Some Fridays we just like to get stupid, we’re getting stupid today. The Graveyard Cocktail has more ingredients than it needs for the purpose but it’s just not a crazy episode unless we fill the table with spirits. From vodka, gin, tequila, scotch, bourbon, triple sec, beers, you name it this cocktail will exercise the [...]
We’re adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another “tea” style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. [...]
Midori makes a return today (but not all week) for the Green Eyes Cocktail. This cocktail brings more of a sour bite than we typically seem to be making (not on purpose). The taste is deliciously sour, it won’t tear your face off with sours but it will nip at your tender cheek loins.
Great little [...]
We’re busting out a crazy recipe for our first recipe of the week: Tokyo Tea. This cocktail has a bunch of different spirits, much like the Long Island Ice Tea, but with midori. The midori brings a good deal of sweetness to a cocktail that usually has very little.

More Apples! We’re excited to have Havana Club rum in the house, literally. This Cuban rum isn’t exactly something you can easily get in the United States, so substitute your favorite dark rum (Goslings!?) in its place if you cannot get this product.
The Candy Apple Cocktail is tasty, fruity, juice and a worthwhile cocktail for [...]
Muddled ginger, this isn’t something we’ve tried before. Initially, finding ginger at the super market was a pain in the butt, but once we found it and learned how to cut it up correctly we were able to create the Ginger Honey Rummy. This is a comical look at what you can do to create [...]
This is a overflow from our holiday week but it fits any time of the year as it’s a great potent little number known as the Axe Murderer. This cocktail has nice sweet flavors reflecting that of a tropical/tiki cocktail (with less rum) with a potent finish that reminds you that this cocktail has a [...]
The Pink “Kitty,” also goes by the recipe name Pink Pussy but we’re not exactly happy with the naming convention of the original recipe so we changed it. This is a beautifully looking cocktail which reminds us much of a margarita with a distinct citrus finish. The limón rum (Don Q in our case) hides [...]
The Cherry Tootsie Pop reflects its initial taste in the name but we’ve found it brings more of a nice midly sweet cocktail style to the table. Knowing the name, you’ll probably find the tootise pop taste in the cocktail but it’s a great stand-alone cocktail with the inclusion of Redbull.
This gives you one more [...]
Time to break into another silver rum, we’re sipping the Flor de Caña Extra Dry 4 Year. This rum, as expected, pours a crystal clear color, as clean looking as a naturally filtered water. The bottle design shows off the liquid extremely well, Flor de Caña’s bottle is perfectly clear which boasts clarity.
After pouring, the [...]
