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...
Most mint juleps nowadays are made with bourbon, but gin was just as popular a base in the 19th century. Our throwback recipe will be just as crowd-pleasing at your Kentucky Derby party.
I discovered this recipe on the Upper West Side at a swanky bar. This will be the new 'in' drink! A Lady apple makes a great garnish if you can find one.

This is a deliciously cool French traditional summer cocktail that always wows my guests. But be warned, it goes down a little too easily! Make a large punch-bowlful for a large gathering, or a jugful...
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...
