For some of us, Christmas Day was just the beginning of a week’s worth of holiday cheer. With the New Year just a week away, bartenders like myself have been busy doing the holiday thing for the last few weeks now. We are now in the final stretch. Honestly, I am looking forward to a nice relaxing […]

Here’s an interesting one for you for your Sunday quaff. An old pre-Prohibition cocktail that is very potent and a true sipper in every sense of the word. Figured I would throw out an oldie, but goodie, to start the week off right. For all you football fans out there, this may be one you […]

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 […]

This is the last of the seven cocktails I created for the 2013 Los Angeles International Spirits Expo, and a perfect one to conclude on. A champagne based cocktail, this one will tickle every taste bud as you savor its flavor. The combination of raspberry liqueur with the orange flavored brandy is the perfect mix […]

We celebrate our independence on this day. Let’s not forget the people who fought for our freedoms that we enjoy as Americans today. Well, at least the freedoms we still have. I wouldn’t doubt that our Founding Fathers are probably rolling in their graves, seeing the craziness that goes on today in our government…. Let […]

The B52 is May 17th Drink of the Day!!

This is a layered cocktail; those of us in the business know as a pousse cafe. You first will put in the most dense, or heaviest liquor, then go from there until your final ingredient will be the lightest, or least dense. If you do this correctly, and slowly, your finished drink will be layered […]

This drink is not for the faint-hearted, just to warn you. If you are into a spicy, cinnamon and citrus flavored drink, then this is for you. However, even if you are, one should be enough to satisfy any craving due to its richness and its multitudes of flavor. Just be ready for something quite […]

This cocktail won a competition being held by Booth’s Gin back in 1933. Arthur Tarling, a British bartender, came up with this very smooth and enjoyable gin cocktail. Grand Marnier, being another key ingredient in this drink, has taken this drink in to promote their liqueur. I attempted to do a little modernization to this […]
