Cocktails Man o' War Probably my favourite types of cocktails are ones that combine whiskey and vermouth, so when I came across this one I thought it was a nice change of pace but still really enjoyable for me. Ingredients * 60 ml bourbon whiskey * 20 ml triple sec * 20 ml sweet vermouth * 20 ml
Cocktails Dark 'n Stormy I really enjoy a good ginger beer and have been on the lookout for more ginger beer cocktails. The Dark 'n Stormy has a really nice pairing between the spicy notes of ginger beer and the sweet notes of dark rum. Most recipes you find for this drink have
Cocktails Eggnog I love eggnog, and last year around this time I tried making it myself for the first time. I use the base recipe from Jeffrey Morgenthaler's website [https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/egg-nog/] and it's by far the best eggnog I've ever had, and super easy
Cocktails Ramos Gin Fizz Doing a complete 180 from the last couple drink posts, I've gone from two very simple drinks to one of the most complicated and finicky. The Ramos Gin Fizz is worth the work though, and tastes like a super delicious gin creamsicle. I've made this drink
Cocktails Paloma Continuing with my "simple highball" theme from my last post, I'm featuring a drink that shows off a longtime favourite of mine, grapefruit soda. Ingredients * 45 ml tequila * 15 ml lime juice * Grapefruit soda * Glass: Highball * Garnish: lime wheel & salt (or Tajin) rim Instructions Rub
Cocktails BLT Cocktail As a bourbon lover, this drink is probably my favourite quick and and easy "highball" style drink. Most people probably only think of gin when talking about tonic water, but if you like the bitter taste, combining it with a favourite bourbon also works great. Ingredients * 1.5
Cocktails Painkiller A summer favourite of mine, and one that I always make several of when I'm in the mood to make a batch of cream of coconut. I prefer making this drink over its blended cousin, the Pina Colada. Ingredients * 60 ml rum (lighter or darker both work well)
Cocktails Boulevardier It was only about a year ago that I first tried Campari, but some time after that I discovered the Boulevardier, which quickly became probably my favourite drink, and probably the one I make most often after the quick and easy Old Fashioned. If you've never heard of
Cocktails Dry Martini One of (if not the most) iconic cocktails of all time. I don't drink these very often because even though I enjoy them, I'm not crazy about them. A side effect of that is I don't have dry vermouth around that often. Ingredients matter
Cocktails Clover Club The Clover Club cocktail is a drink I recently discovered for the first time on a list of summer drinks. It's quickly become one of my favourite gin drinks. Ingredients * 2 oz gin * 1/2 oz lemon juice * 1/2 oz raspberry syrup[1] * 1 egg white * Glass:
Cocktails Mojito As I start writing this, I sadly realize that it's been almost a year since my last cocktail post. I'm hoping to do them a little more frequently than that. Today I'm giving my recipe for one of my favourite classic cocktails, the Mojito.
Cocktails The Chupacabra Summer is starting, so I've been coming across a bunch of new summer cocktails lately. This is one I tried the other day and happened to really like it. It's a very unique drink in that it's both delicious but also spicy, as it
Cocktails The Smash & Grab Cocktail I'm always on the lookout for simple but delicious whisky cocktails, so when I came across a recipe for The Smash & Grab, I was excited to try it. It's a bourbon drink, which usually points to being a fall or winter drink, but the orange
