I love bourbon! It is one of my favorite liquors in the whole world. I am always messing around with it and I finally made a nice light and refreshing cocktail with it. I know there are others, but I wanted to create a cocktail for the summer. One that could handle the hot summer temperatures…
I was looking through my pantry to determine what I had available for a cocktail. After a few tries I came up with the most delicious cocktail to date. I called it the Knock Out Punch. Reasoning: It was a tasty punch, contained a nice helping of alcohol and you could not taste it at…
The other day I was rummaging through my kitchen looking for a nice cocktail to make. I found some bourbon, apple juice and ginger ale. I don’t know about you but it sounded like a good time to me. I combined the ingredients and made a cocktail. It had a nice little zip from the…
Last month I got married and one of our gifts was a nespresso espresso maker. Quite honestly, one of the best money saving items in the house. I can make hot and fresh mochas, lattes and espresso shots for the fraction of the cost. Plus, it actually makes them right so they taste good. After…
It is that time of the year. Yep, College Football. I was chatting with my friend Sean last week about football and he is the biggest Nebraska Cornhuskers fan around. He said that the unofficial drink for Cornhuskers football is the Elk Creek Water. While I am not the biggest Nebraska fan, I was intrigued by the…

Sorry that cocktail day is one day late. It was Dana’s Birthday yesterday and we had to celebrate in style. However, today I am making a traditional cocktail. It is on the same lines with a screwdriver, but with a little twist. A little OJ, a little vodka, some amaretto and a touch of seltzer. …
After a long week of celebrating I think everyone deserves a shot. I was lacking mixers but ended up finding out that vodka and apple juice are awesome together. The addition of some whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon and you have an amazing apple pie shot. The whipped cream makes this shot. Apple…
Since it is almost summer and extremely hot and humid here in DC, I decided to make a tropical drink. There are a ton of tropical fish bowl drinks out there, but I stumbled across one that fits the bill. It is tasty, it is blue and it is tropical in flavor. All of the…
The other week I recreated the infamous honey baked ham. In doing this, I used pear nectar. The jar of pear nectar that I had was way too big, so I had a lot left over. I used the remaining nectar to make martinis. Yep, pear martinis. They were so good that you could barely taste…
The other week I was coming back from Pork in the Park when we stopped at a Sonic Drive-in. I love Sonic. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. I am a huge fan of the cherry limeade. After taking a few sips, you realize that it would be amazing with alcohol. So…
There are a few cocktails that I used to make as a bartender that had crazy names. This is one of them. It is a sweet yet strong concoction that is very similar to a white Russian, but includes Amaretto and Bailey’s. The drink is a little sweet and masks the alcohol amazingly. You won’t…
