Today I’m bringing you a gin cocktail. I know this is usually the time when I put the clear liquors away, but I recently discovered this gem and just couldn’t pass it up. As you know, I’m a big gin fan and honestly, there’s no rule that says gin or vodka can only be imbibed… Continue reading Red Lion Cocktail

Corpse Reviver #3
Since tomorrow is Halloween I wanted to get at least one spooky cocktail up before the holiday. Unfortunately I’ve done almost all the classic Halloween cocktails from the Bloody Mary to the Zombie. So, trying to find another classic drink for the ghoulish holiday has become something of a chore. But you know me, when… Continue reading Corpse Reviver #3
Gin and Sin
Since the beaches reopened, my family and I have spent a lot of time there. It’s so nice to be outside and play in the cool water. We’ve built sand castles, swam, body surfed and boogie boarded. It’s been wonderful! It almost feels like a normal summer. All this beach time makes me think of… Continue reading Gin and Sin
Blood Hound Cocktail
Over the past couple weeks there has been an incredible movement all over the internet focusing on Black creatives. In the wake of the death of George Floyd, writers, chefs, painters, distributors, influencers and mixologists have come together to magnify the voices of People of Color. In that time, I’ve discovered some amazing accounts and… Continue reading Blood Hound Cocktail
Orange Fizz
Brunch is always a big deal for Mother’s Day. Even this year, when no one’s venturing out to restaurants, we’re still ordering in and making a big deal out of the holiday. And we should! Mom’s a big deal. She’s there morning, noon and night. She’s that shoulder to cry on, that ear to bend… Continue reading Orange Fizz
Sgroppino
It’s such a strange time right now. We’re all suddenly performing multiple roles; before we were simply stay-at-home mom, bread winner, teacher, or student. Now we’re all four (or more). While trying to balance all those roles, we’re also desperately trying to keep our households fed and find enough toilet paper and paper towel to… Continue reading Sgroppino
Radler
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
Coquito
The holidays are right around the corner. First comes Hanukkah and then Christmas. With the holidays overlapping this year, there are plenty of chances to indulge in both fancy confections and cocktails. While I won’t turn down the sweets, you all know if it comes down to choosing between the two, I’ll go with the… Continue reading Coquito
Apple Blow Fizz
Next week is Thanksgiving and then we’re really in the thick of the festive, holiday season. At that point it’s all about apples, turkeys, chocolate and lots of lots of cocktails. So, I thought I’d get the ball rolling today with something festive and full of bubbles. But just because it has bubbles doesn’t mean… Continue reading Apple Blow Fizz
Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Everywhere I look these days there are apples. Fujis, Honey Crisps, Pippins, Granny Smiths, Crimson Golds, the list goes on and on. We all have our favorites, mine are Honey Crisps and Crimson Golds. But that’s not what I really love. When apples start showing up at markets, I know fresh apple cider is right… Continue reading Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Black Russian
When I started drinking, the White Russian was my cocktail of choice. It was easy to make and even easier to imbibe. The combination of vodka, Kahlúa and cream was sweet and creamy deliciousness. It was the coffee liqueur that made me a fan. The vodka was too strong and the milk was, well… just milk.… Continue reading Black Russian
