Halloween party guests will love sipping this cocktail, which is made with a combination of light and dark rum, pomegranate juice, a lime wedge, and simple syrup. Coat the rim of each glass with black...
This splendid mixture of liquors that everyone has in the back of their liquor cabinet collecting dust looks like chocolate milk, but is far from it. My friends and I came up with it one night when we...
Crisp, clean gin martini cocktail. One is not enough! Chill the gin in the freezer overnight before preparing the drink. This prevents the ice from melting and diluting the drink. Do not allow plastic...
Ran out of orange juice one morning and was too hot and tired to squeeze more ... and voila! It also tastes lighter than the orange juice version and doesn't diminish that lovely champagne fizz. Perfect...
This is a simple mixed drink that is smooth and slightly sweet. If you don't like the taste of alcohol, then you will enjoy this recipe that I fix when I can't sleep.
I have been told that my vodka paralyzers are the best. These are especially yummy topped with a maraschino cherry, but that is by no means necessary. Make sure you add the ingredients in the order listed,...
This is an easy, delicious hot-buttered rum that doesn't require cream or ice cream. Keep the mixture on hand in the fridge for use anytime. You can substitute 1/2 cup hot strong coffee or tea for the...
Having the girls over? This is the perfect party drink and you can count on it disappearing. Using Rose's lime juice prevents the cloudiness of real lime, it's so pretty. Sweet without the harsh taste...
I had this drink at a popular chain restaurant and decided to try it at home. I have served it at a couple different gatherings now and it has always been given rave reviews. It's the perfect drink for...
Boredom makes some pretty interesting drinks that taste surprisingly good. This citrus flavored sipper is mild yet potent. It will sneak in and whoop your butt like a little ninja.
Traditional affogato is vanilla gelato topped with espresso, but here a tropical sorbet forms an island in a coffee-flavored rum sea. Rum-based Tia Maria® coffee liqueur is preferred for its wonderful...
Chamomile and lemon-flavored herbs create a delicate, delightful tea. We used lemon verbena, which lends a pleasantly sweet flavor for a refreshing and light tea.
The bracing combination of citrus and mint is an excellent foil for sweet rum in this classic Cuban cocktail. White rum is preferred over darker types for its clarity of color. Served over ice and topped...
My father and uncle (see 'Dan Fay Martini') loved their martini's. Having sampled both of their recipes, more than once, I found myself making variations to their wonderful concoctions. Here is my latest...
I wanted to create a simple drink during a Green Bay Packers game. I thought green and yellow, lemon and lime. Unbeknownst it was during the same game where B.J. Raji scored his first touchdown in the...
When you suspect you're done shaking this creamy gin drink, think again. You've only just begin. Keep shaking. Then shake some more. It's a beautiful cocktail, but you have to shake that juice and cream...
Creamy, frothy fall cocktail with marshmallow vodka and pumpkin liqueur. Easy as turning on a blender and so perfect when the leaves start to fall. Garnish with cinnamon or nutmeg.
One of my favorite restaurants gave me the ingredients to this drink. Play around with the ingredients and adjust to your liking. This is so good, it tastes like a milkshake!
It's called riverbank margaritas because you can carry everything you need to the riverbank! Very tasty! You can have it on the rocks or we sometimes put it in resealable bags in the freezer and it becomes...
