Shamrock Cocktail Sparkles

Posted on March 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

St. Patrick’s Day cocktails and drinks do not have to be all about Irish whiskey, green beer and Jello shots. Some chatter within the cocktail world in the past has been that vodka might have slipped within the dead zone. However rarely will one see a bar without rows of premium vodka for martinis or flavored vodkas for fun sipping cocktails whether the theme is Girl’s Night Out, Date Night or just winding down from a long day at work. St. Patrick’s Day will be no different. Party goers like to join the crowd for a spirited green food coloring tinted beer or shot of whiskey, but once the night is in full swing it’s back to the basics; drinking what one likes and knows. For many that means vodka based cocktails.

Sweeten the Valentine’s Day Honey Pot

Posted on February 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

Ah, the sweet beginnings of love, love, love… They start with cute grins, fluttering eye lashes, stolen glances and then pet names roll off the tongue like Wookums, Pookie, Love Nugget and Cuppy Cake. Such manifestations of love are better left to the privacy of one’s own home…Sugar Britches! Keep it simple…Honey. It’s perfect. Not too over the top sweet, natural, with just a hint of edginess to it if you put a deep roll to it from the recesses of your throat. Give your Babylicious Poohbear your sexiest kitten eye flutter and he’ll know he’s just the Bee’s Knees in your book without all the Gummie Bear Doll Face names.
