While you’ll see a lot of recipes for champagne cocktails for New Year’s Eve, I’m bringing you a drink for the morning after. The morning when you might need a… Continue reading Morning Glory Fizz

Princess Mary’s Pride
Thanksgiving is next week. And while you’re probably all set with your food menu, what about the cocktails? If you’re anything like me, there will be plenty of red and white wine. But what about a nice aperitif or digestif? Something to get the juices flowing before you sit down to stuff your face with… Continue reading Princess Mary’s Pride
Harry’s Pick-Me-Up
Have you noticed that over the past few years, certain food and beverages have been getting their own special days? I’m not kidding. There are even websites listing all the different days and which food, sweet treat or drink should be celebrated. Some items are so popular in fact, they have several days during the… Continue reading Harry’s Pick-Me-Up
Batida
Yesterday was the first day of fall, and while everyone all over the internet and social media was talking about pumpkin spice and apple recipes, I’m still thinking about summer. Why am I still in a summer mood? Because it’s still in the 80’s here. Yes, while the rest of the world starts to feel… Continue reading Batida
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
It’s been hot! I mean, surface of the sun hot. I live 10 blocks from the beach and it’s been oscillating between 80 and 90 degrees depending on the time of day. But if you look up above, it looks like rain… which sort of fits. Any time I’ve been somewhere tropical, somewhere the temperatures… Continue reading Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
Gin & Tonic
I was going back through all my cocktail posts and I realized I’d never done the infamous G&T. You’re probably wondering why? I mean, I’ve got all the classics here. The Martini, the Manhattan, Bloody Mary, Mimosa, Margarita and the Mai Tai… and that’s just the M’s! If it’s got liquor and was made before… Continue reading Gin & Tonic
Golden Fizz Cocktail
After a couple weeks of rum-based cocktails I thought I’d switch things up and go back to another summer liquor: gin. If you’ve been following along, you know that I’m a big gin fan. Whether it be a martini, a gin rickey, or a negroni, if it’s got gin, most likely you’ll find me sipping… Continue reading Golden Fizz Cocktail
Watermelon Mojito
Yes, it’s another mojito recipe! But do you blame me? It’s summer! When I think of summer, I think of days at the beach, lounging at the pool, backyard barbecues and plenty of fun! And nothing goes better with summertime fun than a rum cocktail. Rum is one of of those liquors that just screams… Continue reading Watermelon Mojito
Blueberry Coconut Mojito
Monday is July 4th. The day America celebrates its independence from England. I love the 4th of July. Backyard barbecues, block parties, fireworks and ice cold cocktails. Yeah, nothing goes better with a hot dog or hamburger than a beer. Unless it’s a cocktail. A cocktail that’s full of ice and bubbles. My favorite cocktail… Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Mojito
Parisian Cocktail
It’s officially summer and when it comes to cocktails that means 3 things: vodka, gin and rum. These are the liquors I like to imbibe when the weather turns warm. There’s just something about lighter liquors, especially when mixed with soda or champagne, that scream summer to me. And since the past two weeks have… Continue reading Parisian Cocktail
Milano Torino Cocktail
Yes, it’s another Italian cocktail to commemorate my recent trip to Italy. But unlike last week’s spritz, this drink is definitely on the more bitter side. So, for all you Campari lovers out there, this one’s for you. Unlike my husband (and so many other people I know) I am not a Campari fan. It’s… Continue reading Milano Torino Cocktail
