Man’s Milk
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 always had a cocktail. Most of the time it was margaritas. But truth be told… Continue reading The Shandy

Sunday is the Superbowl and this year it’s in Arizona where the current temperature is a rainy 61 degrees. But by Sunday the skies will clear and the temperature should be a nice, mild 72. In other words completely and totally not cold. But unlike Arizona and California, the rest of the country will be… Continue reading Copenhagen
Grilled Onion Beer Bread
Superbowl’s in a couple weeks and if you’re anything like me, you’re either having a party or attending one. The Superbowl is far and away my favorite holiday. I know it isn’t really a holiday, but with all the parties, food and drinking it sure seems like one, and I love it! Hubs and I… Continue reading Grilled Onion Beer Bread
Boilermaker
I was wracking my brain trying to think of a classic cocktail that would be good for the Superbowl, but the only thing people seem to drink during the big game is beer. So then I started to wonder if there was such a cocktail. I mean, I’ve already done the Black & Tan and… Continue reading Boilermaker
Black Velvet Cocktail
When I think of black velvet two things come to mind, the soft luscious fabric that’s often used to make cocktail dresses and the 90’s song by Alannah Myles. The one thing that never came to mind, until recently that is, was this classic English cocktail. But when I discovered that not only is it… Continue reading Black Velvet Cocktail
Black and Tan
I know I normally do cocktails on Fridays, but Sunday is the Super Bowl and I thought a beer drink would be more suitable than a cocktail made with hard alcohol. While most people drink beer out of the bottle during football season, there are those that choose to consume the elixir from a nice… Continue reading Black and Tan
