The Old Fashioned is a drink with a serious identity crisis. Classic cocktails have been rediscovered and much effort has been made to banish the influences of the 1970's. The original Old Fashioned — or dare I say the Old Fashioned Old Fashioned is a simple concoction of sugar muddled with bi...

Perhaps there is no other beverage that says Christmas and New Year's like eggnog. This decadently rich beverage is a hallmark of the holiday season and is a guilty indulgence for so many. It is certainly not for everyday drinking! The recipe we offer for eggnog is true to the classic with just a...

I dreamed up this cocktail while trying to find a counterpoint to all of the incredibly sweet Apple Martinis that are STILL found in bars today. I knew that it had to offer 'real' apple flavors and the best way that I found to do this was by using apple cider. Once I had the cider in place the tw...

The Michelada is a wildly popular drink in Latin America. If you have ever enjoyed a cool beverage in a local bar in Mexico (A bar filled with tourists sipping frozen cocktails while wearing socks with sandals doesn't count!) you have likely seen this drink up close. It is named for the bartende...

Bourbon is such a versatile spirit but all too often it is pigeonholed by bartenders and home cocktailers. Bourbon plays very well with fruit flavors and its lush, vanilla-tinged character is the ideal platform for unique spice flavors. The City Bourbon takes elements of ultra-popular “city”...

Here is another example of Old School meets modern cocktailing and spirits. There are many variations of this cocktail. Troubling is the fact that many of the recipes we uncovered are void of chocolate. Perhaps the silly perception that cocktails with a sweet element are not sophisticated or wors...

This classic cocktail is among the oldest drinks documented in English print, dating to the mid-1880s. The term Knickerbocker is an old nickname for New Yorkers of Dutch heritage, popularized by Washington Irving’s satirical 1809 book A History of New York. The exact origins of the drink are much...

Whenever winter continues and spring is just a hope we can’t help but to think of spring. This great and easy to construct punch is ideal for spring and summer brunch. We like to use a full-flavored Rosé with just a hint of sweetness. Don’t skimp on the Rosé but don’t go overboard either....

We love beer cocktails and we really love tasty, simple cocktails. The Black Velvet has just two ingredients with one of them being beer. We couldn't be happier. This classic is said to have been "invented" at the Brooke's Club in London in 1861. It's as perfect as peanut butter and chocolate an...

This cocktail is named for its most logical use as a welcoming drink or a way to start the evening as you leisurely wait for the sunset. We all know that Rum and a great orange liqueur marry beautifully and the two juices contrast each other perfectly offering a lush fruitiness while semi-tart an...

The Bellini is a very popular, and simple, cocktail that is sadly most often done poorly. Once you have had a genuine Bellini, you won't forget it. It could not be simpler with just two ingredients. Much like the food of Italy, less is more but only when quality ingredients are used. Fresh fruit...
