Now that the days are getting shorter and chillier, it’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book and a nice warming glass of whisky - or should that be whiskey? Same thing, just different spell...
The end of summer doesn't need to mean the end of fruity cocktails — we just need to use preserved fruits and emphasize some subtler, year-round flavors....
Barrel-aged beers seem to be popping up all over the place these days! For the uninitiated, these are beers that get a special vacation inside wood barrels, where they spend time fermenting and pick u...
Last week we shared one of our favorite aperitif cocktails: The Bittercup, from Christopher Flett and Uva Wine Bar in Vancouver. That cocktail is a special occasion drink, with two kinds of juice and ...
Q: A friend is throwing an autumn party full of wonderful treats and drinks. My contribution is to be a boozy hot apple cider. However, none of the recipes I can find really tickle my fancy. Any tri...
We have a thing for cocktails with complexity: we like more than a touch of bitterness, with a little sweet, a little sour, a little fizz to keep us interested all the way to the last drop. If you lik...
Want to toast the end of the summer in style? How about mixing yourself up a cool, elegant Lillet Sin?...
We've been meaning to show you our new favorite liqueur for quite a while. But as we sipped and sipped, the bottle level got lower and lower, and now we have hardly any left to show you! And that, I s...
We've talked about stocking your liquor cabinet with summer essentials, and other cocktail basics. Now we're curious about the extra sorts of liquor you like to keep around. Besides the big basics of ...
One of our favorite holiday cooking features last winter was Gourmet's look back at seven decades of their favorite cookie recipes. Well, right now they're doing the same for cocktails, and it's one o...
Name: Liz Location: Brooklyn, New York How are you staying cool? This cocktail tastes like vacation, a refreshing respite from the August heat. It's champagne stirred with St-Germain, a delicate Frenc...

Not that you need a special reason to enjoy a delectably citrusy rum drink on a summer night, but this weekend you'll have one: Sunday, July 19th is National Daiquiri Day. Already a big fan of the Cl...
