Wait just a second, there, skippy. I saw you glancing at the dessert menu. I saw how you were about to break your new year's resolution just for a bit of chocolate cake with some artificially flavored icing. You really want to throw it all away on that? Come on, man, think before you do anything stupid.
Okay, now that we've had time to rationalize our decision, what are we going to do? That's right – we're going to throw away our new year's resolution on something worthwhile, like a delicious cream liqueur!
Hey, not so fast! Did you really think

It May Taste Like Almonds, but it’s Not Cyanide
by Jason Lightner on May 31st, 2011 | Liquor
I've got some more tequila to sample for you fine folks, but I'm going to give the agave plant a rest this week and, instead, turn my attention to amaretto. "But wait!" you say, "amaretto is a liqueur, not a liquor." Well, yes, but the way I see it, if it's not beer or wine and it's more than 15% abv, it's fair game. Just be glad I didn't decide to review aromatic bitters. On second thought, maybe I'll do that next week.

Pumpkin Truffle Martini

Hi, everyone. I'm always excited about the month of October for its sheer beauty and brilliant pumpkin patches that can be seen while driving around New England. Due to the hot summer, the pumpkin crop was 2 weeks early this year. However, the pumpkin crops are hearty with plenty of sizable pumpkins, as well as different varieties.
Over the past few years I have experimented with several types of pumpkin cocktails and toddys.With this said, I sometimes have trouble deciding which type of pumpkin drink to offer, so I have decided to offer one in October and another style through the
month

I have tried sake several times. With full apologies to Dr. Seuss and Green Eggs and Ham:
I have tried it cold,
I have tried it hot,
I have sipped it in pretty glasses,
I bravely tried it as a shot.
I would not drink it again,
I would not take any more sips,
I firmly refused to try it
I announced with hands on my hips.
I held this position on sake for quite some time. Although I had tried a variety of sakes, none were enjoyable or tasty. However, last weekend at the Boston Wine Expo, I finally found sake that was enjoyable.

Puzzle Me Pomegranate Martini

As a best friend, you have varying responsibilities. Being available to listen, helping when an extra set of hands is needed, remembering the little details that matter. And sometimes you need to create a cocktail for you and your best friends to enjoy while you build the 1,000 piece puzzle that they received as a Christmas gift. Seriously.
Last Saturday we had a date night planned with our friends, OT and Vicki. After dinner at a restaurant we planned to return to their house and work on the thousand piece puzzle OT had received. I asked, jokingly, if we would be
