When I was in college my father introduced me to the delicious beauty of a gin and tonic, and it quickly became my go-to cocktail, especially in the heat of summer. I’d come home from a long day working my summer internship and we’d convene on the back deck with a cocktail each, feet propped up …
Cocktail recipes
As a rule I like to keep a well stocked bar at our house at all times for a few different reasons. The primary of those reasons, far and away, is because I really love being able to mix a guest’s drink of choice on a whim. Generally speaking if you keep a good array …
I don’t share too many whiskey cocktail recipes around these parts, because I think whiskey is a fairly polarizing spirit. That said, we always keep our bar stocked with whiskey because Bob and I both enjoy a good whiskey cocktail from time to time. So today, for all of you whiskey lovers or soon-to-be whiskey fans, …
A few weeks ago, Bob and I were able to sneak off for a little getaway in Lake Placid while the baby had a weekend play date at Grandma and Papa’s house. (Yes, it was my first time leaving her. Yes, it was both difficult and amazing. So there’s that.) If you aren’t familiar with Lake Placid, …
Just in time for the end of the work week, Samantha and Chanda of Zest It Up are sharing the perfect cocktail recipe to kick off weekend happy hour. (Also, do you remember these chocolate covered vodka cherries they shared before? Yum!) We’re talking a fresh, citrusy, Meyer lemon inspired drink they’ve dubbed the lemon thyme blueberry …
I’ve always been a big fan of blueberries but after my inaugural trip to Maine and my first taste of wild blueberries a few years back, it was all over for me. I am now certifiably outright obsessed with blueberries. In pies, cobblers, ice cream and even cocktails. Or maybe especially cocktails! Something about fresh …
It’s the time of year when honestly all I want to do is hoard all the fresh fruit I can get my hands on. It’s a real thing. It happens to those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line who know our days of fresh produce are limited and will all too soon …
My pick for this week’s cocktail is this crazy delicious looking rhubarb raspberry fizz over at Golubka, dreamed up by Sarah of The Vanilla Bean Blog. Made with fresh berries, rhubarb and vanilla bean it’d be equally as tasty as an alcohol-free refreshment as it would be with a liberal splash of bourbon. I love this …
Lately it seems I’ve got a bit of an obsession with all things citrus. At least when it comes to cocktails! And it appears, I’m not the only one. From a classic French 75 jazzed up with blood orange to sangria loaded with grapefruit and strawberries, citrusy cocktails are popping up just about everywhere these …
I’m excited to share this cocktail recipe with you today because it’s one of my absolute favorites! While simple, it’s classic, crisp and refreshing. Oh, and utterly delicious. Before we dive into the recipe, first a little background, because I quite enjoy cocktails and conversation with friends. The summer of my senior year of college, …
Let’s talk about the perfect poolside drink shall we? I’m pretty sure it’s this boozy watermelon lemonade infused with rosemary. Mix it up with a really good gin (my favorite is Hendricks) or substitute your favorite vodka if you’re not much into gin. Serve it up in some awesome mason jar glasses and tie a …
Apparently it’s a lemony kind of day around here! Which, I suppose I like that just fine considering the smell of fresh lemons just makes me smile. Right now though, we’re talking lemony cocktails. Specifically, this preserved lemon cocktail from Eat Boutique which I recently had to try and fell head over heels for. It’s …
