• 1.5 oz. Bulleit Bourbon
• .25 oz. sweet vermouth
• 1.5 oz. Stirrings Blood Orange Mixer
• 1 dash Stirrings Blood Orange Bitters
• 1 piece cherry

In a shaker with ice, mix all ingredients. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry (optional).

We’re vodka girls here, but we realize that not everyone drinks vodka. Some people (like Dads!) drink bourbon, so we thought we’d bring you a drink perfect for a special Father’s Day.  If Dad complains about the vibrant color, remind him it’s the same red as his “mid-life crisis” convertible.

Place the nectarines, peach liqueur, and lemon juice in a blender and process until completely smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and transfer the puree to a large glass pitcher. Refrigerate until completely chilled.

To serve, carefully add the champagne to the pitcher, stirring gently to blend. Alternately, pour 2 tablespoons of puree into individual champagne flutes and top with sparkling wine.  Serves 8.  (Or serves just Kathy because she would kick a puppy to drink 8 of these right about now)

If I could I’d rename this the Kathy Is Over Being Pregnant and Wishes She Could Have This Cocktail.  I’m annoyingly reminding Joelle that I am … read more »

You’re stuck with me, kids!  And lo, I am but one woman so your patience is appreciated!

If you have not submitted your Request for Proposal yet for the Summer schedule, please do so before 11:59pm, June 1st in order to make the list for Summer.

This does not guarantee we’ll be able to take on your project this season, but we will certainly try!  Kathy will be taking limited projects for July (small blogs, mostly), but everything else goes to me, so if you are waiting for Kathy, you might need to … read more »
