It’s been hot! I mean, surface of the sun hot. I live 10 blocks from the beach and it’s been oscillating between 80 and 90 degrees depending on the time of day. But if you look up above, it looks like rain… which sort of fits. Any time I’ve been somewhere tropical, somewhere the temperatures… Continue reading Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail

Watermelon Mojito
Yes, it’s another mojito recipe! But do you blame me? It’s summer! When I think of summer, I think of days at the beach, lounging at the pool, backyard barbecues and plenty of fun! And nothing goes better with summertime fun than a rum cocktail. Rum is one of of those liquors that just screams… Continue reading Watermelon Mojito

Starting today, it’s going to be all holiday cocktails all the time. They’re going to be sparkling, they’re going to be full of spice and they’re going to be super creamy! And of course all the ones here on the blog will be vintage. So, no matter what you’re preference, I got you covered. Today… Continue reading Parisian Blonde
Chicago Fizz
Sunday is National Repeal Day, the last night of Hanukkah and we’re officially in the middle of Christmas season. That means it’s all about fall and winter cocktails. There’s the classic egg nog, mulled cider, cranberry cocktails… anything that has to do with the holidays. When I think of this time of year, I think of… Continue reading Chicago Fizz
Little Devil Cocktail
I wait for October all year, then as soon as the calendar hits October 1st, the decorations are out! I know some people start decorating for Halloween in the middle of September, but that never felt right to me. Kind of like Christmas decorations in October. Christmas decorations should never be seen before at least… Continue reading Little Devil Cocktail
Brandy Daisy
Today’s the first day of October. The leaves have started to change color and there’s a definite chill in the air. While others are thinking about Halloween decorations, I’m thinking about fall and winter cocktails. This is the time of year I start to switch out my vodka and gin for bourbon and scotch. But those… Continue reading Brandy Daisy
Knickerbocker Cocktail
I know it’s been a little quiet here the past few weeks. I’ve missed you guys. I’ve missed sitting down at my computer and writing about what’s been going on in our lives while whipping up some delicious dinners and mixing up some delectable cocktails. Well, we’ve wrapped up our summer and the kids are… Continue reading Knickerbocker Cocktail
Polynesian Pearl Diver
Hubs and I love TCM. As vintage fans, we love tuning into those classic movies from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Sure, the stories are always quaint and the guy always gets the girl, but there’s just something about those black & white pictures with the beautiful clothes and stories so ridiculous there’s no way… Continue reading Polynesian Pearl Diver
Air Mail Cocktail
Now that the world is opening up again, all of us are booking vacations! I mean after being stuck in your house/town for the past 15 months don’t you want to get away? I know I do! It doesn’t matter whether you’re driving or flying, you’ll probably be sending off a post card or two,… Continue reading Air Mail Cocktail
Test Pilot
With Memorial Day coming up on Monday, I thought I’d reach back in the annals of cocktaildom and bring you a drink that’s not only a classic, but a perfect choice to imbibe on the war-based holiday: the Test Pilot. As you know, we have two military holidays here in the United States. The first… Continue reading Test Pilot
Millionaire Cocktail #1
About a month ago I introduced you to a classic Millionaire Cocktail because Tax Day was right around the corner. But then (as with everything this year) things changed. Because of Covid, the IRS was nice enough to move Tax Day from April to May. Yes, if you haven’t filed, believe it or not you’re… Continue reading Millionaire Cocktail #1
