Since the beaches reopened, my family and I have spent a lot of time there. It’s so nice to be outside and play in the cool water. We’ve built sand castles, swam, body surfed and boogie boarded. It’s been wonderful! It almost feels like a normal summer. All this beach time makes me think of… Continue reading Gin and Sin

Blood Hound Cocktail
Over the past couple weeks there has been an incredible movement all over the internet focusing on Black creatives. In the wake of the death of George Floyd, writers, chefs, painters, distributors, influencers and mixologists have come together to magnify the voices of People of Color. In that time, I’ve discovered some amazing accounts and… Continue reading Blood Hound Cocktail
Orange Fizz
Brunch is always a big deal for Mother’s Day. Even this year, when no one’s venturing out to restaurants, we’re still ordering in and making a big deal out of the holiday. And we should! Mom’s a big deal. She’s there morning, noon and night. She’s that shoulder to cry on, that ear to bend… Continue reading Orange Fizz
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
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
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
The Gypsy Cocktail – Then and Now
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
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
