Toronto Cocktail

We’re in a weird place right now with the seasons. It’s officially spring but it’s still chilly outside. Beautiful green leaves are sprouting on the trees but then a bitter cold wind blows off the ocean. It’s that weird time of year when I really don’t know what to drink. I know that sounds odd.… Continue reading Toronto Cocktail

Stone Fence Cocktail

Since Thanksgiving is next week, I wanted to bring you one more cocktail that’s not only perfect for the upcoming holiday, but has all those fall flavors we love so much this time of year. It’s the Stone Fence. If you are looking for a cocktail that epitomizes autumn, the Stone Fence would be it.… Continue reading Stone Fence Cocktail

Tipperary Cocktail

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

Holiday Smoke

As you all know when the weather gets cold I switch my liquor gears from gin and vodka to bourbon and brandy. I just think the darker liquors work well during the darker, dreary months of winter. But just because that’s my preference doesn’t mean that’s all I drink. While the gin and vodka may… Continue reading Holiday Smoke

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

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

Los Angeles Cocktail

The Super Bowl is only two weeks away, and while you may have your food all planned out, have you thought about what drinks you’re serving? Beer and cider are the obvious choices, but who says you have to stop there? Why not serve a cocktail as well? Since I love a good drink (way… Continue reading Los Angeles Cocktail

Good Luck Cocktail

When I was growing up, my dad worked on the 48th floor of the Bank of America building in San Francisco. Out his window was a beautiful view of the city. You could see everything from the Transamerica Pyramid to the Bay Bridge, including China Town. Since he had such a great view, every year… Continue reading Good Luck Cocktail
