It’s been a whirlwind month and we’re only through the 2nd week of May! May’s always been a busy month for me. Between all my boys’ birthdays (there are 3!), Mother’s Day, 2 anniversaries (mine and my parents), it’s always insane trying to schedule everything. But this year’s especially nuts! Last week I was in… Continue reading Gin & It

The Alaska Cocktail
The first day of fall was Wednesday which means it’s time to start thinking about warmer drinks and cocktails made with bourbon or scotch.

The Martini
When I first started classic cocktail Fridays, I wanted to do a martini since that’s my and my hubby’s cocktail of choice. The martini is a true classic.
