My husband and I love cocktails. When we go out to dinner, we never look at the wine list. Instead we ask to see the cocktail menu, especially if there’s a page (or two) devoted to martinis. My alcohol of choice has always been vodka, and hubs’ has always been scotch. He’s even gotten a… Continue reading Rob Roy

Old Pal
We’ve all heard of the Old Fashioned. It’s a classic that’s constantly ordered in bars all over the world. But what about it’s cousin the Old Pal? Never heard of it, right? Well that’s because this particular cocktail isn’t nearly as famous. But just because it’s not as popular doesn’t mean it’s not worth a… Continue reading Old Pal
Clover Club
Since St. Patrick’s Day is just over a week away I decided to bring you a cocktail that is neither green nor has Irish in the name. You’re probably thinking “wait, what?! How can there be a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail that is neither green nor Irish?” Easy, it has Clover in the title, and… Continue reading Clover Club
Fine and Dandy
I have a confession to make. My husband and I are big Disney fans. Huge. I’ve loved most of their cartoons ever since I was a little girl, I even own several of the classics. Then when I moved to Los Angeles, I made a point of going to Disneyland as often as I could… Continue reading Fine and Dandy
Between the Sheets
No, I’m not being flip. Nor am I making a rather obvious invitation. Believe it or not that is actually the name of today’s classic cocktail. And before you ask, no, I didn’t make it up. Someone much older than me, someone who’s probably no longer among the living, has that claim to fame. But… Continue reading Between the Sheets
Mai Tai
I’m allergic to pineapple. I know it doesn’t seem like that big a deal, but whenever I decide to visit somewhere tropical it becomes something of an issue. I start to see pineapple salsas over fish, pineapple desserts or worst of all cocktails made with pineapple juice. While I can usually avoid the first two… Continue reading Mai Tai
Boilermaker
I was wracking my brain trying to think of a classic cocktail that would be good for the Superbowl, but the only thing people seem to drink during the big game is beer. So then I started to wonder if there was such a cocktail. I mean, I’ve already done the Black & Tan and… Continue reading Boilermaker
Sea Breeze
If you’ve been watching my Instagram posts over the past few days, you know that I’ve been spending some much needed time in the sun with my family on a lovely tropical island. Since I’m lucky enough to be drinking cocktails on the beach, I thought I’d share one with you so you can have… Continue reading Sea Breeze
Boston Flip
Since it’s still chilly everywhere except California, I’m bringing you another heavy cocktail. This one may not be hot, but it’s so rich and creamy it’ll make you feel like you’re wrapping your tummy up in a nice cozy blanket. It is the Boston Flip. Why is it so rich and creamy? Why, the raw… Continue reading Boston Flip
Hot Toddy
It’s finally raining here, which means it finally feels like Fall. It’s chilly and windy and there are big, fat raindrops running down my windows and I couldn’t be happier. I can finally pull out my jeans and boots and sweaters and bundle up to go out. Then when I get home at the end… Continue reading Hot Toddy

Although it’s still in the low 80’s here in Los Angeles, it is November which means the leaves are changing colors, Thanksgiving is right around the corner and every kind of apple is available at supermarkets and farmer’s markets everywhere. So, since it is actually fall, I decided I’d do an Autumn cocktail. Why is… Continue reading Jack Rose
