This year is screaming by so fast it’s hard to believe. Another month gone, another MxMo come to visit! This month’s theme is pairings, hosted by the lovely Liquid Muse, Natalie. I will admit to being really excited about this one, as it marries two of my favorite things: cooking and cocktails. I spend much [...]

Happy Mixology Monday! Another month has passed and our intrepid host, Gabriel at cocktailnerd, has chosen “fizz” as his theme. Fizzy ingredients are everywhere in cocktails. Tonic water, club soda, ginger beer, soda, mineral water, champagne…the absolutely overwhelming number of choices made this month’s challenge interesting. There are so many choices, it was hard to [...]

For those of you who didn’t make your way here via this week’s roundup, it’s time again for Mixology Monday! Hosted this month by Gwen over at Intoxicated Zodiac, the theme of choice is orange—apropos for August, it being the month of the Leo and also the sign I find myself perched on the cusp [...]

After a few months absence from the fun of Mixology Monday, I’m back and ready to play along for Créme de la Créme, kindly hosted this month by Morsels & Musings. As some of you may know or have noticed, this cream-based event presents me with an interesting challenge. Being a vegan means I don’t [...]

Mixology Monday is back again, but slightly more challenging. I admit, I completely forgot about it until, oh, six o’clock today, but I did what I always do when confronted with a cocktail dilemma: I went to CocktailDB. So, faced with a “grape” challenge, what does one do? Wine is out, so that leaves other [...]
Lemon Sorbet

I’ve been lurking around the posts for Mixology Monday for a while now and have finally bellied up to the bar (so to speak). This week’s ingredient is lemon, so I set off on a search through every cocktail book I own to find the drink with the most lemon flavor that could possibly be [...]
