In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge peach fan. As soon as they appear at farmer’s markets and grocery stores, I buy them by the bushel. Like apples in the fall and citrus in the winter, when peaches are in season, there are so many varieties. You could easily have one (or ten) every… Continue reading Peaches & Cream Cocktail

Castro’s Christmas Nightcap
Last week was Thanksgiving and now we’re deep into the holiday season. That means that this weekend is the first official weekend of holiday parties. I know because we always have one. See, we don’t want to compete with office parties which always seem to be in the middle of the month, so we have… Continue reading Castro’s Christmas Nightcap
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
Boston Cooler
I know all I’ve been talking about the past few weeks has been the Super Bowl, but in blogger-land that’s a very important time. It’s like Christmas or Halloween or the entire month of November. See, it’s during these months that bloggers everywhere focus on specific types of food. During the month of January and… Continue reading Boston Cooler
Regent Punch
I love cocktails during the holiday. Okay, I love cocktails all year long, but they’re usually extra special during the holidays. This is the time that eggnog, champagne and punches all come out to play. They’re more filling and definitely more festive. I like serving these festive drinks because they usually only come out during… Continue reading Regent Punch
Spiced Rum Cider
Los Angeles is a weird place. We’ll have days and days… and days of sunshine and hot weather and then suddenly, without warning the temperature drops and the skies open up. For the past week it’s been in the mid-50’s and raining here. Now, I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal in some… Continue reading Spiced Rum Cider
September Morn Cocktail
Well, we’ve finally hit September. As I mentioned earlier this week, that means the kids are finally in school and the leaves are starting to fall… or they should be. While it is September, autumn doesn’t officially start until September 22nd, which means leaves have yet to fall from their trees, and it’s still in… Continue reading September Morn Cocktail
Nutty Swizzle
We’re in our final weekend of the summer. It’s time to let loose and party! That means barbecues, hot dogs, hamburgers and plenty of desserts. There’s just one thing missing: a good… no a great cocktail! Well, as always I’m here to help with that. So this week, I created my own concoction called a… Continue reading Nutty Swizzle
Pupule
Tiki Oasis is next weekend. Unfortunately, I won’t be there. A lot of people I know and follow on social media will be, though, and I’m super bummed I can’t go. But you know… life. The closest I’ve ever come to Oasis was Mission Tiki which is a drive-in theater and swap meet filled with… Continue reading Pupule
Liberty Cocktail
I have two dogs. I love them tremendously and they’re a big part of our family. They take care of us and we take care of them, which means that every morning and every night they get a walk. Their walks mean we get a walk as well. We usually walk around the neighborhood, but… Continue reading Liberty Cocktail
Fair & Warmer Cocktail
I’m a huge fan of Instagram. I love looking at all the pictures and discovering a story, a beautiful vintage piece of clothing or some tasty recipes for both food and cocktail. But sometimes it’s not just about the pictures. Sometimes, the pictures become a challenge. A gauntlet is thrown and then it’s up to… Continue reading Fair & Warmer Cocktail
