The Cosmopolitan is one of my favorite cocktails. The bright pink color, the combination of triple sec, vodka and cranberry juice, it really is the perfect cocktail. And that’s not just because Carrie and all her friends were drinking them on Sex and the City. I was a fan waaaaaaay before that show made the… Continue reading Bronx Cocktail

Angel’s Kiss Cocktail
The Angel’s Kiss. I’ve been wanting to make this cocktail for awhile. But since “kiss” is in the name I thought the drink deserved to be saved for the holiday that’s all about kissing. The fact that it’s made of chocolate, cream and cherries, makes it the perfect dessert cocktail for Valentine’s Day, don’t you… Continue reading Angel’s Kiss Cocktail

It’s actually how I met my husband. Yes, just like that couple in the movie. Anyway, during all my club hopping there… Continue reading The Manhattan Cocktail
Tom Collins for Father’s Day
It’s Father’s Day on Sunday. A lot of you will probably be grilling some cut of meat on the barbecue and having a drink or two. It could be beer, but since it’s June and (hopefully) warm, why not have something a little more refreshing? This year, why not treat your dad to a Tom… Continue reading Tom Collins for Father’s Day
