Henry “Hank” Aaron accomplished a feat on this day that many felt would never be able to be achieved. He broke Babe Ruth’s lifetime homerun mark by hitting career number 715 off Los Angeles Dodger Al Downing. He would go on to hit 755 home runs and is to this day, considered by many, still […]

To commemorate the day that women sufferagists marched to the Capitol Building to fight for the right to vote, this day in 1913, I felt it appropriate to introduce to you a classic that was made for the female to enjoy during Prohibition.

On this day, back in 1957, the last of the trolley car routes stopped running in New York City, after being part of the city for over seventy years. Cars, busses and subways made trolleys expendable.

Yes, not too often I put a drink on here you are familiar with by name. However, this is one of my favorite history stories on drinks and I felt obligated to share it. And when Mr. Churchill’s name came up in history, I felt it unjust not to tell it. Funny that everytime I […]

One of the most historic memories of the Old West is the Pony Express that would deliver mail from St. Joseph, MO., where telegraph service ended, to Sacramento, CA in eight days.

The Apple-tini is April 1st Drink of the Day!!

I have been contemplating coming up with a cocktail that did not exist, or one that would trick your senses, that would coincide with All-Fools’ Day. But, that would just make me one of the thousand blogs out there that are doing the same. So, I’ve decided to stick with trying to match the drink […]
