Everywhere I look these days there are apples. Fujis, Honey Crisps, Pippins, Granny Smiths, Crimson Golds, the list goes on and on. We all have our favorites, mine are Honey Crisps and Crimson Golds. But that’s not what I really love. When apples start showing up at markets, I know fresh apple cider is right… Continue reading Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail

Black Russian
When I started drinking, the White Russian was my cocktail of choice. It was easy to make and even easier to imbibe. The combination of vodka, Kahlúa and cream was sweet and creamy deliciousness. It was the coffee liqueur that made me a fan. The vodka was too strong and the milk was, well… just milk.… Continue reading Black Russian
Blinker Cocktail
A couple weeks ago I talked about a new liquor out there called Infuse. They make vodka and whiskey, and because they’re under the Infuse moniker, both are infused with different flavors. While the vodka is infused with different fruits, the whiskeys are infused with… well whiskey. Or rather whiskey barrels. See, after six months in… Continue reading Blinker Cocktail
Mamie Taylor Cocktail
A few weeks ago I talked about a new vodka out there called Infuse where they infuse their vodka with different flavors made from all natural ingredients. I tasted their lemon vodka made with real lemon peels and was absolutely blown away. So, when I heard they were releasing their new Single Oak Series whiskey,… Continue reading Mamie Taylor Cocktail
Bebbo Cocktail
I love gin cocktails. It doesn’t matter if they’re straight up, on the rocks or full of bubbles. As long as the gin is good, I’m all in. While I prefer gin drinks full of bubbles when the sun is high in the summer sky, every so often a gin cocktail that’s straight up is… Continue reading Bebbo Cocktail
Bull Dog Highball
I have to admit something. I’m an addict. I collect cookbooks. If you were to see my kitchen you’d see stacks and stacks of cooking magazines and cookbooks. But it doesn’t stop there. I also have tons of cookbooks on the shelves in my office. But the books in my office are all cocktail books,… Continue reading Bull Dog Highball
The Fascinator
No, I’m not talking about those adorable, little hats that everyone wears for special occasions, I’m talking about a cocktail. That’s right, a cocktail. After all, it is Friday and you all know what that means: classic cocktails! As I said, today’s classic is called a Fascinator, yes, just like the hat. And like the… Continue reading The Fascinator
Kitty Highball
Low ABV (alcohol by volume) cocktails are all the rage right now. According to several sources including Liquor.com and Punch magazine, more and more bars are including these types of drinks on their menus, because more and more people want to have a cocktail that doesn’t wipe them out after they finish it. If you’re… Continue reading Kitty Highball
A Day at the Spa
I got to experience something pretty incredible last Monday. I got to go to a liquor and bitters tasting. I know, you’re probably wondering what makes Monday any different from all the other liquor events I go to. Well, not only did I get to sample a brand new liquor, I got to taste a… Continue reading A Day at the Spa
Sky Juice
I just got back from the Bahamas, a beautiful group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where all one does is swim and lounge and swim… and lounge. It was wonderful. While I did plenty of swimming and snorkeling, I also did my share of drinking. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing better… Continue reading Sky Juice
Splendid Spritz
Since summer officially starts next week, I wanted to whip up a cocktail that would be the perfect summer sipper. Something light, something bubbly, something that you could drink at breakfast, lunch or dinner. What kind of cocktail does all this? Why, a Spritz of course. In case you don’t know, a Spritz is a… Continue reading Splendid Spritz
