After having them at bars, Steven and I got really into making Moscow Mules at home. So much so that we even bought our own set of copper mugs (these, in the 12 oz size), which is what the drinks are traditionally served in. Because copper is expensive, copper mugs are relatively pricey, and in […]
Rosemary and Pear Cocktail
Pears are one of my favorite fruits, and they just so happen to be in season right now, so I decided to share this delicious pear cocktail. And since everything ties back to the holidays these days, I think it would make a terrific pre-dinner Thanksgiving drink. (Slightly off topic, but have you ever seen […]
Cure-All Cocktail
There’s an old saying that “What whiskey cannot cure there is no cure for.” Since this is the season for colds (I caught a lingering one a few weeks back), a combo of whiskey, lemon (lots of vitamin C!), ginger (an herbal cold remedy), and honey seems just about perfect. While I’m not sure if […]
Easy Spiked Ginger Cider
Every year people get really into pumpkin spice this-and-that, but for a fall-inspired drink, I’m way more into apple cider. This cocktail couldn’t be easier (it hardly counts as a recipe!), and if you like ginger, it’ll be right up your alley. If you’re not a fan of ginger, you can just substitute light or […]
Honey Mint Lemondrop Cocktail
Happy Friday! According to my calculations, that means it’s time for a cocktail or two. I found this one here, where it’s scaled for a big batch, and I cut it down so it works for a party of one. I also wasn’t fond of the name, so I gave it a new one. That’s […]
Cucumber Mint Gin Fizz Cocktail
Lately it’s been hot and sticky and gross around here, so a refreshing cocktail is definitely in order. I figured one featuring cucumber and mint pretty much fits the bill, so I present the Cucumber Mint Gin Fizz. Happy Friday, and bottoms up! Cucumber Mint Gin Fizz Adapted from here. 3 sprigs of mint 1 […]
Blackberry Mojito Cocktail
So far I’ve made blackberry ginger bars, sangria, and now these blackberry mojitos, and I’ve still got tons of blackberries to spare. I’m checking out a bunch of these recipes and trying to figure out what to make next, but in the meantime, I’ll be sipping on one of these refreshing cocktails.
Rhubarb Liqueur Float
Despite making a double batch of the rhubarb liqueur recipe I recently posted, it’s nearly gone. We did have help from friends at a party, but I can’t blame them entirely. For our fast alcohol consumption, I’ll partly blame credit my invention of this rhubarb liqueur float. You know how rhubarb crisp goes really well […]
Watermelon Mojito Cocktail
As it has started to feel like real summer, I’ve been craving watermelon. So I bought one the other day. But you know how on those tables for changing babies in public restrooms, they have warnings not to leave your baby unattended? Watermelons should come with those. I was preparing to cut mine up, and […]
