Hope your weekend is getting off to a good start. Happy Saturday, everyone. It’s hard to believe that we are only one week away from having our first month of 2015 under our belts. Yet, here we are. Never took it seriously when my parents told me that time would start to fly when I […]

Drink of the Day: The Princeton

Today’s Drink of the Day has one of my favorite secondary ingredients in it: Tawny Port. No matter what you are adding this ingredient to, it seems to bring out the best of whatever its working with. There is no exception to that rule here. In fact, I tend to use a spirit that is […]

Happy Monday, everyone! After the last two weeks of holiday spirit, and short weeks at the office, we are getting back into the norm. The first full week of 2015 is now underway. What better way to kick it off than with a pre-Prohibition cocktail? For you gin enthusiasts out there, this will surely be […]

Happy Hump Day, all! Man, is this week going fast. For me, this is the busiest time of the year. Working everyday, sometimes doubles, and loving every minute of it. Wish my body could say the same. I am definitely past my prime and I am reminded of that every morning while forcing myself out […]

If you are a cocktailer, you are familiar with the brandy-based Sidecar Cocktail. Just take the brandy out and replace it with gin and you have yourself a White Spider. If gin is your thing, you are going to love this simple-to-make beverage. This is as basic as they come. The combined flavor of […]

Drink of the Day: Colorado Mother

If you are into combination cocktails, ones that bring together different types of spirits to give you a flavor like no other, you will love this Drink of the Day. A word to the wise: Be sure to keep this to probably only one cocktail, because this is one that is not for the weak. […]

Drink of the Day: Autumn Moon

Last month, I had the opportunity to test out some TOPO Organic Spirits. Located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they are getting some very good feedback on their three spirits: Piedmont Gin, Vodka, and White Whiskey. They are originally known for their beers, which they have been microbrewing now for over 16 years. Now, they […]

Here’s a treat for all you gin imbibers out there. A citrus-filled cocktail that will be perfect for that last family gathering before you send everyone home from this holiday weekend. Gin is sharing center stage with Cointreau for this one. However, I once again am going to change it up and replace it with […]

Drink of the Day: Barbary Coast

This one is not for the light imbibers. An interesting combination of three spirits, with liqueur and cream to round out the flavors, and you have yourself a soothing, yet powerful, cocktail. You may want to have this on the end of your dance card. The cream alone will get you in the mood to […]
