The Grapefruit Gin Cocktail

April 7, 2016 by Talia Bunting Leave a Comment

Grapefruit Gin Cocktail

My whole family came to town for Easter weekend. We celebrated and feasted, it is always fun having them around. Half way through Saturday we ran out of oranges and bourbon (we’d been drinking old fashioneds, obvi). We did not run out of gin and I had a stubborn grapefruit still sticking around in the fruit basket, a remnant of winter citrus recipes. Gin and tonics, while a classic, can be very vanilla and we wanted something slightly more interesting. So, Joe peeled off a section of the grapefruit, lit the oils on fire and added some bitters to his gin and tonic and voila to make a new favorite drink: grapefruit gin cocktail.

The Classic Lemon Drop Martini

The Classic Lemon Drop Martini

Over eleven thousand people have pinned my memorial day cocktail blog. The Long Island Ice Tea seems to be of particular interest. Because of this, I’ve started working on a small ebook of classic cocktails everyone should know how to make. And one day soon, maybe before Marston graduates high school, I’ll finish it. One of the cocktails will be the Lemon Drop Martini (one of my personal favorites) so I’m sharing it with you all today as a little preview!

St. Germain Kumquat Cocktail

St. Germain Kumquat Cocktail

We’re in California right now visiting my favorite in-laws. You can’t walk farther than the mailbox without being assaulted by all the citrus. Everyone has citrus trees. In their front yard, back yard, side yard, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. My in-laws have a lime, lemon, a Meyers lemon, tangerine and an orange tree. And all these trees are about to snap in half with all the fruit hanging from their limbs. You can plan on seeing twelve different citrus recipes over the coming weeks, lucky you.

Today we’re starting off with a kumquat gin cocktail. It’s low(er) calorie and very refreshing. You will love it.

Sipping Chocolate for Cold Winter Nights

Homemade French Sipping Chocolate

What do you drink on those cold winter nights? Before I knew about sipping chocolate, I always had plain old hot chocolate. I still love plain old hot chocolate, of course, but for the times I need a little more oomph, I drink sipping chocolate. Also when I want to drink a candy bar.

Cosmopolitans – What I Will Drink after This Baby Shows Up

March 30, 2015 by Talia Bunting Leave a Comment

Cosmopolitans

Mostly when I drink I like beer. It’s refreshing and I can have more than one. But towards the end of both of my pregnancies I have craved Cosmopolitans. Perhaps its a throwback to my early twenties. Cosmos were the first drink I learned to make as a bartender. My friends and I used to get in the hot tub and drink cosmos after a long shift. Maybe my swollen ankles and weepy self remember late evenings spent relaxing after a hard days work, because I promise you, post-baby, it is one of the first things I will be doing!
