Yesterday was the first day of fall, and while everyone all over the internet and social media was talking about pumpkin spice and apple recipes, I’m still thinking about summer. Why am I still in a summer mood? Because it’s still in the 80’s here. Yes, while the rest of the world starts to feel… Continue reading Batida

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
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
Jet Pilot
Remember back in May when I did a Test Pilot for Memorial Day? Well, I promised to do the Jet Pilot for Veteran’s Day, and Veteran’s Day is Thursday. So, here it is… as promised, the Jet Pilot to honor all those who have and currently serve in our armed forces. Like the Test Pilot,… Continue reading Jet Pilot
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
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
Peaches & Cream Cocktail
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
Sky Juice
I just got back from the Bahamas, a beautiful group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where all one does is swim and lounge and swim… and lounge. It was wonderful. While I did plenty of swimming and snorkeling, I also did my share of drinking. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing better… Continue reading Sky Juice
Bird of Paradise
Since we’re right in the middle of January, we’re still in the middle of Tiki the Snow Away; an event that happens every January in the Instagram cocktail world. The whole point of the event is to make tropical cocktails that make you feel like you’re on a warm, tropical island. Last week I made… Continue reading Bird of Paradise
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
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
