Today's offering is by no means a health drink. Consider it a splurge and a somewhat off-beat way to enjoy bourbon - one of our featured ingredients for this month's Thirsty Thursday's Challenge. Adult milkshakes seem to be on the rise. I've come (read full article)
If you read last week's post, then you already know the ingredients for this month's Thirsty Thursdays Challenge ... Bourbon and Cucumbers. The good news is that I'm not requiring you to pair them together! Since we have two ingredients, you are fr (read full article)

Earlier this week, the husband and I took part in a wonderful class at the Astor Center. It was an evening devoted to learning about botanical spirits, conducted by master mixologists James Moreland and Jonathan Pogash. And the best part? It was a (read full article)

Physically, I may be back in New York; mentally, I'm still in the Caribbean. In fact, I'm not entirely sure why we thought it was a good idea to come home. It may have had something to do with a husband needing his wife and a job requiring my prese (read full article)
Coming up with an Irish themed cocktail for the week has thrown me for a loop. The grim prospect of Bailey's Irish Cream, and noxiously green drinks made with creme de menthe, nearly put me off the whole idea altogether. And heaven knows you don't (read full article)

I like vodka. I've come to appreciate the fine points of a quality gin. But what I really, really like is scotch. If I'm having a drink, nine times out of ten, that drink will be a simple scotch and soda - slice of lemon, please. That said, variet (read full article)
Yeah, I know, its not a cocktail ... but I'm cold, I'm cranky, and I'm hormonal. Deal with it.Today is all about dealing with it. Dealing with stuff I don't like, stuff I don't wanna do, and people I'd rather do without. Life is like that sometime (read full article)

Some people ruminate, others procrastinate, me? I like to mull. And by mull, of course, I mean wine.Called Gluhwein in Germany, or Glogg in Norway, the tradition of adding spices, and often honey, to wine dates back for centuries. In those days, (read full article)
