Before I get into this drink, I need to say something that many in my occupation have seemed to have forgotten. So, for me, I think it’s very important to say. As time goes by and a drink gets to be several generations old, there are things that change on how the drink is made. […]

I get asked, on occasion, what drinks can be made with Galliano. This liqueur, if done correctly, can go into an assortment of drinks. It tends to build on any flavor by enhancing some of the notes of the other ingredients if used sparingly. Too much will override what you are trying to build from. […]

This drink is kind of an oddity because the main ingredient is Dry Vermouth. Not too often will you see this being the center piece to any cocktail. But, with the brandy being the secondary, and the other ingredients included, it works out nicely. I need to warn you that this cocktail is not for […]

Nothing like the taste of citrus when the weather starts to heat up. Blending in the flavor of melon doesn’t hurt; makes for a great combination of tropical flavors. Plus, to bring this to euphoric levels, the color of this drink is very quenching to go along with its flavor. Named after one of natures […]

This is a hairy naval cocktail with less orange juice and put into a cocktail glass chilled. What a great idea! That’s why it has become my selection for the drink of the day. Less orange juice gives you the opportunity to enjoy every ingredient in this drink, something I believe all cocktails outta be. […]

This is a vodka martini, replacing the Dry Vermouth with a generous portion of Creme de Cacao to give it a chocolatey edge. A perfect sipper for a get-together. Plus, it’s fun to call for it at a bar. Another nice thing about this is that you know you’ve had enough when you can no […]
