5 Holiday Ginger Cocktails
If there's one thing the holidays do, it's bring people together. That's wonderful, of course, but it can be hard to come up with a drink selection that pleases both party-hearty cousin Charlie and your Great Aunt Myrtle. The trick is to stock your holiday bar with liquor, mixers, and garnish that play well together. I like to keep things simple and choose a theme, some sort of flavor or ingredient to tie everything together. I've chosen... Read More ›

New Year’s Eve Potluck Party

Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini
One of my fondest and most clear memories of the holidays during my childhood are those boxes of chocolate-covered cherries. I’m sure you’ve seen them.  They are small cherries, surrounded by chocolate, filled with some sort of thick syrup that sends children into instant sugar-hyper-mode.
