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 […]
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 […]

Most are meant to be mixed with something else. Now, this does not mean that they are not good, just to clear […]
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 […]
Happy Easter, everyone! A simple one for you today, since you are probably busy with other things. This is a cocktail that has only three ingredients, but a lot of flavor. A very easy drink to put together for a Sunday, hence the reason I picked this as the pick for the Drink of the Day! […]
I enjoy reading other’s blogs to keep updated on current trends, to check out reviews on wines and beer, and to keep on common ground with what I talk about on here. Of course, when I feel something has been given unjust history, or know when someone is blowing smoke, I do not share this […]
