Favola Cocktail It’s Saturday, so time to share another interesting cocktail recipe with you all. I was happy when I stumbled on this one, because it uses both limoncello and Italicus, which is a bergamot liqueur. We love the flavor of bergamot and I had given my husband a bottle of Italicus for some specialContinueContinue reading “Favola Cocktail”

Big Batch Whiskey Sours
Mason Jar of Whiskey Sours It’s Saturday so that means I’m sharing another great cocktail recipe with you. I know sometimes it seems like too much work to make an actual cocktail (at least to me it does), but there is something about drinking one that makes the night feel a little more special. IContinueContinue reading “Big Batch Whiskey Sours”
Man O’ War Cocktail
Man O’ War Cocktail Time for another Saturday Cocktail. We are moving my son into his college apartment today, so we tried to keep the cocktails within reason last night. Since we were only having one (probably), I wanted to go with a bourbon drink. I always truly feel like I’ve had a cocktail whenContinueContinue reading “Man O’ War Cocktail”
Vodka Citrus Fizz
Vodka Citrus Fizz Since we have still been having very hot summer weather here in North Carolina, I was craving a citrus based cocktail. We were out of tequila for margaritas, so my husband suggested using up some lime vodka he had. While I love a properly prepared cocktail, I also am always up forContinueContinue reading “Vodka Citrus Fizz”

We are finally home and he is healing and I can’t wait to get back toContinueContinue reading “Cantarito Tequila Cocktail”
Manhattan Cocktail
Manhattan Happy Saturday! A well made Manhattan cocktail is probably my all time favorite alcoholic drink, although an ice cold dirty martini is a close second. Since a Manhattan is so simple ingredient wise, it is important that each of the components taste really good on their own. Honestly, I didn’t like Manhattans that muchContinueContinue reading “Manhattan Cocktail”
Pomegranate Bourbon Cocktail
We are big fans of bourbon (and most other alcohol :)) and a classic Manhattan is one of our most frequently made drinks. I’m always looking for a new twist on a bourbon cocktail too though, and I love pomegranate molasses so much, so wanted to give this pomegranate bourbon cocktail a try. If youContinueContinue reading “Pomegranate Bourbon Cocktail”
