What do you drink during an Irish Christmas? If you’re anything like me, you might opt for the Spicy Irish, an Irish whiskey drink tempered with ginger ale and gingerbread liqueur. The result is a drink with equal parts spice and kick; in fact this was one of our early favorites when we started the website.
Residents of Sacramento know that every autumn, it’s that time again to drive up the road to Apple Hill and visit all the merchants and sample their goods. I always buy a Dutch Apple Pie, grab the best apple fritters known to man over at High Hill, and pick up some handcrafted items from a booth or two. It dawned on me this year that the only thing missing was a mixed drink that tastes just like homemade apple pie. After hours of scouring the Web and experimenting with different formulas, I settled on an Apple Pie Cocktail recipe that lives up to the hype.
During the holiday season, sticks of peppermint are often given as stocking stuffers. Today we celebrate that tradition with the Peppermint Twist. This peppermint shot also combines the flavors of Kahlúa, and a subtle hint of chocolate to create a unique holiday shooter.
The legend of Lady Godiva is something that lives on almost a thousand years after the fact. Was her infamous ride something that actually took place, or is it all fabricated? We’ll discuss that after a bit, but for now, I want to talk about the Godiva martini that bears her name. That’s right, it’s Valentine’s Day, so there’s no better time to post our Godiva Truffletini recipe. For the sex symbol in your life, I can’t think of a better way to express your appreciation. Of wait, yes I can.
Pomegranate drinks are all the rage these days. The holidays might be over for now, but that doesn’t mean that have to stop making awesome cocktails. The Pomegranate Swizzle is the drink we are going to break down for you today.
Recently, I was scouring the Internet for recipes for Apple Pie Cocktail, or at least something similar. There turned out to be a ton of drink recipes that were nothing at all alike. Before I finally came up with a concoction that satisfied my original quest, I started experimenting with some of the liquors and mixers I had compiled into a list of potential ingredients. What I accidentally came up with is a brand new drink that I am now dubbing the Sacramento Cider. This mixed drink tastes just like an alcoholic version of mulled cider, and I’m excited to share our Sacramento Cider recipe with you today.
