Would You Drink This Ham Daiquiri?
Carnivores, if your stomach was turning over the idea of a vegan-friendly Tofurky & Gravy soda, perhaps you'd be more game to try a ham daiquiri. Georgia Hardstark and Alie Ward, the original creators of the famed McNuggetini, are back with a video demo of their newest blended concoction of pineapple, pineapple soda, honey, Myers's dark rum, liquid smoke, and — yes, that's right — honey ham. The final result?
Frozen Blended Drinks: Love Them or Leave Them?
I'm a fan of just about every type of cocktail, be it a tiki drink, modern classic, or wine-based concoction. However, I'm not too crazy for frozen cocktails like blended margaritas and strawberry daiquiris.
Sure, I enjoy the occasional piña colada poolside, but when it comes to frozen drinks, I normally stay away.
What Do You Know About Rum?
You may think you already know all there is to know about rum through drinking piña coladas and daiquiris, but let's see if my quiz (in honor of tomorrow being National Rum Day) can stump you. Are you ready to rummmmble? Let's begin!
Happy Hour: Papa Doblé Daiquiri
At Spruce, an upscale bar and restaurant in San Francisco, I came across the papa doblé daiquiri on the bar menu and knew I had to order it. I love this drink for several reasons, and one of them is the legendary story behind it. The papa doblé was the signature drink of prolific writer Ernest Hemingway.
Would You Rather Drink a Margarita or a Daiquiri?
When I saw this frozen strawberry margarita, I suddenly had a hankering for a fruity blended beverage. Usually when I want berries and booze, I'll go for a strawberry daiquiri, but I have to admit that I love margaritas even more. How about you?
Happy Hour: Strawberry Daiquiri
Whenever I'm up in the mountains at my vacation house - as I am now - my mother and I spend every afternoon lying by the pool, indulging in a cocktail (or 2) at happy hour. Usually I order piña coladas, but since this week was the 4th, I've been ordering strawberry daiquiris instead. With such a beautiful vibrant red color, and the sweet/sour taste combination of pureed strawberries and fresh squeezed lime juice, how could one not look exceptionally chic sipping this by the pool?

National Daiquiri Day
According to the generally accepted legend, in 1905 a mining engineer named Jennings Cox landed on the shores of a Cuban beach called Daiquiri. When he ran out of gin while entertaining fellow Americans, Cox invented the daiquiri. He had an abundant supply of rum, sugar, and limes and the drink was an invention of necessity.
Let's Dish: What Foods Do You Look For at The Fair?
Next month, some of my friends are making the trek out to Sacramento from the Bay Area to hit up the California State Fair, where a number artists — including one of my favorite country music stars — is performing. But the state fair doesn't have to put on an elaborate musical production to get me to show up; I'd be there for the food alone! After all, who can say no to mile-high strawberry daiquiris, elephant ears, garlic fries, and those giant smoked turkey legs?

Dining Among the Redwoods at Sunset's Celebration Weekend
On a recent weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Sunset's Celebration Weekend, an outdoor event dedicated to all things lifestyle, from gardening to home improvement to, of course, food. The festival, which took place under a shining sun at Sunset magazine's headquarters in Menlo Park, CA, featured cooking demos from chefs like Cindy Pawclyn, Jamie Lauren, and Aaron McCargo, Jr.; composting seminars from Sunset editors; wine tastings; and vendors selling fresh greens, molés, and gelato. There was tons of food and drink to sample: I spotted everything from grilled sausages to watermelon beer to the tallest strawberry daiquiris known to man.
