Today is New Year’s Eve! In other years that would have meant nights on the town and kissing the person you love on a dance floor as the ball drops. But this year with the Delta and Omicron variants raging, it most likely means you’re kicking it at home instead. But just because you’re stuck… Continue reading Jimmie Roosevelt Cocktail

Remember the Maine
I’ve mentioned before that I prefer to drink brown liquors when it’s dark and stormy, and boy has it been dark and stormy. In the last four weeks we’ve had record amounts of rain. It’s been cold and windy and very, very wet. On days such as these, I tend to reach for the bourbon… Continue reading Remember the Maine
Rum & Honey
It’s been hot here. I mean really hot. Unseasonably hot. It’s February and the temperature is over 80°F. I’m actually wearing shorts and tank tops. In February! Okay, now that I’ve done my little rant, there is a reason behind it. Since it’s been so hot, I wanted something refreshing for this week’s cocktail. I… Continue reading Rum & Honey
Sunday Morning Cocktail No. II
What are the two most common drinks served at Super Bowl parties? Beer and more beer with maybe the occasional cider thrown in. But what about those people (like me) who don’t like beer? Yes, I love cider but cider isn’t usually an option when it comes to Super Bowl parties. Unless I’m the host… Continue reading Sunday Morning Cocktail No. II

Tewahdiddle
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 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
