There's 365 days in a year, and a cocktail for each one.
May 16, 2013 (Day 7) – Gin Daisy It’s official. Call the morality police. We’re in love with Jerry Thomas. Or at least his book. We’ve never met the man, seeing as we are drastically short on our TARDIS supply. Gin Daisy 3 or 4 dashes of Orgeat, or gum syrup 3 dashes of Maraschino […]
May 12, 2013 (Day 4) – Gin Crusta Every time Mother’s Day comes around we mull over whether or not we’ll do a special cocktail. It’s not because we don’t love our mothers. In fact, my wife and I are both exceedingly fond of our own mothers and grandmothers. They’ve been confidants, supporters, and friends […]
May 9, 2013 (Day 1) – Colonial As mentioned in the post before this one, we are taking the time to explore deep into the history of classic cocktails and to take a look at how these roots have grown into the multi-billion dollar business we know today. This idea has marinated in our minds […]
So, we were legitimately fascinated when we first came across information about The Botanist. You see, it was using terminology that we have more often come to associate with scotches more than gins. Which stands to reason, actually, at The Botanist comes from the Bruichladdich distillery along the Rhinns in Islay. Scotch is their bread and butter. In fact, their scotch […]
Gin and Campari go together like cigars and scotch. The multi-layered complexity of the two liquors form together to put layer upon layer of flavor. It’s what forms the basis of the world-famous Negroni. However, there is another old-school cocktail that takes the traditional mixture and adds even more complexity. The Lucien Gaudin is a […]
So, the other day’s cocktail featured St. Germain rather prominently. We’re continuing to use this versatile liqueur with today’s drink as well. Much like the Orange Burst, this cocktail comes from the mad geniuses at Hendrick’s. 1.5 oz Hendrick’s Gin .5 oz St. Germain 1 oz apple juice ginger ale tall cucumber slice Build the […]
For today’s cocktail, we’re going to dig back into our archives to revisit one of our favorite fancy summer drinks. About two years ago, we talked about the French Gimlet, a play on the traditional Gimlet that was starting to find its way back into popularity after being relegated to the dusty back shelves of […]
The true history of the Martini is shrouded in mystery, which truthfully only seems fitting. After all, isn’t it the mystery of it all that draws the thoughts back towards the quality of the creation as opposed to the origin? After all, no one is entirely sure when and where the wheel was invented. We can just […]
Back in 2003, the Wall Street Journal declared Hendrick’s Gin the best gin in the world. Yeah, sure, it’s nice to have that accolade from the WSJ. However, they haven’t received that unique honor from Cocktails, 365 have we?!? Well, now we have. We are telling you now. Hendrick’s Gin is the best gin the world. […]
January 1, 2012 (Day 278) — New Years Day It’s a brand new year! Full of promises, bright and shining. Also, full of lots of new boozes to try to experiment with. We want to give a very sincere “Thank You” to everyone who has supported Cocktails, 365 over the past two years. We’re looking […]
