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…
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…
A couple of weeks ago I picked up an ice cream maker at the discount store. It was cheap, but it expanded my culinary reach by a lot. So I made this super simple lemon sorbet. After tasting it, I knew it would be the base of an amazing cocktail. So I had a few…
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…
The Moscow Mule was developed to change America’s drinking habits from Gin to Vodka. Sounds like a winner to me. I am not a big fan of gin, but vodka is my friend. This is a simple drink containing Vodka, Lime and Ginger Beer. The ginger beer and lime ad a nice little kick to…
Back in College I was a bartender and drop shots were big. We would sell 200+ yager bombs in a night. We would always be looking for the next big drop shot. The other weekend I was reminiscing about all of the crazy drop shots that we created. So I decided to make my own. …
When I was a bartender I made T-shirts that said “Vodka Cranberry not Cranberry Vodka”. Everyone always ordered a Cranberry Vodka and then they gave me blank stares when I asked if they wanted a shot or what they wanted the cranberry vodka mixed with. Yep, they make cranberry vodka. We stocked two kinds of…
Sorry that this post didn’t go up earlier. I just got a phone call from my Father at 3:30 PM eastern asking where my drink of the day was. I totally had way too many of them yesterday and accidentally scheduled it for 6PM instead of 6AM. Oops. My Bad. Well at least there is…
