Good Thursday morning! This is a salute to my favorite talk show host, who I had the pleasure of watching during my many years tending bar. It will be hard to imagine that he will no longer be on the air. David Letterman had his last show last night. In his honor, I would like […]

Good morning and happy Hump Day! We have reached mid-week and are getting ever closer to the weekend. Some cocktails are meant to be enjoyed during a beautiful summer day, and this would be one of them. Gin and triple sec share the stage in this beverage, with pineapple juice and orange bitters playing an […]

Good day to all! Hope yours is getting off to the right start. I have a nice and easy one for you. Yet, you wouldn’t know it with the flavor combination. It’s visual appearance isn’t bad either. A beautiful hue of blue to go along with a nice aroma and even better flavor. This cocktail […]

The New York Stock Exchange is the measure of the financial state of our country. Security trading between brokers dates back to this date in 1792 under a Buttonwood tree in front of 68 Wall Street. Twenty-four traders and merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement. This group would grow and eventually would write up their constitution […]

Drink of the Day: Schoolhouse Cocktail

If you are into the summer shandys, this is right up your alley. A very simple to prepare beer cocktail for those who want a little more in their beer. In this recipe, I use an American Pilsner-style beer. However, use what you want to fit the taste you are looking for. I will say […]

Drink of the Day: Surf Rider

Here’s a cocktail that I love to share because it uses an ingredient people tend to disregard using when thinking up combinations. Sweet vermouth is a great mixer for more than your typical Manhattan and Rob Roy. Yet, for some reason, this ingredient is hardly even a second thought when putting together recipes. Once you try […]

Drink of the Day: Electric Iced Tea

Happy Hump Day! Getting to the crest of the hill and seeing the weekend ahead is always a good feeling. The phrase, “Work to live!”, comes to mind here as we all do what we need to pay on bills and keep some for ourselves to enjoy the little time we have off with family and […]

Hope your day is starting out right for you. Just getting into this new week, I wanted to share something we started several months ago. When I first introduced this cocktail back in November, it had yet to be named. We decided to have a contest to see who would come up with a catchy one that […]

Drink of the Day: The Robert Frost

Here is a cocktail that is one of the many signature drinks you would find at the Dead Poet located in New York City. A very smooth and sweet, yet very potent beverage that hides the flavor of liquor very well. A nice mix of various fruit flavors helps in this regard. The vanilla vodka base […]

Today’s drink is one that is for all you Campari fans out there. Campari, if you’re not familiar with it, is a bitters apertif and is very unique in it’s flavor. It’s origins date back to 1860, where it was invented by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy. Some of the once popular cocktails associated with […]
