Time for another winter whiskey cocktail? Oh yes. So, I've got this awesome book sitting on my coffee table, Winter Cocktails by Maria Del Mar Sacasa. Know what it's full of? Things like: English Christmas punch, pumpkin bourbon eggnog, and salted caramel hot chocolate. Needless to say, this is my kinda book.
Tis the season friends! For classic eggnog. BOURBON eggnog. Next to the fire, curled up with a blanket, xmas tunes cranking. OR, in my case with this eggnog, great friends over for some grub eating and white elephant gift exchanging, xmas tunes cranking. Good times friends, good times.
Fresh peach puree, orange juice, and lime make these fun and fruity Margaritas extra fabulous! Lately I've been all about the at-home happy hour. There's just something about sitting out on our little patio - frosty margarita in hand - that makes Summer feel extra special.
Add a scrumptious seasonal twist to your cocktail line-up with this delicious Pumpkin Spice White Russian! It's perfect for fall sippin'. I fully embrace fall! I remember as a kid growing up in Vermont, I couldn't wait for the leaves to change color and start falling.

Who's in for a mikshake swim? This trash concoction in a glass came from one thing: expiring strawberries. I had lots in the fridge and knew I had to do something. Granola and yogurt? No. That's boring. I didn't want to make a cake or a cupcake or a cheesecake or a pie or whatever.
Not overly sweet or too tart, our cosmopolitan cocktail recipe is perfect to shake up for one or even prepare in advance for a crowd. While there are many variations, ours comes from what we (and most of our friends) keep stocked in our pantry.
As soon as September arrives, all I can think about are apples, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. Sweet Potato Pancakes with Candied Pecans and Marshmallow Syrup are just the breakfast for welcoming fall. They're like the pancake version of sweet potato casserole. Cooked mashed sweet potato is added to the pancake batter.
Let's get this weekend kicked off with a cocktail, shall we? I think it's safe to say we all need one and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experiencing major busy season in all areas of life. I actually meant to post this last night, but according to my husband he found me [...]
When Brian and I first met, he was a bourbon drinker but doesn't recall ever having had a Manhattan. I loved Manhattans but always had them made with the traditional rye whiskey. Now, years later, we both enjoy the happy marriage of bourbon Manhattans.
