So I am getting ready to go through my first hurricane. To get into the spirit of things I decided to make a hurricane cocktail. This is a basic hurricane recipe, but made with grenadine instead of passion fruit juice. Delicious and the ingredients were easy to come by. A good thing when all of [...]

Dana and I made a trip to Costco a few days ago, and we could not leave without a giant tub of powdered lemonade mix. Knowing that there was no way we could possibly drink enough lemonade this summer to empty the tub, I started mixing cocktails. Did you know that if you substitute the [...]

I was looking through my pantry to determine what I had available for a cocktail. After a few tries I came up with the most delicious cocktail to date. I called it the Knock Out Punch. Reasoning: It was a tasty punch, contained a nice helping of alcohol and you could not taste it at [...]
The other day I was rummaging through my kitchen looking for a nice cocktail to make. I found some bourbon, apple juice and ginger ale. I don’t know about you but it sounded like a good time to me. I combined the ingredients and made a cocktail. It had a nice little zip from the [...]

Last month I got married and one of our gifts was a nespresso espresso maker. Quite honestly, one of the best money saving items in the house. I can make hot and fresh mochas, lattes and espresso shots for the fraction of the cost. Plus, it actually makes them right so they taste good. After [...]
While on vacation in the Caribbean I was bombarded with Rum Punch. The go to drink for every restaurant, day cruise, and beach waiter was Rum Punch. I had a few of them over the course of my honeymoon and I noticed that none of them tasted the same. I asked the bartender at my [...]
