If you live in Louisiana, you probably know too well that it gets sticky and sweaty in the dog days of summer in your part of the country. With spring in full swing, let’s start talking about what’s in store. To keep you refreshed in the hottest of days, here is a rum based beverage […]

The White Spider is April 29th Drink of the Day!!

April 29, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

This is a gin based cocktail that is enhancing the best part of the cocktail with its secondary ingredients more than trying to mask the flavor of it. If you are a gin imbiber, you will appreciate this drink. Just be sure to be careful, because this beverage has some legs. With just some triple […]

Satan’s Whiskers is April 28th Drink of the Day!!

April 28, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Here’s a classic cocktail that was first introduced in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. The drink I introduce to you is what Mr. Craddock called the “straight” Satan’s Whiskers. He also introduces changing the Grand Marnier to Curacao and calling it “curled” Satan’s Whisker’s. I prefer the straight, so I will introduce this […]

The Orange Buck is April 27th Drink of the Day!!

April 27, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Ginger ale is such a refreshing carbonated beverage and is a great wash for a cocktail. The proof of that is in the cocktail we selected for the Drink of the Day today. A nice combination of fresh citrus to go with the ginger ale, with the main ingredient - gin playing a nice leading […]

The Outsider Cocktail is April 26th Drink of the Day!!

April 26, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

What seems to be a rarity, when it comes to using mixers in drinks, is the use of apple cider. Probably because it isn’t something that’s always accessible. With the cocktail I chose for the drink of the day, it is a very fundamental piece to give you the flavor you will be looking for. […]

The Soother Cocktail is April 25th Drink of the Day!!

April 25, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Just one taste of this drink will make you realize where they get the name. This is one of those liquid sedatives that you want to forget the daily grind with. Yes, the temperature is creeping up outside, but there are still the chilly nights where the fire can be lit and you can get […]

The Scofflaw Cocktail is April 24th Drink of the Day!!

April 24, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

The name, “Scofflaw” was given to those who would enjoy an alcoholic beverage during the time the United States was going through Prohibition. The cocktail, named after these imbibers, was invented in Paris, France at Harry’s Bar in 1924. This cocktail is usually made with rye or bourbon whiskey. But, just to give this a little […]

The Surf Rider is April 23rd Drink of the Day!!

April 23, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Being one who likes some of the tastier and full-bodied spirits, I tend to wonder how anyone can drink a vodka on the rocks. There really isn’t anything there. I believe that is the reason we are seeing a plethora of flavored vodkas coming out into the market. You’ve got everything from your citrus flavored, […]

The Canadian Pineapple is April 22nd Drink of the Day!!

April 22, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Whiskey cocktails are great, especially when you are using a good Canadian blend for the base. As many of you already know, these whiskys are great when introducing other ingredients to enhance them. Most are meant to be mixed with something else. Now, this does not mean that they are not good, just to clear […]

The Electric Jam is April 21st Drink of the Day!!

April 21, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender |

A perfect name for this electric blue cocktail. A nice and easy one for you for a Monday evening, this one is not only a great refresher, it is also a nice looker when you are carrying it around the patio. Mondays are difficult enough. No preparing from a shaker glass and having to […]
