I stumbled onto this really excellent margarita recipe completely by accident. I was actually trying to recreate a recipe I found online because I was having guests over, but in my rush, I goofed the proportions. My guests exclaimed that they really liked the cocktail and I was surprised at how well it turned out.... Continue Reading →
While this recipe is for a drink one might imbibe during the Kentucky Derby (like the famous Mint Julep), it is also confusingly called a "Derby.” In this case, the Derby is a specific cocktail that is less popular due to some bad recipes for it out there.

I love beer as much as the next guy and I'm sure I'll have a couple of beers myself during the game, but it's nice to mix things as well.

On Saturday night, my friend "Double Down" and his girlfriend, Marisela, had a housewarming party to celebrate the purchase of their new condo. They provided us with some great food and drink with a lot of Mexican flair even though it was President's Day weekend. We ate marinated pulled pork soft tacos, chips with fresh... Continue Reading →
After looking around at many of the great cocktail and mixology sites online, I started to get a little self-conscious about posting my own drink recipes. When I decided to make this drink, I didn't want to just re-hash seasonal Apple Cider cocktails. Instead, I wanted to try something original. I have no idea if... Continue Reading →
