I have been on a huge summer drink binge lately and it might continue for a while. It is so freaking hot out that refreshing summer drinks are a must. Over the fourth I made a bunch of pina coladas at my parents house. Since then, I have been craving one, so I decided to…
A couple weeks back I sent Dana to the liquor store to pick up some coconut rum for the pina coladas. When she came back she also had a bottle of firefly sweet tea vodka. This stuff is awesome! You could totally drink it straight up without a mixer. But when mixed with lemonade it…
Do you like Pina Coladas, well then this post is for you. This coconut/pineapple inspired drink is awesome! It is one of those drinks that can go amazingly awesome or horribly wrong and taste like suntan lotion. I experimented with a few recipes and came to one conclusion; use coconut cream and not coconut milk….
As a bartender I always needed a go to drink for people that didn’t like alcohol, but wanted to get a buzz. This drink has great flavor, masks alcohol very well and comes in a bright red package. This adds the best part of drinking to the traditional non-alcoholic drink. Vodka!!
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…
Every week I try to feature an amazing cocktail. This week includes one of the best creations I have ever made. This cocktail started yesterday when I featured cold brew coffee on my blog. Cold brew coffee is brewed slowly and creates a nice smooth bitter-less coffee concentrate. Therefore, I wanted to create a cocktail…
It has been extremely hot in DC. Yesterday it was 92 in my backyard. 92 in April, you have to be kidding me. So I wanted to make yet another frozen drink. I had to choose based on the liquor I had on hand. Luckily, I had plenty of tequila. With tequila comes margaritas. I…
Leftover rum from Mardi Gras plus orange juice, cranberry juice and triple sec. The Rumster. Simple, easy and really good. Serve it straight up or on the rocks.
Do I love cocktail Wednesday or what. It has been warm and cold here in DC. Some days it is 30 and others it is 60. The other night it was 60 and I wanted to grill. Nothing goes with warm weather like cocktails and grilling. Today I am trying out a refreshing cocktail…
Last week I missed the drink of the week as I was suffering from the Swine Flu. But, I am back. I also brought with me some cider. I picked up some cider last week to help me get over my flu. Like orange juice, apple cider has over 100% vitamin C per serving. So…
This week I wanted to make another Martini. So I looked around and though a Pomegranate Martini would be perfect. A Martini with health benefits. Heck Yeah! A little info on our friend the Pomegranate. The name “pomegranate” derives from Latin pomum (“apple”) and granatus (“seeded”). A Pomegranate contains about 16% of our daily vitamin…
So this week my buddy Eric is getting married. To honor this holy union I decided to make his favorite cocktail, Crown and Ginger Ale. Back in Wisconsin we called these High and Dries. Some may know them as the Whiskey Buck or the Crown Buck, well with the addition of a lime wedge. Anyway…
