August 14, 2013 (Day 97) – Saratoga Brace Up We’re spending some time with the Professor this evening for a drink that’s just a little bit shocking when you take a close look at the ingredients. The Saratoga Brace Up. Take 1 table-spoonful of fine white sugar. 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. 4 dashes of […]
January 25, 2012 (Day 302) — Cantina So, you’ve decided that you haven’t been doing a great job keeping with your resolutions to take care of yourself? Well, even if you’re going to keep drinking, you an at least put some stuff in your drink that’s good for you. 2 oz Dickel Cascade Hollow 2 oz Italian […]
December 5, 2011 (Day 251) — Haymarket Today is Repeal Day. On this day in 1933, the United States government finally decided that Prohibition, what some had called the “Nobel Experiment” was a failure. The streets were paved with marinated olives and ran clear with gin. Finally, you were able to drink legally again, not […]
September 17, 2011 (Day 172) — Creamy Screwdriver I hate blenders in the bar. I’ve said it before. I will probably always continue to say it. The grinding, harsh cacophony of grinding bits and gears completely kills the relaxed, chummy atmosphere that the bar should foster. That being said, however, there are some killer cocktails […]
June 30, 2011 (Day 93) — Knickerbein Cocktail What the hell is Knickerbein? A Knickebein is German for “crooked leg.” Perhaps this is an Anglicization bastardization of that word. Damned if we know. It’s this drink. Knickerbein Cocktail 3/4 oz Orange Curacao liqueur 3/4 oz maraschino liqueur 3/4 oz VS cognac 1 oz eggs Serve […]
December 21, 2010 (Day 325) — Absinthe Suissesse Okay, we’re heading down south once again. Say you’re hosting a Christmas brunch. Sure, you have your standard cocktail fare such as the Mimosa and the Bellini. But what if someone wants something really special? Something that they’re probably not going to get going to Aunt Gertrude’s […]
December 6, 2010 (Day 310) — Banana Eggnog Need something non-alcoholic for your little ones (or non-drinking stodgy-ass relatives)? Well not to fret, as the crack team here at Cocktails, 365 (Mark and Jenn), have put our heads together to create a nice little eggnog recipe that is good for the kids and can be […]
December 3, 2010 (Day 307) — Kahlua Toreador Tonight we hit the recent opening of the theater’s art gallery. One of Jenn and I’s close friends had a piece debuting in the display, which coincided with opening night of the Christmas show. Seemed like a good time to get out of the house and be […]
November 27, 2010 (Day 301) — Eggnog It’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which means that Jenn and I are busting out the decorations to gussy up the house for Christmas! That also means I was hanging off of a ladder putting up the lights on the house and laying the lights over the bushes. And […]
September 24, 2010 (Day 237) — Golden Fizz I recently read an article about using raw eggs in cocktails, so it inspired me to make another fizz for this Friday night. In the past I’ve only used egg white, so when Jenn pulled out the recipe for a Golden Fizz, I was pleased. After all, […]
