The Manhattan is a classic cocktail. When I partake in one, I feel like I should be wearing a vintage dress and stiletto heels while holding a cigarette in a long, glamorous cigarette holder.
Sometimes we need a drink that sounds and feels sophisticated, even if we are drinking it at home in our sweatpants. The French 75 fulfills that need.
Every home bar needs a bottle of Tito’s for Tito’s Vodka cocktails, including the cosmopolitan or the simple vodka and soda.
The pear brandy adds a little spice, so this isn’t as sweet as it may sound. Best of all it tastes fresh, as if you just hand squeezed all the fruit.
If you dig piña coladas, you’ll appreciate this one. Buchanan’s Pineapple puts a new twist on the classic, and truly, it was made for this tropical drink.
My first lemon drop was at a local restaurant where Damian and I used to meet before we were married. It was actually the spot of our first date. I know…sappy stuff.
I first tasted a Blood and Sand cocktail while visiting a favorite restaurant, Hardware. The picture on the menu reminded me of a Manhattan so I thought I’d give it a try.
