What do you get when you combine coconut, pinapple, and lemon flavors to a rum and cognac drink? The answer is, one helluva summertime cocktail! This is the perfect drink this time of year, blending together the drink of the Caribbean with the drink of France. Add a little fruit juice and citrus to the blend [...]
Now, I must confess, I am a fan of tasting the liquor in whatever I drink. There are some out there that only want to get the sensation from the booze without tasting it. However, when it comes to my choice of a cocktail, I want to know what I’m getting myself into when I [...]
Nothing like the taste of citrus when the weather starts to heat up. Blending in the flavor of melon doesn’t hurt; makes for a great combination of tropical flavors. Plus, to bring this to euphoric levels, the color of this drink is very quenching to go along with its flavor. Named after one of natures [...]
We are a week away from the traditional pool season. Memorial Day Weekend is when many of the pools will open for the next few months. Nothing like a nice refreshing cocktail to kick everything off on the right note. The Crocodile Cooler fits the bill. Its citrus and refreshing flavor brings summertime to a [...]
Infusions give you a little flavor to any spirit. Be it rum, vodka, gin, whiskey, or anything else, you want to do a sample to see how well it works before making a true batch. Today, I am introducing a cucumber and spearmint infusion that I let age for 84 hours. I agitated or lightly [...]

This is a layered cocktail; those of us in the business know as a pousse cafe. You first will put in the most dense, or heaviest liquor, then go from there until your final ingredient will be the lightest, or least dense. If you do this correctly, and slowly, your finished drink will be layered [...]
This is a hairy naval cocktail with less orange juice and put into a cocktail glass chilled. What a great idea! That’s why it has become my selection for the drink of the day. Less orange juice gives you the opportunity to enjoy every ingredient in this drink, something I believe all cocktails outta be. [...]
I’m a rum fan, so I was happy to see that this type of liquor was not forgotten when making a traditional-style martini. Heck, vodka was able to do it; why not this island spirit that brings out the best of summer-like weather. Perfect time of the year to make this the Drink of the [...]
This is what I like to call a Screwdriver on steroids. If a highball of just vodka and orange juice isn’t going to cut it, I highly suggest one of these. Though the triple sec is a minute ingredient in this drink, it enhances the citrus flavor and, at the same time, calms the vodka. [...]
