Amaretto and scotch blend beautifully for an after dinner cocktail paired with Browned Butter Snickerdoodles.

This all started when my husband Tim read a newspaper article about black garlic, how it was made and what it was good for. And in his usual way, challenged me to try it.  At that moment, truth be told I was not at all keen!  But I can't resist a challenge from him, so I bit. The black garlic was delightfully mild in its garlic flavor, sweet and chewy with a hint of very good balsamic. I encourage you to venture out and give it a try. Use the leftover egg white for the Red Flag Fleet cocktail.

The Triple Crown races are here and we are making the Black-Eyed Susan cocktail, which is the official drink of the Preakness Stakes.

The Triple Crown kicked off with Mint Juleps in hand! The simplicity of bourbon, simple syrup, and mint is just perfection.

With Triple Crown season upon us, we are making the Belmont Jewel, the official cocktail of the Belmont Stakes.

The Rusty Nail is an old cocktail that combines scotch and Drambuie to invoke thoughts of your dad enjoying a cocktail before dinner. Drambuie is a whiskey liqueur that is excellent on it's own. However, when combined with scotch it makes a great cocktail to sip on. The name Drambuie is derived from Scots Gaelic which means "A Drink That Satisfies" and indeed it does. The blend of Scotch whisky, heather honey, spices and herbs are a unique taste that everyone should try at least once. Make yourself a Rusty Nail cocktail and enjoy!

Honey sweetens the grapefruit and pairs beautifully with the scotch for a wonderful summer drink. Enjoy Brown Derby with Lorie's Hot Crab Cheesy Dip.

A refreshing summer drink, the Bourbon Sidecar is a hit of sweet and tangy for your next barbeque. Pair it with Crispy Potato Skins at your next gathering.

This Orange Brulee Bourbon cocktail is delicious! The Woodford Reserve Bourbon and orange flavor are perfect together.

These Thumbprint Cookies melt in your mouth and are delicious! My Mom always made them during the holidays, but they're great all year long.
