April 10, 2013 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Ah, yes, another tequila drink! After going a while not having one, I think I’ve introduced a half dozen in the last month. How can you go wrong with this blue agave spirit? One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that for it to be considered tequila, it has to meet certain requirements. […]

This drink has been around since the early 1950s and helped bring Galliano to the forefront in the United States. Invented by three-time world mixologist champion and proprietor of Blackwatch Bar on Sunset Blvd., Donato “Duke” Antone. The drink is named after a Manhatten Beach surfer who was a regular at his establishment. This is […]

This has been a drink that has been a popular dessert cocktail for quite some time. However, there are two ways of making this. The one I chose to do today comes from Mr. Boston’s Handbook. Some recipes call for it to have raspberry liqueur along with the tequila and creme de cacao. The one […]

Tequila is an amazing ingredient for any drink. It’s unique flavor tends to put a twist with any combination. This drink is no different. The tequila and amaretto combination really does well with the pineapple and grenadine. A perfect drink for a sunny afternoon of relaxation. Don’t know why this drink is named what it […]

The Havana Cocktail is April 6th Drink of the Day!!

Nothing would make this drink taste better than to be sitting under the shade of a cabana, on the beach in the very town this drink is named for. However, due to US citizens not having this right for now, we will have to turn the heater up a bit and close our eyes, possibly put […]

The Midnight Express is April 5th Drink of the Day!!

Sometimes, you want to enjoy a cocktail that has a majority of the flavor coming from the liquor itself. If you enjoy a good dark rum on occasion, as I do, it’s better to have one on the rocks with a squeeze of lime. Why taint it with anything else, in my opinion? Alas, I […]

The Little Green Car is April 4th Drink of the Day!!

This is a nice combination of gin and rum with a taste of melon, coffee, hazelnut, and rounded out with pineapple. This will be one that you will never get enough of. Amazing how coffee liqueur compliments the other flavors. In fact, it gives you a boldness that seems to be missing in other fruit […]

Okay, time for an easy one! If you are as old as I am, you’ve probably done quite a few of these in your lifetime. This is a vodka based shot that is probably close to being the grandfather of all college shots and still one of my favorite. One thing to keep in mind […]

The Faye O’Rourke is April 2nd Drink of the Day!!

One great thing about tending bar….actually, my favorite part about tending bar, is the opportunity to meet all types of people. Not only that, they share a part of themselves when they enter my room, dropping all walls that surround them and actually have fun just being themselves. My job is to be a maestro […]
