I swear I’m not a drunk! I have great potential to be a drunk but alas, I am not. I realized right about the time I became pregnant with my oldest that I am not my best when drinking regularly. So, I stopped. I still enjoy a cocktail or two on the weekends and I’ll…

Kumquat Gin Fizz
They say we all have a twin in the world. Somewhere out there is another you going about their daily life. Well, I’ve found my twin. She lives in Salem, Massachusets and we look nothing alike. I call her my east coast twin. I met her sometime circa 1998 (ish? It gets a little fuzzy)…
The Perfect Bloody Mary
When I have a Bloody Mary, I want it to look like a salad and taste like a steak. Steak and salad, you say? Why, yes. Yes I do. This trend of food in and on the Bloody Mary is not a bad idea! I’ve seen bacon fairly commonly used in the past few years,…
Rose Petal Lemonade
Our AC unit went out the other day and we had to spend two, yes two, full days without air conditioning! *GASP* One of those days was a highly unusual mid-week day off. So, I was home in that mess and it was as hot as balls up in here! I decided that I needed…

Honey Lavender Lemontini
TGIF, B!tches! The weekend is here and it’s time to let your hair down! What better way than with a delicious cocktail? I decided to use gin for this beverage, even though I am usually a vodka girl. I thought that the honey and the lavender would be a perfect accent to the floral notes…
Chili, lime, cilantro cocktail
This cocktail was inspired by a visit to the Sriracha factory in Irwindale, Ca. My family and I toured the site and were able to see the entire process front the arrival of the chilis to the tufted t tt <a href="http://tedtterttffgddrtr trftgrryftdtzdtdegtlll”>zScott robot who packed the pallets!
