When you travel down the juice aisle at the grocery store, it seems that there is an endless array of cranberry juice combinations. Cran-apple, cran-raspberry, cran-cherry, cran-peach, and more. When I was creating cocktails for my husband and me recently, I decided to give a try at making my own cranberry concoction. What I made was quite tasty but not something that you could find in the juice aisle or offer to anyone under the age of 21.
Although cranberry juice can be tart, the use of peach liqueur gave a bit of sweetness to the drink. I think it could

A few weeks ago I discovered that a Fuzzy Navel can be an enjoyable drink. Well, at least it can be when it is served as a Fuzzy Navel 2.0. The combination of orange and peach flavors served in a lighter style made a perfect summer evening cocktail.
Last week my husband decided to tinker with his own peach and orange drink concoction. To change the flavor slightly he added pineapple to the list of flavors. This produced a drink that tasted quite tropical but also had a bit of a kick to it. Served over ice, it was refreshing

I realized last night that it seemed like it had been a long time since I had posted a drink recipe. We have had chilly weather for the end of May and most of June, so the thought of filling the martini shaker with ice has been pretty unappealing. And with lots of activity for work and home, there hasn't been much time to relax and enjoy a cocktail. So, a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of the day has been about it for me.

Like most people my tastes have changed with time. I used to prefer my mixed drinks to be sweet and didn't mind if they were heavy. My former favorite drinks were frozen strawberry dacquiris, White Russians, and espresso-tinis. However, now most of those drinks are on my list of drinks to avoid.
Although my tastes have changed, there are some similarities. I still do enjoy a hint of sweetness in my drinks. And if there were to be any theme to the variety of drinks that I like, it would be that they include fruit flavors. The differences are that I

Ahh. . .the joys of living in New England. The weather was sunny and in the 70s a few days ago, but now it has become rainy and chilly again. However, the few days of warm weather are a hint of what is to come- the heat of summer.
With summer heat there is increased demand for icy cold beverages. Of course, I know that during hot weather one needs to be well hydrated, which means that lots of water should be consumed. But once you have yourself hydrated, a little indulgence is in order.
Sure, the kids love a glass of
