Liquid Gold – Mulled Pineapple Cocktail
It’s no secret that I love to throw a party, and a reason for celebrating is definitely not necessary. So when my copy of Winter Cocktails arrived in the mail, my excitement level was through the roof! It’s a gorgeous book full of party-friendly recipes from the ladies over at new-to-me blog Cookin’ and Shootin’. The book […]
Green Gimlet
Sometimes I want a cocktail that’s on the savory side, but don’t quite feel up to tackling a meal-sized bloody mary. That’s where this Green Gimlet comes in. And for those wondering if that near radioactive green hue is the product of food coloring: nope! It’s alllll natural – a combination of lime juice, basil simple […]

Spiced Cider Cocktail
I don’t drink cocktails too often; I’m more of a beer and wine kind of gal. However, there’s something wonderful about being handed a beautiful, seasonally appropriate cocktail as you arrive at a dinner party or holiday gathering. And if the cocktail is strong… well now we’re really getting a party started. I don’t mean […]
