Drinks
This site has lots and lots of different drinks to suit most tastes. You will find a variety of cocktails for every occasion. I have a blue margarita recipe that is perfect for summer, or any time of year really.
My mango cocktail is a favorite. When peaches are in season make a Bourbon peach tea smash, you will love it.
If you like fruity drinks more, then a refreshing guava cocktail is for you. And on a cool day a rose hips tea is delicious and soothing.
Scailtin – Irish Whiskey Milk Punch
Is it milk punch, or milk with a punch? Given its name it must be the latter. In any case, scailtin (Irish whiskey milk punch) is a great drink for a cold winter night. For this recipe I used Jameson because for some reason it seems to be more popular than Bushmills. This old Irish…

Citrus Apple Cider Martini

Vietnamese Egg Coffee (Ca phe trung)
Shortly after my daughter moved to Vietnam, she began raving about the food. We raised her a foodie, obviously. No street eat was too questionable, no dish too exotic. But, the one thing she really went on about was Vietnamese egg coffee (ca phe trung or cà phê trứng). When she fist told me about…
Bourbon Peach Tea Smash Cocktail
A couple of weekends ago my husband came up with a new beverage creation: bourbon peach tea smash cocktail, that is what he named it! He bought some peaches at a “farm stand” down the road from our house. I use the term farm stand loosely because there are basically two or three tables with baskets…

The Perfect and Classic Manhattan
The Manhattan was developed as a way to make a drink that was not TOO strong. Really? Yes, I guess the use of sweet vermouth was supposed to tame down the bourbon, or whiskey which I recently learned is the traditional choice.
