things to do today: make eggnog
Things to do today: buy Christmas gifts for kids’ coaches & teachers, buy packaging tape and boxes, call eye doctor, clean out email in box, make eggnog. Top priority: make eggnog.
When I read Brandon Eats‘ message to make your eggnog now… [more] or it is too late, I knew I had to put it on top of my ‘to-do list.’ It takes a minimum of three weeks for the
Mummy Juice
Mummy Juice is one of my favorite new drinks. I am making it for Halloween—though it will definitely outlast this holiday. Perfect for Thanksgiving in fact. The color, the spiciness of the ginger, the citrus notes lent by fresh oranges. This one is a keeper.
When I have dinner parties, I am always excited to offer a special drink before dinner. In fact, some of my friends have come to… [more]
it's that BOOtiful time of year again.
It is that time of year again, and I don’t mean the time for Christmas songs or raking leaves, not the time that the mittens come out or the hot chocolate is stocked. For me, this time of year has quite another flirtatiously nostalgic meaning: Halloween Cocktails.
It is this enchanting time of year when I don the imaginary witches’ hat (okay, maybe not so imaginary, since I do own… [more]
Snobby Iced Coffee
I do love beverages. Even in college when I would sit to study, I would surround myself with beverage options. I would always have a water and a hot tea or coffee. Perhaps a hot chocolate or apple cider. In those good ole days I would make my own latte at home when diving out the door to the next class. And it wasn’t just any latte; it was the… [more]
Silky Pear Cocktail
My sons and I were in a store the other day, one full of kitchen and household wares. We were searching for a birthday gift for their grandmother. One of my boys decided he wanted to spend some of his own money to pick and purchase a gift.
We browsed. There were bread baskets and kitchen towels, lemon zesters and delicate vases. He was especially enamored with a salt and… [more]
Reminiscent Rumminess.
I like to use Google to search for really important things, for example: Long Island Iced Tea, Electric Iced Tea, Bahama Mamas, Rum Runner drinks. Today, when I sat down at my computer those were the screens that popped up before me.
We took a sneak vacation a few weeks ago, surprising our kids day-of that we were taking them to Disneyland. We had been so restless and so craving… [more]
Cocotini—as in coconut.
I think it sounds silly too, but I swear cocotini is the new appletini. Appletinis are so 3 years ago; cocotinis are showing up on menus all around town.
Maybe this is because it has been a grey, long, wet winter and we need a drink with the ability to transport us to a sandy, tropical paradise. In any event, this chilled coconut beverage served in a martini glass unanimously… [more]
Amaretto Sweet, Amaretto Sour
Amaretto is nowhere near sour, on the contrary it is very sweet. Not even the official drink Amaretto Sour is sour enough for me. I was out to dinner with my husband last weekend and he ordered an Amaretto Sour, and within the glass walls of this drink were Amaretto soaked blueberries—which gave one pause. Well, at least it gave me pause. It was good: and I knew I wanted… [more]
Christmas Kazi
Another holiday, another charming cocktail. I consider it my duty to commemorate the season with a signature drink, my pleasure to add a festive ‘toast’ to Mixology Monday… [more]
, and certainly my excuse to try some yummy new mixers. Equally important is my [self-appointed] job of providing my extended family with a novelty cocktail to usher in another year of holiday celebrating. This year may I present: the Christmas Kazi.Liquefied Ghost
Because it is Halloween, my ‘drink’ category… [more]
is growing. Holidays are my excuse to play with new recipes, new menus and fun, new drinks. My friends and family have come to expect new funky concoctions from my kitchen, and I love the excuse to put on my mixologist hat.I will say you have to drink this one quicker or the ‘ghost’ really does start to look gross (cream behaving
