June 2, 2013 (Day 24) – The Real Georgia Mint Julep Another tipple pulled from the genius mind of America’s first celebrity mixologist, Professor Jerry Thomas. The first thing many people notice about this is that, according to Thomas, a real Mint Julep is made with Cognac as opposed to bourbon. Take 1 tea-spoonful of […]
So, two weeks with the Conjure Cognac. How are we feeling about it? Overall, we like it. There are some caveats that we offer up, however. If you are an experienced cognac drinker this isn’t for you. It has a lighter, brighter flavor than some of the other cognacs that we’ve sampled in the past. […]
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! It truly is a wondrous day, where we celebrate our nation’s independence by blowing up a small part of it. Alas, not so here at Cocktails, 365 headquarters. Because of an ongoing drought and the increased likelihood of wildfires, there’s no fireworks for us here. Despite that, however, it doesn’t mean you can’t have […]
Crocodile on my feet. Fox fur on my back. Bow tie around my neck. That’s why they call me the gansta mac in the Cadillac. I know we’ve stuck with the Ludacris songs (as this is his cognac) but we couldn’t help but think of this song once we put together this delicious cocktail. 2 […]
As a general rule of thumb we try to create our own unique cocktails, or at least adjust from recipes we find in books and across the interwebs to better fit our own tastes. However, every once in a while we decide to go ahead and simply make a recipe straight from the liquor’s website. […]
What do you do when mixing with cognac? Do you focus on its wine-like qualities and let it take center stage? Do you take it as a base ingredient similar to whiskey? We’re actually kind of fond of using cognac and brandy in a whiskey-like function. We show that in tonight’s cocktail, which is a Manhattan-based […]
Much like tequila these past two weeks, cognac didn’t get much of a chance to shine during the past year’s worth of budget liquors. There’s actually a very good reason for that: most good cognacs aren’t going to fall within the budget booze range. Often considered “Ultra Premium” cognac is the sipping drink of the […]
Good afternoon folks; glad to be back on the scene with Cocktails, 365. It’s been a long time since we’ve been on this site as a writer, but things have been busy in the DrinkxXx On Me world. Our newest endeavor is that we are working with a liqueur called Xanté. Xanté is a premium […]
Welcome to the first edition of the brand-new Cocktails, 365! This past year we decided that we would help your pocket-book by running down the best buys that are easiest on your wallet. However, there are people out there that like the prestige that comes with a top-shelf liquor. The problem becomes when people really […]
October 16, 2011 (Day 201) — Junk of the Heart The Kooks have a (relatively) new song out that continues to get hooked in my mind, much like their other songs. This drink takes it’s name from their new single, because in my mind both have a distinctly fall feeling to them. This is a […]
