Purely Delicious

December 13, 2011 (Day 259) — Purely Delicious Creme de menthe, you cagey wench. You’re the menthol cigarette of the booze world. 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 […]
Dirty Kermit

October 28, 2011 (Day 213) — Dirty Kermit One of the greatest pastimes of the internet is destroying childhood memories. In many ways, actually. Usually, through something sexual. There’s even for a rule for it. Rule 34. Don’t Google it if you have any sort of self-respect or love of your childhood memories. However, that […]
Garbo Cocktail

January 27, 2011 (Day 362) — Garbo Cocktail Greta Garbo was a hottie. A classical hottie. She was originally a silent film star, but was one of the few who made the switch over to talkies. And the cocktail that’s named after her seems bizarre and I always enjoy challenges. Garbo Cocktail 1 oz brandy 1 […]

So, let’s play around with that forumla and create something unique for the holidays. Holiday Hopper 1 oz Midori melon […]
Those eyes… like a doll’s eyes…

April 1, 2010 (Day 61) — The Cricket First, I apologize for taking a break from my Easter/spring themed cocktails. But, I just couldn’t resist finding some sort of “prank” cocktail for April Fool’s Day. If you’re going to be entertaining people with your drinks, might as well make them wretch when the time calls […]
Emerald

March 1, 2010 (Day 30) — Emerald I’ve got cooking duty tonight, so it’s short! Literally! Simple, too. 2 oz green creme de menthe Top with champagne It’s pretty and it’s taste is… odd. It’s not horrifying, but it’s not drop-dead awesome, either. Might be good for St. Patty’s Day! Have a great night everyone!
Midnight Snowstorm

February 06, 2010 (Day 7) — Midnight Snowstorm Sometimes, complexity is the enemy of the cocktail. If you have too many flavors lumped into one glass, you could face a confused boozehound. For example: Should I be focusing on the fruitiness of the gin? Or the overpowering taste of the syrup? Why is that muddled raspberry drowning […]
