Cinco de Mayo is only one day away! Do you have your plans in place? If you are staying home for the evening, there's no reason to skip the celebration. Make some burritos or nachos and then add a traditional Mexican cocktail. While a margarita seems like the obvious go-to, why not try something different?
The Tradicional Paloma is made with tequila, giving it that typical Mexican drink flavor. However, instead of requiring a handful of other ingredients, all that is needed is soda. Add a spark to the celebration with little effort, how much better could it be?

Gotham City

Hi, everyone.
Thank you for joining me for this month's cocktail. I have recently been experimenting with port and some of its possibilities for mixing. I enjoy a nice glass of ruby or tawny port during a cold winter night or after dinner. However, outside of a Portonic I never really did much with it during the spring and summer months.... until now.
The cocktail I would like to share with you is a cross between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned and is a fantastic sipper with subtle complexity and sophisticated masculinity. I call this cocktail Gotham City for its dark

In case you haven't heard, there is a royal wedding later this month. From the amount of media attention the pending nuptials of Price William and Kate Middleton have received, it seems like there will be a large audience around the world. When planning a viewing event, it is important to include delicious food and drinks in the menu. While nothing says wedding quite like a flute of Champagne, it can be fun to make cocktails for the event.

Minty McFreeze Shake Deluxe
by Michele on March 16th, 2011 | Cocktails, Frozen Drinks
Every year my husband and I celebrate St. Patrick's Day with another couple. The evening is hosted at our home and features a traditional corned beef dinner. For me, the cooking part is easy: a boiled dinner of corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots and homemade Irish soda bread. For the guys, the beverage is easy: Guinness. For my girlfriend and me, the drinks have proven to be more difficult. Neither of us like beer, and mint drinks can be overpowering.
