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.

Pools everywhere in the Mid-West will be opening up in a couple weeks, so it is vital to get prepared by having a nice list of cocktails to enjoy while basking away in the sun. Here’s another summertime hit that will not dissatisfy. The Caribbean Cocktail is for those who enjoy a fruit cocktail, but […]
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 […]
I almost missed getting this out as the Drink of the Day today. I was at work last night when the Kentucky Derby was mentioned. If I wouldn’t have been in the middle of that conversation, another drink would have been chosen. In the occupation that I live and breathe that would not have been […]

There are many “sour” drinks out there, but this one is definitely king. The sweet and sour combination is a favorite with the people who really could care less about tasting that main ingredient, which in this case is the amaretto. Another nice thing about this drink is that the alcohol content is very low. […]
I had the pleasure of drinking with my friend Fred Matthews for this Drink of the Day. Just a couple Micks enjoying the company of some of our favorite Irish Whiskey and coming up with a couple drinks for the festive occasion. The Drink of the Day, you could say, is the Irish Buck Cocktail. […]
Ah, yes….Another bourbon whiskey drink that is perfect after a long work day. A creamy drink recipe with a chocolatey edge, it is the perfect day’s end drink; one that will make everything complete. What better way to reward yourself from the rigors of life than with a nice and soothing beverage? I still haven’t […]
