Double Stuf Oreo Martini

February 17, 2012

This wasn’t as easy an infusion as I expected it to be. I initially started by infusing regular Oreos, but after a week of “infusion time” I tasted my concoction and decided I wanted more of the “Stuf” flavor versus chocolate. So started over and decided to use Double Stuf Oreos instead. Sharing is cool! [...]

Pineapple Upside-down Cake Martini

February 10, 2012

This time, I’m afraid I can’t take credit for creating the aforementioned marvelous dessert inspired martini. Because this creation my friends, was actually brought to you via one of my Buy.com colleges who happens to share the same passion for cocktail concoctions as me.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shooter

February 3, 2012

Time to confess… so, I’ve had this bottle of Torani Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough syrup tucked away on the left hand side of the top-most shelf of my pantry for some time now. It’s been sitting there a little longer than I care to admit. It’s partially hidden behind the constantly rotating boxes of cold [...]

San Francisco 49er Spicy Bay Martini

Our household has been a long time 49er fan. Through thick and thin, during the good times and the bad. No team switching based on who’s doing better during any given season. We are tried and true 49er fans. Sharing is cool! Tweet

My friend Cindy and I recently paid a visit to what I clearly think is the best spirit shoppe in Southern California. —I’m not kidding. This place has isles and isles of every possible distilled beverage imaginable. Sharing is cool! Tweet

Pomegranate Valentini

January 13, 2012

A few weeks ago while the stores will still adorned with tinsel, snowflakes, and christmas trees. I asked one of my friends who happens to have a gorgeous pomegranate tree in her backyard for a pomegranate. I told her I wanted to make some pomegranate infused vodka with it. Sharing is cool! Tweet

Stiletto Disambiguation

January 6, 2012

It’s a bit of a blur now —my short-term memory is not the greatest. Actually, now that I think about it —my long-term memory is nothing to write home about either. But, I digress… I’m just going to take a wild guess and say it was a little over a week ago when I first [...]
