As a vintage food and cocktail blogger, I have the opportunity to attend a lot of food and drink events. Most of them focus on current recipes and cookbooks as well as all the new liquors available for purchase. They’re all so much fun! I mean, who doesn’t love tasting delicious food and sipping on… Continue reading The Gypsy Cocktail – Then and Now

Queen of Ashes Cocktail
As you all know, I’m a huge fan of the classics. Classic movies, classic cocktails, classic clothes… put it in another era I’m all in. So, that’s why I’m kinda embarrassed to admit something. I’ve never seen Game of Thrones. Yup, never watched a single episode. I know, a show that’s all about kings, queens… Continue reading Queen of Ashes Cocktail
The Rose Cocktail
Earlier this week I talked about how breakfast, whether it be in bed or at a restaurant, is almost always part of the Mother’s Day festivities. The other thing that almost always goes with Mother’s Day are flowers. I love getting a fresh bouquet of flowers from my men. Sometimes they’re sunflowers, sometimes they’re tulips, I… Continue reading The Rose Cocktail
Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Spring has officially sprung. The weather has turned warm, Easter and Passover have passed and flowers are everywhere, especially since we had so much rain over the winter months. There are flowers blooming in gardens, flowers by the side of the road and flowers in vases on tables all over the country. With such an… Continue reading Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Orange Blossom Cocktail
Last week I introduced you to a cocktail called the Orange Bloom in honor of the Super Bloom. It had a delicate orange flavor thanks to the Cointreau. I liked it so much, I wanted to continue with the orange theme and bring you another orange cocktail: the Orange Blossom. I’ve said many times how… Continue reading Orange Blossom Cocktail
Spring Feeling Cocktail
So, by now I’m sure you know that St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, if for no other reason than I’ve been telling you. But in case you’ve missed all the green everywhere and the racks and racks of shamrocks, leprechauns and gold coins… it’s St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. But something you may not know… Continue reading Spring Feeling Cocktail
Irish Whiskey Highball
When I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of leprechauns, pots of gold, rainbows, corned beef and green beer. I love all those things except for the green beer. I’m not a big beer fan anyway, but turning it green really makes me gag. So, I look for alternative green cocktails to celebrate the… Continue reading Irish Whiskey Highball
Hanky Panky Cocktail
Valentine’s Day is Thursday and have I got the perfect cocktail for you. I’ve been wanting to make this drink for awhile now, but I didn’t want to post it at just any old time. It’s called the Hanky Panky. I don’t know about you, but whenever I think of hanky panky I think of… Continue reading Hanky Panky Cocktail
Boston Cooler
I know all I’ve been talking about the past few weeks has been the Super Bowl, but in blogger-land that’s a very important time. It’s like Christmas or Halloween or the entire month of November. See, it’s during these months that bloggers everywhere focus on specific types of food. During the month of January and… Continue reading Boston Cooler
Los Angeles Cocktail
The Super Bowl is only two weeks away, and while you may have your food all planned out, have you thought about what drinks you’re serving? Beer and cider are the obvious choices, but who says you have to stop there? Why not serve a cocktail as well? Since I love a good drink (way… Continue reading Los Angeles Cocktail
Cafe Royale
It’s been really cold and rainy here the past few days. I live in Los Angeles where it’s usually pretty warm, so I’m not used to all this cold weather. Since I’m not used to the cold weather, I’m not prepared for it either. See, I don’t have a lot of sweaters, and all I’ve… Continue reading Cafe Royale
