The Femme Fatale
This drink is just like my favorite women, strong, beautiful and delicious! It’ll also knock you on your ass if you aren’t careful! What better way to surprise your valentine than with this gorgeous and equally delicious cocktail. The name is perfect because the St Germaine and the rose water give it an incredibly unique…
Blueberry Lime Gin Smash
What do you do when the country has clearly lost its marbles and reality TV rich guy is being sworn in as your new loud-mouthed tweeter in chief? You make cocktails of course! Because this (much like the next four years) will need to be handled with libations, humor and a whole lot of moral…
Orange Vanilla Rum Punch
Lawd… it’s been a week! TGIF n’ shit. Is it Miller time??? Ok… we can do better than Miller. I mean, High Life IS the champagne of beers but I digress. I have no plans tonight. It’s gonna be a low key night. The Rock Star is traveling and the boys and I are in…
The Blood of My Enemies
New Years Eve! A time for reflection, for looking forward to becoming a better version of yourself, for leaving the past behind and… SCREEEEECH to a grinding halt! Ring in the New Year drunk from the Blood of your enemies! After you’ve inserted your maniacle laugh, reel it back in and leave them haters, the…
Hot Buttered B!tch
Every year when it’s time to decorate for Christmas, I turn on the movie Elf, I gather my family and make myself a hot buttered rum. This is one of my traditions! There is something about un-boxing my cherished Christmas treasures between sips of a warm mug of spiced Christmas cheer, that really rings in…
Sparkling Spicetini
For many of us, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season. A festive, turkey fueled transition into Christmas, if you will. It’s the official marker for “I can put my tree up free from ridicule now”. The flavors of cinnamon, ginger and vanilla will be in full swing. Starbucks will replace their pumpkin spice…
The Walker
If you watch, you know that tomorrow is practically a high holiday! The Walking Dead season 7 premier is airing 6pm EST. This lucky gal right here will be attending a special screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tomorrow afternoon with my friend Saira who actually won the tickets and is letting me tag along!…
Bitches Brew
The Rockstar is a jazz lover and will be happy to see the name I chose as an homage to Miles Davis. I confess, that makes me happy as well but really… in my heart, I just wanted to say Bitches. I wanted to make a party drink for the high holiday, All Hallows’ Eve!…
Blackberry Honey Gin Crush
I know I post a lot of drinks with Bourbon… I really freaking like Bourbon. I’m also not some trick pony! I was Looking for something different last weekend and I turned to gin. St. George’s Gin to be exact! Feel free to use whatever Gin is your “go to” for this drink but the…
The St. Herbivore Cocktail
This might be the most complex and sophisticated cocktail that I have made to date. I read an article about herbaceous gins and kept thinking about one in particular called St. George. An extremely botanical gin, St. George Botanivore is made with everything but the kitchen sink! I would have an easier time listing what’s…
Honey Bourbon Lemonade
Yeah, you read that right! Honey+Bourbon+Lemon=a southern sunset on a porch swing! Ok, I haven’t actually spent time in The South (unless you count SoCal!) but this is how I would imagine it! I love bourbon, obviously, and I LOVE honey. Especially this spun raw honey that I’ve been getting lately. I could just eat…
