Happy Hump Day! Lately, when introducing whisk(e)y to a cocktail, I have been giving you some examples of some quite sweet drinks. Today, I would like to introduce you to one that dates back to the turn of the 20th Century (1916). This is one you may want to remember for next month, when […]

Here’s a great aperitif for you for the coming holiday weekend. It uses an ingredient that’s been used since the colonial era of the United States. Applejack is a great ingredient, one you rarely see in today’s cocktails. You will question why once you taste this drink. A perfect compliment to the main act […]

Drink of the Day: The Belize

I had the opportunity to try out a brand of rum that compliments this cocktail very well. Tiburon Rum is made from sugar cane molasses, then aged for no less than four years in Kentucky Oak bourbon barrels, this has a nice boldness that you can love as a rum drinker with it’s rum backbone, and appreciate […]

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 […]

Wow, the first day of August already! Where is this year going?! I never believed my parents when they said the older I get the faster time would pass by. It seems like only yesterday that I was working New Year’s eve pouring hundreds of glasses of champagne to toast in 2014. And here we […]

The sense of smell plays an important role with this cocktail. Gin is the prominent element here, with the herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse giving it its aromatic character. The sweet vermouth acts as the perfect link to bring everything together. Want some salt with your beverage? How about a little more flavor by adding some […]

A subtle, yet a refreshing blend that will surprise you with everything it has to offer. I was quite pleased and surprised on how […]

When this drink was printed in the Savoy Cocktail Book back in the 1930’s, this type of cocktail was quite common; citrus and vermouth complimenting the base liquor which, in this case, is gin. The Winter of 2013/2014 will go down in the history books as one of the worst in written history. Couldn’t think […]
