Simple and straightforward, the buck comes in an infinite number of variations. Tequila and ginger beer come together in a drink perfect for the warm days and cool nights of spring.

Some girls have the Miracle Bra, I have simple syrup with allspice and cinnamon. How’s that for priorities?

Another Jeff Morgenthaler post?!?! Don’t I read any other cocktail blogs?
El Diablo, Mi Amante
September 21st, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, recipes, tequila
So it’s really here. Fall. The mornings and evenings are downright chilly and daytime temps no longer reach over 75º. I have officially turned the heater on and today we’re expecting our first rain storm. Summer is over. On that note, I’m clearing out the warm-weather leftovers like the Tequila por Mi Amante. Strawberries have [...]
Paloma Mi Amante
September 7th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in recipes, tequila
Back in June, Paul over at Cocktail Chronicles posted about an experimental infusion called Tequila por Mi Amante, which is a simple combination of strawberries and tequila. Chop a pint of (organic) berries, cover with tequila, let steep for a minimum of three weeks and ta da! You are now the proud parent of a [...]
Margarita
August 16th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, recipes, tequila
There have been, in the past week, two days at work that were teetering dangerously close to nightmarish. By the end of the day, I was ready to go home and curl up in the fetal position, then sleep for about three days. Seeing as Rip van Winkle-ing it isn’t an option, I opted instead [...]
Tropical Fix
July 15th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in MxMo, recipes, rum, tequila
Another month has passed and Mixology Monday XVII is upon us. This month is a little different—a way for the growing community of cocktail bloggers to learn about each other and to give a little love back to the blogs we’re reading rather than a slew of drinks based on a single ingredient. Paul has [...]
Drink On!
May 21st, 2007 | by nerdling | published in tequila, vodka, whisk(e)y
A little bubbly can cure what ails your brain. The ethanol found in liquor boosts the antioxidant quotient of strawberries and blackberries. Guess the old cliché of strawberries and Champagne isn’t so corny after all…
Long Island Iced Tea
December 10th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in gin, liqueur, recipes, rum, tequila, vodka
I will be honest and state beforehand that I do not, have not and likely will not ever care for the Long Island Iced Tea. Perhaps it is the inherent frat party connotations, or just residual fears about mixing every single kind of alcohol possible into one glass with caffeine, or the fact that something&dmash;something [...]
La Rosita
December 8th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in liqueur, recipes, tequila
Drinks with a little Latin flavor were the game of the night, so La Rosita was next in line. Not only beautiful but tasty as well, this is a tequila-and-Campari twist on a Perfect Manhattan, a combination which made me raise an eyebrow. I mean, really…it doesn’t sound good on paper, so why would you [...]
El Diablo
December 7th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in liqueur, recipes, tequila
Things tend to happen in and around my bar in large quantities. We find new recipes and wind up making a liquor-and-mixers run to find the ingredients that will allow us to make the most drinks with the fewest purchases. A few purchases in theory never materializes in reality, and out of one such spell, [...]
Tequila Canyon
November 29th, 2005 | by nerdling | published in liqueur, recipes, tequila
Unfortunately, I don’t have any quality tequila in the house right now. During the summer we keep a much better selection around, but for the Tequila Canyon I had to make do with some bottom-shelf Sauza usually reserved for last-minute margaritas. The fruit juices in this make it something of a beefier Tequila Sunrise, without [...]
