Since I started doing classic cocktails on Fridays people have inquired if there were certain ones I’d made. Some, like the martini I had already done and others, like the sazerac, I hadn’t. Of course when asked about a certain cocktail that I had yet to post, I made it my mission to try and… Continue reading Moscow Mule

Black and Tan
I know I normally do cocktails on Fridays, but Sunday is the Super Bowl and I thought a beer drink would be more suitable than a cocktail made with hard alcohol. While most people drink beer out of the bottle during football season, there are those that choose to consume the elixir from a nice… Continue reading Black and Tan
Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Today is Friday the 13th. I know, I know, you just want to pull the covers up over your head and pretend this day doesn’t exist. But unfortunately it does. So rather than avoid that black cat or those ladders, why not grab a rabbit’s foot, throw some salt over your shoulder and head out… Continue reading Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
During this holiday season I make plenty of cocktails. Some are simple and some are a little more complicated. While some are cold, most of my cocktail choices during this chilly time of year are hot. After all, there’s nothing better on a snowy evening than Hot Chocolate with Baileys or a big steaming cup… Continue reading Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
Tom & Jerry Cocktail
I know it’s been awhile since my last classic cocktail post and for that I apologize. But I figured what better month to start them back up again than December, the month of holidays and parties galore. If you’re anything like me you have at least one part you’ll be attending (or throwing) and so… Continue reading Tom & Jerry Cocktail
Sazerac Cocktail
A few weeks ago I was going to make a sazerac for my classic cocktail. But upon doing the research on the cocktail’s history, I discovered that the cocktail not only originated in, but is also the cocktail of New Orleans. So since G and I were headed there for vacation, I thought I’d wait… Continue reading Sazerac Cocktail
Bloody Mary Cocktail
I’ve never been a fan of Bloody Marys. I don’t know why. I mean, I love tomato juice and I love vodka, but for some reason when those two liquids are mixed together it turns my taste buds cold. Then again, I’d never been a fan of bourbon until a friend introduced me to Woodford… Continue reading Bloody Mary Cocktail
The Old Fashioned
There have been several classic cocktails I’ve been waiting to make because they called for maraschino cherries. And being the cook/stickler for authenticity that I am, I didn’t want to use the sicky sweet, neon red maraschino cherries you find at the grocery store. I wanted to use the kind that you make yourself using,… Continue reading The Old Fashioned
The Sidecar
I’ve never been a fan of orange liqueur. Grand Marnier? Blech! Cointreau? No thanks. Triple Sec? Only if it’s mixed into something. I like my oranges in either fruit or juice form. (Which is why I’m especially partial to the Screwdriver, but that’s for another post.) But just because I’m not a fan doesn’t mean… Continue reading The Sidecar
Mint Julep in honor of BHF11PP
Today is the first day of Blogher Food in Atlanta and I am not attending. Like last year, I’ll be attending the Pity Party instead. The pity party is made up of a bunch of bloggers from all over who weren’t lucky enough to score tickets to Blogher Food. So we tweet and party and… Continue reading Mint Julep in honor of BHF11PP
The Martini
When I first started classic cocktail Fridays, I wanted to do a martini since that’s my and my hubby’s cocktail of choice. The martini is a true classic. Not only has it been around since at least the beginning of the 20th century, the martini has maintained its classic status, just look at all the… Continue reading The Martini
