I’m a huge fan of Instagram. Like the thousands of people out there who also use the app, I love taking pictures of my food and posting them to share. But I also like following all my favorite bloggers and seeing what they’re making or where they’re eating. The app has given me some great… Continue reading The Epilogue Cocktail

Ginger Syrup
No, I’m not doing a cocktail today. I know this is a little out of the ordinary, but every so often I like to break protocol and provide a recipe for a mixer instead of the cocktail itself. A mixer is an ingredient that’s an important part of the cocktail and turns straight tequila into… Continue reading Ginger Syrup
Gin Daisy
Spring officially started this week and Easter is on Sunday, so I thought a cocktail that goes by the name Daisy would be apropos. Easter and spring are all about rebirth. Flowers are blooming, leaves are reappearing on trees and there seem to be puppies and baby birds everywhere. (Did you know it was National… Continue reading Gin Daisy
Navy Grog
If you were following my Instagram feed last week, you know I was in Hawaii. To me Hawaii means warm climates, warm water, beautiful sandy beaches and tiki statues. It also means awesome tropical cocktails. I don’t know if you knew this but more often than not, these same tropical cocktails tend to go by… Continue reading Navy Grog
Scotch and Soda
I know what you’re thinking: “Scotch and soda? That’s not an interesting classic cocktail. That’s a drink that anyone can make anywhere, no matter what condition you’re in. It certainly doesn’t deserve a post.” While you’re probably right, Sunday is Father’s Day. What does Father’s Day have to do with a Scotch and Soda? Well,… Continue reading Scotch and Soda
Barware
Spring is officially here. The sun is shining, the days are longer, there are bright green leaves on the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. It’s the perfect time to pull out those bright Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, frilly summer dresses and strappy sandals. But all that outdoor wear can’t go to waste. Now… Continue reading Barware
Pisco Sour
Since we’re still smack dab in the middle of citrus season, I thought I’d continue with the Sour cocktails this week. So, today I’m bringing you the Pisco Sour. While I’m not usually a fan of the sour beverages because they are so sour, the Pisco is actually pretty sweet. The sweetness can most likely… Continue reading Pisco Sour
Holland Razor Blade
I know Fridays are usually my cocktail days, but since today is New Year’s Day and the day after New Year’s Eve, I thought I’d change things up and post my cocktail today. See, I had a feeling there might be a few of you who’d need a pick me up. You know… a drink… Continue reading Holland Razor Blade
Hatch Chile Ice Cubes and a Giveaway
Today I thought I’d spice things up a bit… literally. I know it’s usually my cocktail day, but since summer’s drawing to a close, I thought I’d do something that goes in one of those classic cocktails instead of the cocktail itself. Other than the liquor what could possibly go into a classic cocktail? Ice… Continue reading Hatch Chile Ice Cubes and a Giveaway
Boulevardier Cocktail
And we’re back! Last week I took a break from my weekly cocktail post so I could participate in Lucky Leaf’s virtual summer potluck. So, if you were concerned that I would no longer be making retro cocktails and sharing their history with you, don’t fret because today it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming.… Continue reading Boulevardier Cocktail
Stinger
When most people talk about stingers they always seem to mention Cary Grant playing a navy pilot in Kiss Them for Me and shouting “Stingers, and keep them coming”. I however, have never seen this movie which is a surprise since I’m a huge Cary Grant fan and have seen some of his more obscure… Continue reading Stinger
