And pie month continues. During the holidays there are two things that often grace tables all over: cookies and pies. While Pumpkin and Apple are the common choices, there are so many alternatives. Chocolate, lemon, cranberry… the list goes on and on. So, in honor of that long list, I’ve decided to whip up a… Continue reading Hoosier Pie

Apple Blow Fizz
Next week is Thanksgiving and then we’re really in the thick of the festive, holiday season. At that point it’s all about apples, turkeys, chocolate and lots of lots of cocktails. So, I thought I’d get the ball rolling today with something festive and full of bubbles. But just because it has bubbles doesn’t mean… Continue reading Apple Blow Fizz
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

Low ABV (alcohol by volume) cocktails are all the rage right now. According to several sources including Liquor.com and Punch magazine, more and more bars are including these types of drinks on their menus, because more and more people want to have a cocktail that doesn’t wipe them out after they finish it. If you’re… Continue reading Kitty Highball
Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Spring has officially sprung. The weather has turned warm, Easter and Passover have passed and flowers are everywhere, especially since we had so much rain over the winter months. There are flowers blooming in gardens, flowers by the side of the road and flowers in vases on tables all over the country. With such an… Continue reading Yellow Daisy Cocktail
Spring Feeling Cocktail
So, by now I’m sure you know that St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, if for no other reason than I’ve been telling you. But in case you’ve missed all the green everywhere and the racks and racks of shamrocks, leprechauns and gold coins… it’s St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. But something you may not know… Continue reading Spring Feeling Cocktail
Irish Whiskey Highball
When I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of leprechauns, pots of gold, rainbows, corned beef and green beer. I love all those things except for the green beer. I’m not a big beer fan anyway, but turning it green really makes me gag. So, I look for alternative green cocktails to celebrate the… Continue reading Irish Whiskey Highball
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
