The theme for this month’s Mixology Monday, brought to us this month by Dagreb of the Nihil Utopia blog, is Forgiving Cocktails, as in a “little too much of this and a touch to little of that.” The challenge is to submit a cocktail that is tolerant of a bit…
This drink is based on Kathy Casey’s Luxury Gin & Tonic Cocktail with Cucumber Lime Foam. (Follow her on Kathy Casey’s Liquid Kitchen). I did not have all of the ingredients she called for and, besides, I generally like to mess with recipes!

I’m sure most of you know that this past October 21, 2015 was “Back to the Future Day.” That was the date that Marty McFly traveled to the future in the second movie. (and the Cubs won the World Series!) Well, in the first movie, Marty traveled to the past…

I think Nelson’s Green Brier is slightly…
This month’s theme for Mixology Monday is Orange Juice, brought to us from the host of MxMo 101, DJ Hawaiian Shirt of the Spirited Remix blog. And, not just “Orange,” but Orange Juice. I think this month’s challenge is great because we love OJ! The first drink I thought of…
