Sea Captain’s Special
September 29th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, recipes, rye, sparkling wine, whisk(e)y
I found this stashed in Esquire Drinks in the chapter on what to imbibe when you’re dealing with having had a bit too much. I didn’t realize this at the time, as I was looking for something to make with an open bottle of cava, so the hefty pour of whiskey didn’t seem strange to [...]
East Hollywood Sparkling Sangria
September 17th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in housemade, mixers, MxMo, recipes, sparkling wine
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 [...]

I always supposed myself to be a red wine kind of girl, mostly because my experiences with non-red wines were limited to California chardonnay and white zinfandel, [...]
Murder By Death
November 28th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in liqueur, recipes, sake, sparkling wine
Toward the end of the sparkling wine, my boyfriend issued a challenge: he wanted a drink with Campari and champagne. The other ingredients and the manner of its creation were up to me. Thus, the Murder By Death was born. (And, by being the one responsible for the concoction’s creation, he was also the one [...]
Juniper Royale
November 26th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in gin, recipes, sparkling wine
Mmmmm, gin and champagne. Perhaps no one else will think so, but the Juniper Royale sounded positively yummy. Adding orange juice and cranberry juice to champagne makes nice drinks individually, so together, and with gin, it looked like a winning combination. This deduction was verified by the experiment, which was a terribly anti-climactic result after [...]
