There's 365 days in a year, and a cocktail for each one.
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 […]

Sonic, for my foreign readers, is one of the best fast food chains in the United States. Mainly because of its drink list. You have an almost unending number of flavors and mixtures to choose from (over 160,000 according to Sonic). In fact, their choices are so large, they even put a major marketing campaign around it. Not only that, for a long time the Dodge City Sonic (hometown sonic of Cocktails, 365) had the unique honor of being the busiest Sonic in the world. I’m not sure if we still hold that title, but hey, we’re eager for accolades out in this area of the United States.

I’m not really sure what that means, other than to say that the use of creme de menthe can either make or completely destroy a cocktail. It’s all in how it’s used and […]
November 3, 2011 (Day 219) — Pink Limeade We told you that the snow would be gone by today. In fact, not only is the snow gone, the temps have picked back up and are heading back into fall territory. Fall territory for western Kansas is a lot like spring and summer temps in other areas […]
April 24, 2011 (Day 27) — Bloody Harpoon Happy Easter, everyone! It’s a family tradition that Easter means new books for everyone. My parents were voracious readers, and passed that along to my brothers and I. Now I’ve passed it along to my family. In honor of the day of books, let’s celebrate… oh… let’s […]
April 10, 2011 (Day 14) — Spin Doctor I work in PR for a company that I truly enjoy working at and support its mission: Making the Planet More Productive. Yeah, I could be called a spin doctor. But when you work for a company with nothing to hide, you really don’t have to do […]
