Drink This: Cranberry Orange Gin Fizz

Brynne — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:00:00 +0000

We are on the homestretch to Christmas and I just cannot believe how quickly it’s come roaring up on us this year! Can I say that I am just not prepared at all? I’m sure you are all well-prepared – stockings hung by the chimney with care, artistically wrapped presents propped under the tree (or... [Read More]

Drink This: Mango Whiskey Smash

Brynne — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Last week, I ordered the book “Nikon D3000 For Dummies”. I’ve owned my DSLR camera for several years now, and it was time for me to learn some more about it! Even though I literally read the owner’s manual front to back, I had no idea how to use so many of its settings. I... [Read More]

Drink This: Sparkling Ginger Margarita

Brynne — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 16:00:00 +0000

We may have overpurchased liquor for the cocktail party we hosted this past weekend… Apparently I was preparing for a herd of alcoholic zombies. They didn’t show up. But, as a result of our marvelous foresight and hosting skills, we now have all the ingredients necessary to try out new and delicious cocktails. Like the... [Read More]

Drink This: Apple Rye

Brynne — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 23:00:00 +0000

This is my 100th blog post! Drinks all around! This drink, while featuring some decidedly fall flavors, is very refreshing and thus perfectly acceptable for summer imbibing. It tastes like apple pie, so we called it… wait for it… “Apple Rye.” We are geniuses. Watch out, because this is so scrumptious you may find yourself... [Read More]

Drink This: Prickly Pear Colada

Brynne — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 23:00:00 +0000

It’s another pink drink! It’s another prickly pear cocktail! Are you sensing a pattern lately? I still have over half a bottle of prickly pear puree left, and I’m determined to concoct as many prickly pear cocktails as I can! (If you missed my previous prickly pear drinks, here are the recipes for Prickly Pear... [Read More]

Drink This: Brynne’s Pink Lemonade

Brynne — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:23:00 +0000

After making Prickly Pear Margaritas last week, I had a ton of prickly pear puree left. Now, you can only make prickly pear margaritas so many times in a row before they begin to lose their appeal, as delicious as they may be. So what to do with the almost full bottle of puree? I... [Read More]

Drink This: Prickly Pear Margarita

Brynne — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 23:00:00 +0000

This is delicious. And that’s coming from someone who isn’t a huge fan of margaritas. Well, at least I’m not a fan of the margaritas most places make. To me they always taste like either a sour patch kid smoothie or country time lemonade + that sour skittle stuff + liquor (yuck!). Made at home... [Read More]

Drink This: The [Not So] Old Cuban

Brynne — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:00:00 +0000

I gave Bryan this book for Christmas, even though I have fully benefitted from it as much as he has: Vintage Cocktails by Laziz Hamani When we saw the beautifully handwritten and photographed recipe for the Old Cuban cocktail, we were hooked. Rum, champagne and lime all sounded delightful! We didn’t have any mint, and... [Read More]

Drink This: Vieux Carré

Brynne — Sun, 26 May 2013 23:00:00 +0000

This weekend we went to see Star Trek Into Darkness. To back up a little bit, the Stark Trek movie released in 2009 was kind of our first unofficial date. I was going to see it with a girl friend, and my new pal Bryan decided to tag along. I spent the whole time at... [Read More]
