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

Seventh Heaven Cocktail
I love history. I love the stories that make up who we are and where we (or our favorite cocktails) came from. It’s always fun to unearth how some unknown bartender in a dive bar in East Poopachuck, Vermont created a drink we’re still imbibing 100 years later. It’s a delight to lounge in my… Continue reading Seventh Heaven Cocktail
Angel’s Tit
Remember how I said I was going to be making a few Angel cocktails for Valentine’s Day? And remember how I said that a couple of them would elicit thoughts of S – E – X even before the first sip? Well, they say a picture’s worth a thousand words… so I’m pretty sure you… Continue reading Angel’s Tit
Angel’s Blush
Valentine’s Day is a week from Saturday. So the next two Fridays will be devoted to those classic Angel cocktails. A few years ago I made an Angel’s Kiss, but there are five other Angels that are just as tasty and perfect for the holiday all about love. Why are they perfect? Because they use… Continue reading Angel’s Blush
Creole Cocktail
If you’re a Manhattan fan, you’re going to love this week’s cocktail. If you’re not… just wait until next week. Since it’s the last week of Bourbon Heritage Month, I had to bring you at least one more bourbon cocktail. (Don’t worry, there will be more, especially since I’m off to Bourbon Central, Kentucky!) As… Continue reading Creole Cocktail
Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
I’ve been missing the past few weeks because the newest member of our family has finally arrived. Yes, Thomas Julian has finally made his presence known after nine long months of stretching and wiggling around inside me. He was well worth the wait as everything has been going swimmingly thus far. (I know it’s only… Continue reading Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
Maraschino Whoopie Pies
It’s Valentine’s Day next week and that means your mailbox is probably going to be full of red envelopes, heart-shaped cards, chocolate and flowers. While I like chocolate any time of the day or night 365 days a year, next Tuesday is the day when chocolate sales seem to go through the roof. And why… Continue reading Maraschino Whoopie Pies
Maraschino Cherries
I know Fridays are usually dedicated to classic cocktails here on Kitchy, but today, I’m doing a garnish for those cocktails instead. Today I bring you maraschino cherries. While it’s true, they’re not a cocktail, the cherries are soaking in liqueur and are then used as the finishing touch in several cocktails. As a matter… Continue reading Maraschino Cherries
