The first day of fall was Wednesday which means it’s time to start thinking about warmer drinks and cocktails made with bourbon or scotch. But in several places (including here in So Cal) it still feels like summer. (It’s actually in the 80’s here.) That means you don’t need to pack up the vodka and… Continue reading The Alaska Cocktail

Tipperary Cocktail
So, St. Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, and like most events over the past year, I’m sure this year’s festivities “will look a little (or a lot) different”. Here in California bars aren’t open yet for indoor dining. If you live anywhere else in the country, however, you may be able to celebrate at your… Continue reading Tipperary Cocktail
Spring Feeling Cocktail
So, by now I’m sure you know that St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, if for no other reason than I’ve been telling you. But in case you’ve missed all the green everywhere and the racks and racks of shamrocks, leprechauns and gold coins… it’s St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. But something you may not know… Continue reading Spring Feeling Cocktail
Dollar Bill Cocktail
I’m sure you know tax day is coming. At least it is here in the United States. It’s that awful day where we figure out how much the government took over the past year and if it’s enough for us to get a refund, (yay!) or more likely, what we still owe them. It sucks… Continue reading Dollar Bill Cocktail

Don’t get me wrong, I still like whiskey, but those lighter liquors just seem to make better spring and summer cocktails… Continue reading Bijou Cocktail
The Epilogue Cocktail
I’m a huge fan of Instagram. Like the thousands of people out there who also use the app, I love taking pictures of my food and posting them to share. But I also like following all my favorite bloggers and seeing what they’re making or where they’re eating. The app has given me some great… Continue reading The Epilogue Cocktail
Widow’s Kiss
Whenever I hear the term widow, of course I think of a woman who’s lost her husband. But with Halloween on Monday, the term takes on a much more ominous tone that usually involves said wife, murdering her husband. So, when I saw a drink called the Widow’s Kiss, I knew it’d be perfect for… Continue reading Widow’s Kiss
The Last Word
St. Patrick’s Day may be a couple weeks away, but there’s no reason we can’t start thinking about green cocktails now. I know green beer is the alcohol of choice during this holiday, but seeing as how I’m not a huge beer fan normally, there’s no way I’m drinking it when it’s green. Believe it… Continue reading The Last Word
