Dear Courtier, Her Highness cordially invites you to delight in a decadent Kir Imperial Champagne Cocktail (Chambord & Champagne) and have a ball!  If you can’t afford such a lavish libation, there’s a Kir Royale recipe (Crème de Cassis & Champagne / Sparkling Wine) suitable for you bourgeoisie and a Kir recipe (Crème de Cassis &  White Wine) for Her Majesty’s most thirsty subjects.

Need a last minute holiday cocktail recipe? If your answer is “yes” then you’ll want to give this darn YUMMY gingerbread cookie martini a mix! I first tried this with only half an ounce of ginger simple syrup and well, it was “nice”.  Pour another half ounce into your shaker and it transforms from just “nice” to “naughty”!

Should you get a wee bit frisky while slurping down this tipple while waiting to sneak a peek of  Santa, you might want to refer to a few of these “tried and true” hangover cures. Warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

Last lesson, you learned how to concoct a New Moon, a mysterious, glow-in-the-dark, gin libation. Now this mocktail is for vampire fans of all ages.  Get ready to become smitten with a naughty yet nice non-alcoholic tipple named Bitten.

Yeah, sure, it’s a kiddie cocktail but don’t let this blood red beverage fool you.  She has a sassy yet sweet bite and is loaded with health benefits thanks to her pomegranate juice and coconut water. For you drinkers who enjoy a more boozy beverage, spike this modern Shirley with some gin or vodka (or both!).  Now has come the time for you to drain this doozy of a drink dry and enjoy!  Muah-ha-ha!!!

There’s nothing like perking up workweek doldrums than with a sexy tropical libation.   This cocktail comes by way of the beautiful country of Brazil.  It’ll have you lusting for that Girl from Ipanema frolicking on the beach with Gisele Bündchen in itsy bitsy Brazilian bikinis.  So what drink could sum up all this Brazilian sexiness in a glass?  Just Brazil’s national drink – the Caipirinha and her sexy little sis, Caipirissima.

This how-to is dedicated to the Caipirissima which is made with light rum rather than the Brazilian spirit Cachaça (which is used in a Caipirinha).  Like the Cuban Mojito (watch how to make a Mojito), this is also a muddled drink.  I go over the semantics in the video – guess you’ll just have to watch to learn more.  Saude and drink responsibly!

P.S. For those of you who enjoy a lush life, remember the Caipirinha / Caipirissima  isn’t just lime and sugar juice and downing too much may cause your motor skills to crash. If your lack of sobriety should result in a drunken stooper here’s a link to a few “tried and true” idiot friendly hangover cures. The bacon one is THE best!
