This next cocktail was one of two cocktails that I curated for a mixology class. The first one being "Island Heat." You can find that one a couple of posts down. This one is simple, straightforward, refreshing, but different than what the ladies in the class ever had....
This next cocktail was inspired by everyone's favorite material girl. No, not Madonna. Barbie. Barbie was created to showcase that women could be self-sufficient and choose to be whatever they wanted to be without a man's help. Needless to say, that is one controversy...
I don't know about you, but we've been having some record-breaking heat here in Central Florida. It makes me want to go to a beautiful island and relax by the beach. Speaking of beautiful islands, this next cocktail uses rum that is made in Mauritius. Home to the pink...
This next drink is a riff on an Old Fashioned. The folks at @feebrothersofficial gifted me their new flavor, "Turkish Tobacco Bitters." With notes of clove, coffee, nutmeg, and tobacco, I knew that it would play well with rye whiskey. Paired with orange bitters and my...
I thoroughly enjoyed the new Super Mario movie! It had so many references from the different games to the late 80s show. They even had Mario's original voice actor @charlesmartinetitsame It was so good that it might have inspired 4 drinks. Well, this next cocktail is...
