May 26, 2013 | By | Add a Comment

This is also known as Nuts N’ Berries, but this is what I originally know it as. It is one of those cream drinks that goes down as good as the sandwich it’s named after. One of my many lunch time snacks, (the food I mean, unless I’m having a rough day at the office!). […]

This is what I like to call a Screwdriver on steroids. If a highball of just vodka and orange juice isn’t going to cut it, I highly suggest one of these. Though the triple sec is a minute ingredient in this drink, it enhances the citrus flavor and, at the same time, calms the vodka. […]

A couple months ago, I introduced you to a new bourbon out in the market made by Big House in California. Here is their Tupelo Honey Bourbon, which I used for this cocktail. The smoothness of this bourbon by itself is amazing enough, so I did not want to go too overboard with adding to it […]

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 […]

This is not your kids summertime drink. This is the adult version that was introduced to me by a lady from Tennessee that I wanted to share. A very refreshing, yet powerful cocktail that was very popular in my bar the other night when it was introduced. I had to make this the Drink of […]

Here’s another flaming shooter for you. However, unlike the Flaming Dr. Pepper Shooter, you do not have the convenience of the beer to snuff out the flame. This one you have to blow out. Be sure to make sure the flame is completely blown out. This blue flame can be hard to see. Also, be […]
