With October first being Monday, that means it’s time to start thinking about Halloween. I know it may seem early, but I have plenty of friends who have already started decorating their houses. There are cobwebs, skeletons, ghosts, tombstones and of course plenty of death. It’s for that reason, I thought now would be the… Continue reading Death in the Afternoon cocktail

Fitzgerald Cocktail
I love F. Scott Fitzgerald. I’ve read several of his stories, including Tender is the Night, The Last Tycoon and of course my favorite, The Great Gatsby. I’ve watched several TV shows and movies about the man as well as adaptations of his books. So, yes, I am a fan. I’m such a fan that… Continue reading Fitzgerald Cocktail
Tuxedo Cocktail
The Emmy’s are on Monday. I know it’s not as prestigious as the Academy Awards, but I’m a big TV fan. (I actually prefer it over the silver screen.) So, every year I get some Chinese Food and watch the show. While I usually have a glass of wine or beer with dinner, this year,… Continue reading Tuxedo Cocktail
September Morn Cocktail
Well, we’ve finally hit September. As I mentioned earlier this week, that means the kids are finally in school and the leaves are starting to fall… or they should be. While it is September, autumn doesn’t officially start until September 22nd, which means leaves have yet to fall from their trees, and it’s still in… Continue reading September Morn Cocktail
Nutty Swizzle
We’re in our final weekend of the summer. It’s time to let loose and party! That means barbecues, hot dogs, hamburgers and plenty of desserts. There’s just one thing missing: a good… no a great cocktail! Well, as always I’m here to help with that. So this week, I created my own concoction called a… Continue reading Nutty Swizzle
Caipirinha
Tiki Oasis happened last weekend and I had the perfect cocktail all teed up and ready to bring you in honor of the grand event. But then life happened and somehow the post never went live. So, rather than toss it, I thought I’d share it with you this week. After all it’s still a… Continue reading Caipirinha
Pupule
Tiki Oasis is next weekend. Unfortunately, I won’t be there. A lot of people I know and follow on social media will be, though, and I’m super bummed I can’t go. But you know… life. The closest I’ve ever come to Oasis was Mission Tiki which is a drive-in theater and swap meet filled with… Continue reading Pupule
Sensation Cocktail
A couple weeks ago I made a Seventh Heaven Cocktail. It’s a drink of three simple ingredients. But those three ingredients of gin, grapefruit juice and maraschino combine to make one tasty drink. It’s a classic, and recently I found another classic that while similar, was completely different. It’s called the Sensation and man, does… Continue reading Sensation Cocktail
Liberty Cocktail
I have two dogs. I love them tremendously and they’re a big part of our family. They take care of us and we take care of them, which means that every morning and every night they get a walk. Their walks mean we get a walk as well. We usually walk around the neighborhood, but… Continue reading Liberty Cocktail
Seventh Heaven Cocktail
I love history. I love the stories that make up who we are and where we (or our favorite cocktails) came from. It’s always fun to unearth how some unknown bartender in a dive bar in East Poopachuck, Vermont created a drink we’re still imbibing 100 years later. It’s a delight to lounge in my… Continue reading Seventh Heaven Cocktail
Bitter Cherry
It’s Negroni week this week. Don’t know about Negroni week? Well, then let me tell you. Negroni Week According to the website, Negroni Week was launched in 2013 by Imbibe Magazine as a celebration of one of the world’s great classic cocktails in an effort to raise money for charities around the world.
