Laced with muddled fresh raspberries and blackberries, the Champagne Cobbler Cocktail is crisp and refreshing with the wonderful flavor of fresh berries in every sensational sip. I'm a sucker for a champagne cocktail ~ pretty much in any form or fashion. There's just something about those sparkling bubbles that make champagne cocktails extra fun and refreshing.
Happy weekend! I just wanted to pop in for a minute and share this easy recipe for the spicy margaritas we served at our margarita party a few weeks ago. They were such a big hit - tart, smooth, not too sweet, and most importantly - spicy.
Matt's El Rancho in Austin combines two festive drinks in its sangria margarita.
I've made an executive decision around here. What is it? Now that designing cocktails is my new favorite thing to do (ahem, mixologist wanna be) I'm going to create a series of cocktails named after Telluride ski runs. And by the way there are a lot of ski runs! Here's No.
We recently bought these glasses but hadn't gotten around to making their name-sake cocktail until now. The Old Fashioned is one of the classic cocktails with a whiskey base. We were happy with the ratios on our first attempt and the initial taste of the drink was delicious.
Have you ever tried a sloe gin fizz? It's refreshing and delightfully balances sweet against tart. It begins with Sloe Gin then we add fresh lemon, a little sugar and club soda. Cheery and simple. Sloe gin comes from across the pond in England and has everything to do with "sloe berries."
The Best Red Wine Sangria The whole tub of The Best Red Wine Sangria is placed into the fridge for several hours to meld the flavors and chill it well. I'm delighted that this does not turn out to be the god-awful sweet version of red wine sangria that I've had so many times.
The classic, elegant Manhattan is one of the first cocktails I ever learned to drink. It seemed like such a grown up, classy thing to sip on while sitting in some dark, oak paneled New York bar. So the young me thought it was fun while the...um...older me now appreciates the taste.
Traditionally, a Gimlet calls for gin and lime juice, often sweetened lime juice or Rose's lime cordial - that's the electric green bottled lime juice sold next to grenadine. We thought that's all we needed to know, but then our good friend, Kathleen told us about a gimlet she ordered at a local bar.
