  • Hot Spiked Mocha

    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…

  • Elk Creek Water

    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…

    The Bocce Ball

    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. …

    Apple Pie Shot

    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…

    Vodka Limonata

    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

    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…

  • The Alibi

    Unlike most people, I love Wednesdays.  Not because the week is halfway over, but because I get to drink.  Then I get to write a post about it.  The posts on Wednesday’s can be funny and even a bit racy.  Today I hope not to disappoint.  Today’s cocktail is the Alibi.  What is the Alibi,…

  • Red Eye Monster

    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. …

    The Kool-Shot

    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…
