Sour Apple-tini – Pucker Up!
Back in the day when I first started testing my luck with cocktails, I would use Puckers to add a little splash of flavor or color. I always strive to make drinks that use super fresh ingredients, but if time is an issue and you donʼt have fresh fruit on hand, itʼs okay to take a few short cuts. Recently, I had a hankering to create an apple cocktail thatʼs extremely easy to make and doesnʼt take much prep time. I also wanted it to be f... Read More ›

All Fantasy, No Football: Week 9
Two things: Football season is coming quickly to a close and Valentine's Day is around the corner. You have been putting in work watching these games...there better be one heck of a victory dance at the end of this. Let's get down to business, throw on some slow jams and prep the scene for some romance. 1) Chocolate is always a good place to start. Sneakily disguised as footballs, these brownies give that rich, indulgent treat that make ou... Read More ›

The Dark Knight Rises in Liquid Form
Fan boys (and girls!) are very excited about The Dark Knight Rises, a new flick featuring the Caped Crusader. Batman has come a long way from the days of Adam West dancing around in his spandex Bat Suit. But isn’t there something else that has come a long way since that television show? Oh yeah, cocktails. We expect Bat Mania to take hold of the country when the movie debuts at the end of July, so we’ve concocted a couple of cocktails tha... Read More ›

Marshmallow Cake-tini
Infusions are all the rage right now, and with good reason. Recipe Links: Marshmallow Cake-tini & Marshmallow Infused Vodka Chopping up an ingredient and macerating it in some alcohol (usually vodka, because it so seamlessly takes on other flavors) is an excellent way to give a cocktail an impressive, personal twist using far less effort and time -- perfect for entertaining. And what's great about infusing your own spirits is that it can... Read More ›

Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini

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. As a child, I would eat a box in one sitting and then not sleep for two days. Now that I’m an adult, I prefer to take in those flavors in a sligh... Read More ›

Crantastic Cranberry-Kiwi Martini
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’re all looking for festive holiday cocktails to make for holiday entertaining. The cranberry is definitely the berry of the holidays and what better way to serve it than in a martini? If you want to add a little twist to the cocktail, throw in a splash of fresh kiwi juice. It’s so delicious! Because Kiwi is a hard fruit to squeeze, use a small strainer and hold over a bowl. Place the peeled... Read More ›

Chai-tini Cocktail
What’s better than a cup of hot chai tea?  Definitely a Chai-tini! This cocktail is everything you love about chai: a little creamy; a little sweet; but subtly spiced with all the delicious spices that make the holidays taste and smell so delicious.  Plus, of course, a little vodka. The Chai-tini is the holiday alternative to dessert drinks, like a chocolate martini – particularly as (can you believe it?) not everyone is a chocolate fan... Read More ›

Beliebertini? Never Say Never…
Partying like a rock star has its merits, but partying like a pop star is where it's at. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. There are a few of us here at Tablespoon who have fallen under the purple spell of the Beebs. Try as we may to pretend that it's just about liking a few hit songs, a squeal or two has been known to be heard whenever something Bieb-a-licious crosses our path. Case in point, michellep.'s recent Bieber inspired Purple... Read More ›

Sake To Me Saketini

If you're totally over the usual backyard bbq, sushi and saketinis can be a perfect summer party fun saver. Always happens. About halfway through summer, my friends and I start to get really bbq'd out (and whiney, actually). Suddenly charcoals, grills and just cooking in general all seem to be daunting tasks. That's when the "eclectic" (aka: easy) ideas start rolling out. One that always gets a unanimous vote is: Sushi! Now even though my coo... Read More ›

Lychee Martini Jelly Shots

Lychee Martini Jelly Shots
Is the Lychee a nut, or a fruit?  Does anyone out there know? All I know about Lychees is that they taste amazing, and most often come in a can  –  unless you live in South Florida, Hawaii, southern California and southern Texas - the areas in the United States which are the most climate friendly to this tropical crop.  Apparently, the Lychee fruit does not ripen after picking – so if it is to be picked far enough in advance to survive...
