I know it’s been a little quiet here the past few weeks. I’ve missed you guys. I’ve missed sitting down at my computer and writing about what’s been going on in our lives while whipping up some delicious dinners and mixing up some delectable cocktails. Well, we’ve wrapped up our summer and the kids are… Continue reading Knickerbocker Cocktail

Polynesian Pearl Diver
Hubs and I love TCM. As vintage fans, we love tuning into those classic movies from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Sure, the stories are always quaint and the guy always gets the girl, but there’s just something about those black & white pictures with the beautiful clothes and stories so ridiculous there’s no way… Continue reading Polynesian Pearl Diver
Air Mail Cocktail
Now that the world is opening up again, all of us are booking vacations! I mean after being stuck in your house/town for the past 15 months don’t you want to get away? I know I do! It doesn’t matter whether you’re driving or flying, you’ll probably be sending off a post card or two,… Continue reading Air Mail Cocktail
Green Isaac’s Special
Have you noticed how every day seems to be a holiday these days? Some, like Christmas and Veteran’s Day, are definitely noteworthy while others, like No Diet Day and Dictionary Day (yes, these are real holidays) are some of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of. But in the midst of all these weird (holi)days… Continue reading Green Isaac’s Special
Test Pilot
With Memorial Day coming up on Monday, I thought I’d reach back in the annals of cocktaildom and bring you a drink that’s not only a classic, but a perfect choice to imbibe on the war-based holiday: the Test Pilot. As you know, we have two military holidays here in the United States. The first… Continue reading Test Pilot
Vermouth Cocktail
Yesterday was National Aperitif day and spritz season has already started. So, I thought today, I’d talk about aperitif cocktails. A cocktail that’s imbibed before dinner, with or without an appetizer, the aperitif has a bittersweet flavor that stimulates the production of gastric juices thereby getting you and your palate ready for the meal ahead.… Continue reading Vermouth Cocktail
Millionaire Cocktail #1
About a month ago I introduced you to a classic Millionaire Cocktail because Tax Day was right around the corner. But then (as with everything this year) things changed. Because of Covid, the IRS was nice enough to move Tax Day from April to May. Yes, if you haven’t filed, believe it or not you’re… Continue reading Millionaire Cocktail #1
Hibiscus Sangria
Since Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo I wanted to post a classic cocktail that would be perfect for the Mexican holiday. No, it’s not the margarita. Don’t get me wrong, blended or on the rocks, the margarita is the first cocktail I think of when May 5th rolls around. But it’s not the only option.… Continue reading Hibiscus Sangria
Dirty Martini
Last weekend Hubs and I went out! I know this may not seem like a big deal, but considering the past year, believe me it was. Have you ever had a date night in the back yard while the kids watch a movie in the front room? Trust me, it’s not even close to the… Continue reading Dirty Martini
Millionaire Cocktail
In case you weren’t aware, Thursday was April 15th, the day when the IRS reaches into our pockets and takes a year off our life. Yes, there are a lucky few who escape the horror that is Tax Day, but most of us usually have to pay out in one way or another. This year… Continue reading Millionaire Cocktail
Strawberry Basil Mule
With spring ramping up and the weather getting warmer, it’s time to start thinking about spring and summer cocktails. These are the drinks that are full of fruit and bubbles. The drinks that are brightly colored and cool to the touch. The drinks that can (and should) be enjoyed on the beach or lounging by… Continue reading Strawberry Basil Mule
