Craving a margarita but fancier? Look no further than the Mezarita. That’s short for a Mezcal margarita (but spicy). A friend and I made this one a little special with the addition of cilantro lime syrup, which really took the flavor up a notch!  Recipe is below, but here...

I’ve been thinking about making this lavender lemon vesper martini for awhile. I’ve wanted to make a vesper martini since I tried one at a local restaurant in January (when I first fell in love with Lillet). I finally put one together, with a couple of twists. I used...

This pineapple rum cocktail is something I put together while I was researching foods from the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and I stumbled on this gorgeous concoction from Fruteria Cano and knew it had just inspired a simple but fun cocktail recipe. I stumbled on this gorgeous...

I’ve been wanting to make herb-infused vodka for awhile now and finally tried it with some excess thyme that lives in my garden. Herbs are so fun to use in different ways, and if you have a garden you know you can really have a lot of them! I...

Sometimes you just need a good drink in the middle of the week. This one is stout without being too strong, flavorful but not overwhelming, and goes great with relaxing by a fire. Ingredients: 2 oz gin (this kind is lovely) 1 oz Sauvignon Blanc white wine 1/2 oz...

This cocktail was light and fresh and one of my first home cocktail-making experiences with gin (and you can see I like to use rosemary). Ingredients (serves two): 1 mini bottle (or a 2 oz shot) The Gin Factory Rosemary Gin 1/4 cup Sauvignon Blanc 1/4 cup fresh cranberries...
