If there’s one drink I prefer during the summer time, it’s lemonade. Soemthing about that sweet, tart drink just makes everything better. I know I’m not alone in this thinking because it’s around this time of year that kids of all ages start setting up lemonade stands all over neighborhoods. We all stop and buy… Continue reading Silver Fizz

Blue Moon Cocktail
Did you know there’s a blue moon tonight? But unlike it’s moniker the moon won’t actually be blue. Nope, sorry to disappoint you. Like the saying “once in a blue moon”, a blue moon only occurs once every couple years and is the second full moon in a calendar month. But the blue moon that’s… Continue reading Blue Moon Cocktail
Applejack Rabbit Cocktail
With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away and us being right in the thick of fall, I’m all about the fall-themed cocktails. What makes a fall-themed cocktail? For me, it’s those drinks that are made with Applejack or bourbon; cocktails that have a heartier flavor and are usually served up as opposed to on the… Continue reading Applejack Rabbit Cocktail
Gin Sour
We’re right in the middle of citrus season. That means lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits are overflowing at the grocery stores and farmers markets. With so many to choose from, you don’t have to get just a lemon or an orange. Now you can get an Eureka or Meyer lemon or a Cara Cara or… Continue reading Gin Sour

As a big bourbon fan myself, I was thrilled to make this discovery because now I have a reason to post numerous… Continue reading The Commodore No. 2
Gin Fizz
Last week I did a cocktail that had lemon and orange juice in it because the citrus juices are wonderful mixers for the summer time. So, I thought why not continue the trend this week; especially since it’s still summer, it’s still hot, and these citrus cocktails are wonderful refreshers. So, today I’m doing a… Continue reading Gin Fizz
Maiden’s Prayer
Summer months call for cool, refreshing cocktails. And to me, cool and refreshing usually means something with fruit juice as its main mixer. My favorite mixer is without a doubt, citrus juice. I don’t care if it’s orange, lemon or lime, as long as it’s citrus, I’m happy. Since these are some of my favorite… Continue reading Maiden’s Prayer
Diamond Fizz Cocktail
I was pulling my hair out this week trying to decide what vintage cocktail to bring you. Should I do a whiskey drink? What about vodka? Or maybe gin. But then I remembered that the Academy Awards are this Sunday, so I thought I should do something a little fancier. How can a cocktail be… Continue reading Diamond Fizz Cocktail
