Last week I introduced you to a cocktail called the Orange Bloom in honor of the Super Bloom. It had a delicate orange flavor thanks to the Cointreau. I liked it so much, I wanted to continue with the orange theme and bring you another orange cocktail: the Orange Blossom. I’ve said many times how… Continue reading Orange Blossom 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
Irish Whiskey Highball
When I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of leprechauns, pots of gold, rainbows, corned beef and green beer. I love all those things except for the green beer. I’m not a big beer fan anyway, but turning it green really makes me gag. So, I look for alternative green cocktails to celebrate the… Continue reading Irish Whiskey Highball
Hanky Panky Cocktail
Valentine’s Day is Thursday and have I got the perfect cocktail for you. I’ve been wanting to make this drink for awhile now, but I didn’t want to post it at just any old time. It’s called the Hanky Panky. I don’t know about you, but whenever I think of hanky panky I think of… Continue reading Hanky Panky Cocktail
Boston Cooler
I know all I’ve been talking about the past few weeks has been the Super Bowl, but in blogger-land that’s a very important time. It’s like Christmas or Halloween or the entire month of November. See, it’s during these months that bloggers everywhere focus on specific types of food. During the month of January and… Continue reading Boston Cooler
Cafe Royale
It’s been really cold and rainy here the past few days. I live in Los Angeles where it’s usually pretty warm, so I’m not used to all this cold weather. Since I’m not used to the cold weather, I’m not prepared for it either. See, I don’t have a lot of sweaters, and all I’ve… Continue reading Cafe Royale
Bird of Paradise
Since we’re right in the middle of January, we’re still in the middle of Tiki the Snow Away; an event that happens every January in the Instagram cocktail world. The whole point of the event is to make tropical cocktails that make you feel like you’re on a warm, tropical island. Last week I made… Continue reading Bird of Paradise
Honolulu Cocktail #2
I just got back from Montana where it was sooooo cold. The warmest it ever got was about 25 degrees. When you’re from Southern California where the temperature usually doesn’t go below 50, a high of 25 is pretty damn cold. As much as I love the snow and skiing, when it’s that cold, all… Continue reading Honolulu Cocktail #2
Dubonnet Fizz
I love champagne. I love it by itself, or mixed with other liquors or mixers. It’s one of my absolute favorite liquors. But while champagne is great all on its own any night of the week, I usually pop a bottle for special occasions: birthdays, graduations and of course New Year’s Eve. As a matter… Continue reading Dubonnet Fizz
Brandy Toddy
When I first started adding cocktails to this blog I went through all the standards from the Martini to the Manhattan and the Sazerac to the Julep. I even sprinkled a few hot cocktails in there like the Horse’s Neck and the Hot Toddy because when the temperature dips I like to drink something warm.… Continue reading Brandy Toddy
Regent Punch
I love cocktails during the holiday. Okay, I love cocktails all year long, but they’re usually extra special during the holidays. This is the time that eggnog, champagne and punches all come out to play. They’re more filling and definitely more festive. I like serving these festive drinks because they usually only come out during… Continue reading Regent Punch
