Here’s a fruity and refreshing whisky cocktail for you that will put you in the right mood. A perfect, colorful, drink that fits in well with the changing of the leaves.

Drink of the Day: Twiisted Irish Coffee

October 7, 2015 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

The change from warm to cold temperatures are very obvious here in the Midwest. Our pools close for the upcoming season, we winterize our cars for the brutal weather ahead, a new football season gets underway, etc. I also know because I am asked to put together some coffee cocktails for the winter menu. Here […]

Drink of the Day: Tootsie Roll Cocktail

How can you go wrong with a cocktail that tastes like candy? Pretty scary if you ask me; imbibing on a beverage that reminds you of something you probably had too much of when you were a wee little lad or lass. Just remember, my legally of age friends - You are drinking something that […]

Happy Friday! Finally, another week done and it’s time to enjoy the reason why you work so hard in the first place. Hopefully, you will have enough time to treat yourself to one of these great gin cocktails while doing so. A spinoff from the classic Alexander Cocktail, this one adds the flavor of coffee […]

Wow, October is here! Unbelievable how fast this year is going. I woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed due to the comfort of the temperature and lack of humidity. A perfect autumn day for us here in the Midwest. This cocktail will make a nice nightcap tonight, so I can […]

Happy National Coffee Day, everyone! That being said, you are probably wondering why I am not introducing a coffee drink to recognize this holiday. Well, honestly, I have already given you two coffee cocktails this past week: The Abbey Road and Keoke Coffee. These two cocktails would work great for an after-dinner treat, and you […]

Drink of the Day: Stiletto

September 28, 2015 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

I love the taste of a good bourbon. Especially over a ice and with a twist. The twist tends to round out the aroma and flavor of this fine American spirit. But, sometimes I need to change it up a bit; not to hide too much of the flavor of my favorite liquor, but to […]

Drink of the Day: Keoke Coffee

Now that we are getting into the cooler temperatures, I want to share my favorite coffee drink of all time: the Keoke Coffee. The slight bite of brandy to warm you from the inside out, along with the sweetness of Kahlua and Creme de Cacao gives you a well-rounded treat to enjoy on those cool […]

The weekend is just about to begin! Here in the MidWest, we are supposed to have a spectacular weekend. Warm days and a chill in the evening. A perfect night for a bonfire and some drinks with friends. Here’s a nice tequila based cream beverage that should keep you from the chill of the night. […]

Drink of the Day: Abbey Road Coffee

Mmmm, coffee sounds refreshing on a cool and autumn evening. Adding a little life to it sounds even better. The cocktail I am introducing today can be made two ways: First, in the video, I add equal parts of Amaretto, Kahlua, and Chambord in the Irish coffee mug, then pour in the coffee. Or, the […]
