Purple Rose of the Desert Sage


Back on June 14, the cocktail world celebrated National Bourbon Day. We celebrated, too, but perhaps a bit too much.

Lavender Vodka Tonic


The lavender dominates the drink, but is prevented from being overly sweet by the tonic. While sipping, the sage will give you just a little bit more savory from all the sweetness from the lavender syrup.

Blueberry Basil Lemonade Splash


The Blueberry Basil Lemonade splash simply takes the flavors already present in the rum and uses fresh juices and fruits to ratchet them up to 11.

Silken Negligee


We’ve moved on from the Epic Vodka Original to the Epic Vodka Cherry, now. 2.5 oz Epic Vodka Cherry 2 dashes Bourbon Vanilla Extract 1 dash orange bitters Fever-Tree Tonic Water to top Combine all the ingredients in a rocks glass filled with ice and stir well. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

French Romance


We’re continuing this week with our series of Valentine’s Day cocktails using Epic Vodka Original and Epic Vodka Cherry. Yesterday we presented the One Shade of Grey – a deeply complex tea martini. Today we’re adding some complexity, with a cocktail that’s a bit of a misnomer. You see, while absinthe is traditionally associated with […]

One Shade of Grey

Crouching Squirrel


So there’s one more show in the books since Cocktails, 365 began as volunteer bar manager for Imbibe! at the Depot Theater Company. During that time we’ve been thrilled to help expand the repertoire of western Kansas theater goers. Our first cocktail behind the bar was The Chanteuse, which we featured several months ago on these very […]

ORIGINAL — Sarsaparilla


August 24, 2011 (Day 148) — Sarsaparilla When I was a kid growing up in Dodge City, Kansas, one of the “once-a-year” field trips we would always take in grade school was to Boot Hill — the local western museum. Boot Hill is often considered the “crown jewel” of Dodge City tourism. For a kid […]
