This is my current absolute favorite drink. I love it. During all the parties of the holidays I made giant batches of it and brought it with me everywhere. It's potent and perfectly pom-licious. I warn you though - I've seen 6' 4" men succumb to the power of these "tinis". They think it's a… Continue reading Powerful Pomtini

Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
I love throwing Halloween parties. Mostly because I get to make delicious food and give it disgusting names. Here's a round-up of all the deliciousness I made this year and the nastiness I called it. Most of these items are easy to make (and can be done ahead of time) so you won't be slaving… Continue reading Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
Lemon Drop Martini
A good lemon drop martini is a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It should have enough vodka to give it a slightly dry martini feel in your mouth, but enough juice and sweetness to be utterly refreshing. This is my version. I think it's pretty much perfect. I came up with this recipe because… Continue reading Lemon Drop Martini
Clear Cosmos
I really enjoy making drinks with my own spin on them. I also love anything I can make in a giant batch and bring to a party. I have a to-go container with a lid that I bring along with me to add a little cheer wherever I'm going. It holds almost a gallon of… Continue reading Clear Cosmos
Pirate’s Punch
There are similar versions of this drink around. Similar, but not nearly as good. You may have heard them called a Bahama Mama, Rum Runner or The Bucket. It's famous in my family as "that thing Lizzy makes that's sooooo good and totally full of alcohol". Lizzy is my baby sister Elizabeth. She's a bartender… Continue reading Pirate’s Punch

Long Island Iced Tea
I've never really understood the concept of not mixing your liquor. I hear it all the time. It goes something like this. "Oh, I can't have a Cosmo because I've been drinking Mai Tais all night. I don't want to mix my drinks." Tangent...I just realized my cosmopolitan recipe isn't posted on this blog. Horrors!… Continue reading Long Island Iced Tea
Superman
If you've been looking for a drink that will make you feel like a superhero, this is it. A drink to make you think you can leap tall buildings in a single bound (or at least lawn furniture). You'll be partying at speeds faster than a speeding bullet and do push ups to show you're… Continue reading Superman
Perfect Margarita On The Rocks
There's a tradition in my family. When someone is getting married, a certain uncle of mine brings the bar. In his Ford Explorer. I've enjoyed several "dry" weddings hanging out in the parking lot with him pouring various beverages to help the party be a little more festive. Actually, this uncle brought his mobile bar… Continue reading Perfect Margarita On The Rocks
Freckled Cosmo
I found a new offering from Ocean Spray in the juice aisle the other day and decided immediately that I needed to make a cocktail out of it. The reason I was so drawn to white cranberry & strawberry juice can only be explained by my strong resemblance to the beverage. White cranberries have a… Continue reading Freckled Cosmo
