We’ve never met the elusive Beach Bum Bob, but hear he’s a nice guy. Each portion is equally controlled to exactly 1 oz and they mix into a nice coffee alternative or supplement. I’d suggest this as an after-dinner drink rather than something to sip after a hot day of mowing the lawn, but equally [...]
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve had a chance to review a wine, I’ve had so many hard liquors to review. However, as a treat to myself I opened a bottle of Terrazas de Los Andes, a 2006 Malbec. I received this wine from my mother-in-law for my Birthday because she heard it [...]
I’m tackling the “sexy” tequila known as Caramba. They call themselves “The Worlds Sexiest Tequila” and that made me worry a bit, initially, as a tequila taster. My main fear with the marketing statement is that they’re selling the tequila with woman’s bodies covered in glitz and glamor. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind [...]
The Aloe Vera is a play off a classic melon ball meets midori sour with a twist of crazy. The flavors play well together and it’s unique enough to be a stand-alone cocktail. We’re using Haamonii Smooth Shochu but you can substitute any citrus vodka to which you have access, or checkout Haamonii Lemon at [...]
This is a wonderful backyard relaxation beverage, one of the best drinks I believe I’ve had the opportunity to create on the show. The Pomegranate Açaí Lemonade is a simple creation that brings a lot of nice fresh flavors and new experiences with the açaí juices.
For those that haven’t tried VeeV Açaí Spirit, I urge [...]
If you’re a bourbon whiskey fan you may want to try something slightly different than the usual. We all get in a habit of drinking what we know but Jim Beam’s recently introduced something new that we need to familiarize yourself with: Red Stag Cherry Bourbon.
Red Stag has been available since June of 2009 and [...]
St Petersburg Vodka has created a recipe known as the Hermitage. It should become something of a classic as it has all the properties to a historical drink: taste, simplicity and elegance. You’ll probably want to use your favorite champagne, if you have one, to really impress yourself with the tastes. However, the champagne doesn’t [...]
The Bazooka Joe shooter is another party drink, serve it at parties and see what people think. It’s not extremely dangerous (alcohol-wise) but it’s a fun tasting game. Although it’s blue it will give you the sensation of Bazooka Joe bubble gum on the back-end of the palate as the drink finishes…for most people at [...]
I’ve done some research on absinthe and tried to gather some information to share with the community to explain away the fears of the spirit. While some may dislike the taste all together, since it’s heavy in that anise/fennel flavoring, others have continually asked me “what is absinthe?” or commented on its legality.
I’ve had folks [...]
Before getting into the review, you’ll want to learn a new term: Açaí. It is pronounced ah-SIGH-ee and is an exotic Brazilian fruit which reminds me of the look and feel of a blueberry. However, the exotic taste is highly appealing because it is so unusual and different. Distill the açaí down and you’ve got [...]
