It’s spring here in the United States, leading us to summer we figured we’d open up with a good Mojito episode. We’re exploring different styles of rum, new brands and muddling up a storm of chaos. If you’re looking to make some classic Mojito’s, this is the episode for you. Oh, and we talk a [...]
The Dark and Stormy cocktail is a simple yet tastey summer treat with a touch of lime juice mingling with some Gosling’s Black Seal Rum (or Dark Rum if you can’t find Goslings) topped with ginger beer. If you dig the ginger flavors and a slight spicy taste, this drink is a must try. I [...]
This pousse-cafe shooter is a beautiful layer between Amaretto, Creme de Cacao and Bailey’s Irish Cream. The Creme de Cacao sinks down below the Amaretto and we float Bailey’s on top. A sweet little shooter with a nice explosive burn near the finish. You support us by supporting our sponsors, not to mention they’ve got [...]
We’re expanding our knowledge to the next level with MixDrinkipedia.com.

On a warm day, there is nothing better than a nice classic Mojito. The Mojito is probably one of the most popular drinks in the United States right now. Originally, we created two mojito’s with pre-made kits, but this episode we’re doing it old school: homemade. The classic homemade Mojito has a great history, great [...]
Last night was time to clean out the wine fridge of old wines that probably shouldn’t have aged. After a night of decanting in the bottle, we’ve cracked it open for a taste. This is a 1997 Mystic Cliffs California Cabernet Sauvignon that seems to have aged fairly well since I bought it in 1999, [...]
We’re on a pousse-cafe kick and we’re kicking it into high gear with the Blue Eyed Blonde recipe. This is a delightful little sandwich of a shooter. It mimics the life of the peanut butter sandwich with slices of banana’s mixed in, that’s the best way to describe it. This marks the first use of [...]
The Peartini is a delicately sweet cocktail with light and refreshing pear flavors utilizing Grey Goose La Poire vodka with a touch of Disaronno Originale Amaretto. While the cocktail is slightly sweet it’s not overbearingly so, with great pear after tastes and a lovely garnish. Impossible to refuse. Please checkout our sponsors, including Fantinel Suprema [...]
Double Distilled in Jalisco Mexico, Dos Lunas Tequila offers three varieties of tequila: Silver, Reposado and Añejo. We’ve done the unaged and the oldest age, now it’s time to get a taste of the middle brother: Reposado. This Reposado will cost roughly $55, still less than that of a few Silver competitors of less quality. [...]
Mixing the beautiful blue sky’s of Hawaii with the tastes of rum, curacao, coconut and pineapple. This is a cocktail made for drinking, fairly thick, refreshing and tasty. Not to mention, blue! The Blue Hawaiian was, no doubt, going to be one of our favorites as it contains all the ingredients to make a great [...]
