August 21, 2013 (Day 104) – Negroni I was legitimately surprised, digging through the archives of Cocktails, 365, to discover that we hadn’t covered the traditional Negroni. This drink has one of the best flavor-complexity-to-mixing-difficulty ratios you’ll find the classic cocktail world. It’s one of the easiest drinks to make, and also one that’s almost […]
So, we here at Cocktails, 365 are often wary of recommending expensive liqueurs. They don’t often take center stage of the cocktail, and you can get away with some really solid liqueurs that aren’t too ridicolous. As such, you know you can always rely on us for our recommendation on the higher-end liqueurs and bitters. We say, […]
Okay, so at the beginning of last week, we talked about the opening of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. And, if we recall correctly, we also mentioned creating a cocktail for that show. And so we did! We have an opening night party coming up next week when the show opens, and today’s cocktail will be […]
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 […]
There is an outstanding french song that was popular back in the hey day of the 1950s called “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” which translates to “No, I don’t regret anything.” The whole song oozes class, so we figured we needed to create a cocktail that was equally class.. oozy… Yeah… So. Right. Je Ne […]

You can straddle that delicate line between a cocktail that is too heavy for the hot temperatures but too light for the chill winds that sweep in from the north. […]
As we head into the end of September, that also means we approach the opening of another show at the local live theater, Depot Theater Company. This particular production of The Mousetrap is being directed by my wife and Cocktails, 365 executive editor, Jenn. That means that I’m in charge of the cocktail menu for […]
As we near the amateur hockey season (which is the highlight, as the NHL appears to be on its way to another lockout) you’ll forgive us if our minds turn to the ice and all that comes with the best sport on ice. Or, if you ask us, it’s more the best sport ever. So, […]
April 15, 2011 (Day 19) — Cardinale Tonight Jenn and I are making some veal scallopini in a mushroom cream sauce with some chocolate gelato for dessert. It only seems to make sense that we’d have a matching cocktail to go with the delicious meal. Tonight we’re featuring the Cardinale, a classic Italian cocktail using […]
April 3, 2011 (Day 7) — Old Pal Everyone’s got one. That guy who always comes around just to hang out. No, not Jerry. That guy is kind of a douche. Nope, we’re talking about the good kind of guy. You know. An old pal. Old Pal 1 oz rye whiskey 3/4 oz dry vermouth […]
