I was wanting to relax and take in the day last night when getting off a long double shift at work. I wanted something that would not only be refreshing and bold, but also something that could put an exclamation point on the day itself. I didn’t want a summertime drink. I wanted one that [...]
The name “martini” has evolved into anything that goes into a martini glass. Oh, how the person who came up with the original one are probably rolling in their graves. It has become a common term and the true martini has lost its identity because of it. Case in point, I was asked to make a martini [...]
This drink is kind of an oddity because the main ingredient is Dry Vermouth. Not too often will you see this being the center piece to any cocktail. But, with the brandy being the secondary, and the other ingredients included, it works out nicely. I need to warn you that this cocktail is not for [...]

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 [...]
Some people believe that Sunday is God’s day and that alcohol should not be consumed. Being part of an Irish-Catholic upbringing, the thought process on this kind of throws me, somewhat. If alcohol is consumed responsibly, it is a way for people to relax and bring their guard down to better socialize with others. In [...]
This is not your kids summertime drink. This is the adult version that was introduced to me by a lady from Tennessee that I wanted to share. A very refreshing, yet powerful cocktail that was very popular in my bar the other night when it was introduced. I had to make this the Drink of [...]
