For the past two years I’ve been invited to the OC County Fair to do cocktail demos. Last year I did bubbly cocktails with fresh produce. This year I did tea cocktails. Why tea? Well, the theme for this year’s fair was Feel the Sunshine, so I did something I’ve never done before. I made… Continue reading Peach Bourbon Sun Tea

If you’re a Better Call Saul fan, you know that this Monday is the series finale. At long last, after years of meth and money, cartels and… Continue reading S’all Good, Man
Gettin’ Figgy With It
It’s October and everywhere you look it’s apple and pumpkin everything. But there’s another fruit out there this time of year. It doesn’t get a lot of love, but it’s just as much a part of fall as the other two: the fig. Figs are a huge part of fall and are absolutely delicious. Available… Continue reading Gettin’ Figgy With It
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
Lion’s Tail
After last week’s St. Patrick’s Day Irish whiskey cocktail, I wanted to keep with the whiskey theme. So, we’re going with bourbon and the Lion’s Tail today. Now before you get all over me, bourbon is a whiskey, it’s just made a little differently. See, all whiskies, Irish, American, Scottish, etc. are made with some type… Continue reading Lion’s Tail
The Bishop Cocktail
Usually this time of year, I’m preparing for three big dinners: Hanukkah, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. But I don’t just plan the food, I also plan the drinks. I mean, let’s be honest, no meal is complete without a great cocktail. Sure, there is always a bottle (or three) of wine, but no one… Continue reading The Bishop Cocktail
Holiday Smoke
As you all know when the weather gets cold I switch my liquor gears from gin and vodka to bourbon and brandy. I just think the darker liquors work well during the darker, dreary months of winter. But just because that’s my preference doesn’t mean that’s all I drink. While the gin and vodka may… Continue reading Holiday Smoke
The Disinfectant
As you all know we’re stuck inside… “safer at home”. We’re trying to work or be intimate with our significant other all while homeschooling or cutting our hair. It’s really hard! All we want (and by we I mean I) is to get out and be with people. In person! But between dousing ourselves with… Continue reading The Disinfectant
Castro’s Christmas Nightcap
Last week was Thanksgiving and now we’re deep into the holiday season. That means that this weekend is the first official weekend of holiday parties. I know because we always have one. See, we don’t want to compete with office parties which always seem to be in the middle of the month, so we have… Continue reading Castro’s Christmas Nightcap
Tinsel Mary
I never used to be a big Bloody Mary fan. I mean, I loved tomato juice and I loved vodka, but for some reason when those two liquids were mixed together, my taste buds went cold. But I knew other people liked them and imbibed them regularly, especially over long Sunday brunches. So, I continued… Continue reading Tinsel Mary
Heaven Sent Cocktail
If there’s one thing I love about spring it’s the boundless fresh fruit available. It all starts in March with strawberries and goes until late September when the last pluot and blackberry fall from their vines. What does fresh fruit have to do with cocktails? Well, there’s simply nothing better than an ice cold drink… Continue reading Heaven Sent Cocktail
