Some day, I will probably hate myself for saying this, but no drink really has a "correct" recipe.
Most drinks have a traceable "original" recipe (cocktail writer David Wondrich has tracked down many of them on Esquire's drinks database.) Many have a popularly accepted recipe, and some even have a "sanctioned" recipe from the International Bartender's Association (which I picture to be something akin to SPECTRE in the James Bond movies.) But the "right" recipe? Drinks change over time, as do tastes, and at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is my recipe (if

Happy February, everyone! If the shoveling and snowblowing has been overwhelming, sit back relax and enjoy this story and recipe. May it help you experience a little bit of the tropics in the dead of winter.
I thought this month I would go against the grain of the weather a little bit and offer something on the tropical side. I believe that it is good to mix it up a little bit in mid-winter sometimes. When a winter is as historic as this one, a nice tropical drink can lift the spirits.

While I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her and my family, I think the best part of the trip was an evening I spent with just her. As my husband was away on business and the kids weren't home, the two of us were left to our own devices.
I had told my mom about Tapas Night dining that my husband and I enjoy on most Mondays. She always seemed interested in the dishes, so I decided that she and I would have

Hawaiian Fuzzy Logic

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
