Happy Hour: Orangina Sunrise
A fun way to present cocktails at a party is to serve them in a bottle. To make these Orangina sunrises, some of the Orangina is poured out of the bottle to create room for the rum, amaretto, and grenadine. Put the cocktails together before the party starts and fill a large cooler with the bottles.
Happy Hour: Brownie Cognac
Valentine's Day is an excellent excuse to experiment with chocolate cocktails. I'm especially interested in this recipe because it creates a cocktail that tastes like a brownie!
This drink has a rich, glossy color and a decadent, smooth taste.
Happy Hour: Cranberry Amaretto Kiss
During the holidays I was so busy that I didn't have time to experiment with different cocktail recipes. Instead, I found one that I absolutely loved and made it throughout the season. Actually I'm so obsessed, I'm still shaking it up!
Happy Hour: Autumnal Equinox
Yesterday was the first day of fall, or autumnal equinox. This means it's just about time to put away the ice cream maker and pull out the crock-pot. If this is sad news to you, you may need a drink to help you cope.
Definition: Amaretto
Amaretto
A liqueur with the distinct flavor of almonds, though it's often made with apricot pit kernels. The original liqueur, Amaretto di Saronno, is from Saronno, Italy - although many American distilleries now produce their own amaretto. It is usually served straight, on the rocks, or mixed into a cocktail and is often an ingredient used to enhance baked goods or desserts (as seen in my recipe for Amaretto Mousse).

Happy Hour: Kalimotxo
Have you ever thought to yourself, I could really use a cocktail right now, only to realize that your liquor cabinet is empty except for that random bottle of Amaretto? Instead of running to the corner store or the nearest bar, take a tip from the Spanish and make kalimotxo. While the name sounds exotic, the ingredients — coca-cola and red wine — are probably already in your kitchen.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a cocktail shaker in action. As I wait for a bartender to make my drink, the noise of ice clicking against glass fills me with giddy anticipation. Why?
Happy Hour: A Perfect Peartini
I'm not a huge fan of fruity martinis because they often taste too fake to me. Yet I'm also not one to turn down a cocktail, so when a friend recently offered me a pear martini, I was happy to keep an open mind. The concoction she mixed — featuring Grey Goose's pear-flavored vodka — was smooth, strong, not too sweet, and not the slightest bit artificial tasting.
Orange Ricotta Poundcake = Perfect Holiday Gift
The other day my dad watched Giada De Laurentiis make a scrumptious pound cake. Moments after she took the cake from the oven he was on the phone begging me to make it. Never one to disappoint daddio, I made it over the weekend.
