If you are a fan of scotch, and want to do a little more than the typical scotch on the rocks today, I have a cocktail I think you will enjoy. Not too much is added to override the back flavor of the spirit; just enough to add some flavor and, at the same time, […]

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 […]

Sometimes it takes several ingredients to get what you are looking for. With this cocktail, I think the concept here was to throw everything but the kitchen sink in and see what flavor they came up with. I was pleasantly surprised by the results when I tried this for the first time. With this, they […]
