Happy Hour: Salty Dog
On New Years, I discovered a new favorite cocktail called the salty dog. No, it's not a strange concoction with hot dogs, but the cousin to the classic greyhound! Both the greyhound and salty dog combine fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice with vodka.
Happy Hour: Greyhound
The other day, while I was at one of my favorite bars — Cantina — I had a delicious and refreshing drink made with fresh grapefruit juice. A variation on the classic caipirinha, the cocktail was on the menu for that night only. I wanted to run home and re-create the delightful concoction, but I couldn't remember the list of ingredients.

Party Foul: Saying One Thing, Serving Another

Come Party With Me: Easter - Drinks
Easter is this Sunday and naturally I am busy as a bunny prepping for a feast with my family. Easter is a wonderful holiday because you get to celebrate the refreshing beauty that is spring.

The Ultimate Bar: Citrus Juicer
Any knowledgeable bartender knows that the best cocktails are made with real, fresh citrus juice. Countless recipes call for just squeezed lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juices. I would love to tell you that I have a sleek, efficient, electric juicer, but the truth is I have an old fashioned metal one - like the juicer at right.
What's In Season: Citrus
There is nothing as purely and simply delicious as fresh squeezed orange juice. I'm not talking about that stuff they sell in cardboard cartons on supermarket aisles, I'm talking about the real deal made with super ripe oranges. Although it may seem as if citrus is always in season because you can purchase it virtually year round, it is in fact at its best now.
