It is spring and I am stuck in a tropical drink grind. Every new cocktail that I think up is tropical in style. I guess I am hoping that one of these drinks takes me back to an island. Either way, today’s drink is awesome. It is heavy on pineapple and coconut like a pina [...]

Do you like Pina Coladas, well then this post is for you. This coconut/pineapple inspired drink is awesome! It is one of those drinks that can go amazingly awesome or horribly wrong and taste like suntan lotion. I experimented with a few recipes and came to one conclusion; use coconut cream and not coconut milk. [...]
As a bartender I always needed a go to drink for people that didn’t like alcohol, but wanted to get a buzz. This drink has great flavor, masks alcohol very well and comes in a bright red package. This adds the best part of drinking to the traditional non-alcoholic drink. Vodka!!

Cold brew coffee is brewed slowly and creates a nice smooth bitter-less coffee concentrate. Therefore, I wanted to create a cocktail [...]

It has been extremely hot in DC. Yesterday it was 92 in my backyard. 92 in April, you have to be kidding me. So I wanted to make yet another frozen drink. I had to choose based on the liquor I had on hand. Luckily, I had plenty of tequila. With tequila comes margaritas. I [...]

This one combines my two favorite juices, orange juice and cranberry juice. I served it straight up in a Martini glass but also enjoyed it on [...]

It has been warm and cold here in DC. Some days it is 30 and others it is 60. The other night it was 60 and I wanted to grill. Nothing goes with warm weather like cocktails and grilling. Today I am trying out a refreshing cocktail [...]
