The Wild Dog Cocktail is January 31st Drink of the Day!!

January 31, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Here is an easy to make beverage that has a busy flavor that will please the senses. The combination of Southern Comfort and dark rum does the trick, with the pineapple used as a harness for both. All ingredients blend very well together and will give you a nice sipper to enjoy now, and especially […]

The Sunny Day is January 30th Drink of the Day!!

January 30, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This aromatic, sweet and sour beverage will keep not only your taste buds busy, but your nose as well. A very tasty, low-alcohol content cocktail will have you remembering its fragrance way after the last drop. The aroma of peach being accompanied with maraschino liqueur will only enhance the flavor and give you more than […]

The Filo Mint is January 29th Drink of the Day!!

January 29, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

One great thing about ending a meal is having one of those chewable chocolate/mint candies as a treat. This cocktail, if the ingredients are measured correctly, will give you that same flavor in your cocktail. Nothing like getting two birds with one stone - a dessert and cocktail in one old fashioned glass. No better […]

The Bye Bye New York is January 28th Drink of the Day!!

January 28, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

One great thing about making cocktails is that anything goes. You should look at each of the bottles of your liquor cabinet as individual ingredients that you can create your favorite beverages for your next party, just like you would when you are making any food dish with the ingredients you have in your kitchen […]

The Paul Mall is January 27th Drink of the Day!!!

January 27, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This is an old classic that I had to change up a bit due to being out of an ingredient, so the video version will not match my written version. In fact, it got me to thinking that this would be the perfect time for a little lesson. There are liqueurs out there that may […]

The Stimulator is January 26th Drink of the Day!!

January 26, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Talk about a contradiction! This cocktail is named wrong. It should be called the “One-Two Punch”. The combination of five liqueurs with the addition of cream will have you in a pleasant, possibly sleepy, frame of mind once you enjoy one. You may want to save a little room in your belly after dinner to […]

The Sputnik is January 25th Drink of the Day!!

January 25, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Here’s a fruity cream drink for you that will be a hit for the late night. A nice soothing cocktail that will be sure to put you in the right frame of mind and help you end the day on the right note. To lighten the body of this, use milk instead of cream to […]

The Co-Pilot is January 24th Drink of the Day!!

January 24, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This is a cocktail that I came up with using some liqueurs I have just acquired. The aromatic characteristics of these was hard to resist, and with the resurrection of the classic Aviator Cocktail, I felt I could add yet another flavor to it to enhance their presence in the drink even more. The slight […]

The Brenda is January 23rd Drink of the Day!!

January 23, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This is a cocktail I came up with for a lady who is dating the sous-chef at the establishment I work at in the evening. She is a huge fan of rye whiskey and wanted to have a cocktail that would compliment its flavor, not hide it. The tawny port was a great secondary ingredient, […]

The Rob Roy is January 22nd Drink of the Day!!

January 22, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This cocktail dates back to before the Prohibition and is a close kin to the Manhattan. The difference is the base liquor, blended scotch. This drink was first put together in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, where it got rave reviews. It is said to have received its name in […]
