So, St. Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, and like most events over the past year, I’m sure this year’s festivities “will look a little (or a lot) different”. Here in California bars aren’t open yet for indoor dining. If you live anywhere else in the country, however, you may be able to celebrate at your… Continue reading Tipperary Cocktail

Boothby Cocktail
The Golden Globes are Sunday! The beginning of what would normally be a long awards season. Unfortunately now the Oscars, Grammys and all other awards have been moved to April, which means award season has gotten even longer. What’s worse, it’s all virtual. Everyone, including the hosts, presenters and nominees are going to be tuning… Continue reading Boothby Cocktail
The Bishop Cocktail
Usually this time of year, I’m preparing for three big dinners: Hanukkah, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. But I don’t just plan the food, I also plan the drinks. I mean, let’s be honest, no meal is complete without a great cocktail. Sure, there is always a bottle (or three) of wine, but no one… Continue reading The Bishop Cocktail
Red Lion Cocktail
Today I’m bringing you a gin cocktail. I know this is usually the time when I put the clear liquors away, but I recently discovered this gem and just couldn’t pass it up. As you know, I’m a big gin fan and honestly, there’s no rule that says gin or vodka can only be imbibed… Continue reading Red Lion Cocktail
Corpse Reviver #3
Since tomorrow is Halloween I wanted to get at least one spooky cocktail up before the holiday. Unfortunately I’ve done almost all the classic Halloween cocktails from the Bloody Mary to the Zombie. So, trying to find another classic drink for the ghoulish holiday has become something of a chore. But you know me, when… Continue reading Corpse Reviver #3
Gin and Sin
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
Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Everywhere I look these days there are apples. Fujis, Honey Crisps, Pippins, Granny Smiths, Crimson Golds, the list goes on and on. We all have our favorites, mine are Honey Crisps and Crimson Golds. But that’s not what I really love. When apples start showing up at markets, I know fresh apple cider is right… Continue reading Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Blinker Cocktail
A couple weeks ago I talked about a new liquor out there called Infuse. They make vodka and whiskey, and because they’re under the Infuse moniker, both are infused with different flavors. While the vodka is infused with different fruits, the whiskeys are infused with… well whiskey. Or rather whiskey barrels. See, after six months in… Continue reading Blinker Cocktail
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
