Tiki Oasis is next weekend. Unfortunately, I won’t be there. A lot of people I know and follow on social media will be, though, and I’m super bummed I can’t go. But you know… life. The closest I’ve ever come to Oasis was Mission Tiki which is a drive-in theater and swap meet filled with… Continue reading Pupule

Sensation Cocktail
A couple weeks ago I made a Seventh Heaven Cocktail. It’s a drink of three simple ingredients. But those three ingredients of gin, grapefruit juice and maraschino combine to make one tasty drink. It’s a classic, and recently I found another classic that while similar, was completely different. It’s called the Sensation and man, does… Continue reading Sensation Cocktail
Liberty Cocktail
I have two dogs. I love them tremendously and they’re a big part of our family. They take care of us and we take care of them, which means that every morning and every night they get a walk. Their walks mean we get a walk as well. We usually walk around the neighborhood, but… Continue reading Liberty Cocktail
Dollar Bill Cocktail
I’m sure you know tax day is coming. At least it is here in the United States. It’s that awful day where we figure out how much the government took over the past year and if it’s enough for us to get a refund, (yay!) or more likely, what we still owe them. It sucks… Continue reading Dollar Bill Cocktail
Apple Blossom Cocktail
My favorite time of year is the spring and summer because that’s when all the great fruits are in season. You’ve got peaches, plums, cherries and strawberries. But just because those stone fruits aren’t available doesn’t mean I’m out of fruit options. As a matter of fact now is prime apple season. While apples are… Continue reading Apple Blossom Cocktail
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
Porto Flip
During the holidays I prefer three kinds of cocktails. Thick and frothy, hot or sparkling. No matter which way I go, they’re always rich, delicious and the perfect kind of drink to have during these festive times. If the drink is warm, it’s usually a spiked spiced cider, if it’s sparkling, champagne is probably one… Continue reading Porto Flip
Honeymoon Cocktail
A few weeks ago I made a delicious fall cocktail called the Harvest Moon which is made with Applejack, lime juice and orgeat. It’s a great fall cocktail that’s perfect for this time of year because of the apple liquor. I liked it so much, I wanted to make another. I thought maybe I was… Continue reading Honeymoon Cocktail
Twelve Mile Limit
Now that Halloween has passed, I start looking toward the next big holidays of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s. With the holidays come more cocktails and those cocktails are usually made with Applejack, brandy, bourbon or rye. Why those liquors? I’m a big believer in dark liquors during the colder months. I know they… Continue reading Twelve Mile Limit
Royal Smile
As you know when fall hits, I change my liquor consumption. One of my favorite fall liquors is Applejack. I’ve done a lot of Applejack recipes over the years, but I’m always excited to find more, especially when they’re classics. Today I’m doing the Royal Smile. I chose this cocktail because unlike most of the… Continue reading Royal Smile
Harvest Moon
It’s October and that means apple season is in full swing. I love apples. I’ve been eating them since I was a kid. As a matter of fact I ate them by the handful. While they used to be Granny Smiths and Pippins, in recent years I’ve enjoyed varieties from Crimson Golds to Fujis to… Continue reading Harvest Moon
