Don’t laugh, but cocktails with a bite are my favorite, and the Orleans Hand Grenade tops that chart. The first one I had in New Orleans drastically came alive, name the “strongest drink” on Bourbon Street. As sweet, fruity and fun as the drink is, it slides up and takes you unaware. This is the…

To be honest, I think this cocktail is pure sunshine in terms of glassware. The first time that I prepared and tasted it, I thought, “This is how summer should taste.” Bright, citrusy, minty, and the perfect sweetness–it has Italian limoncello-inspired charm combined with a soul of a refreshing Cuban mojito. And let me tell…

So I’ll admit it, I have an obsession with this recipe. The first time I tried to pair coffee with banana, I honestly didn’t think people would care-loved berry smoothies and all that. After that first sip, though? All bets. Instant creaminess mixed with sweetness from banana and light kick from coffee? Dessert and breakfast…

Suppose I want to be frank with you: on a hot summer day, I can’t think of anything more that spells “instant happiness” than an ice-cold slushy drink. And when that slushie happens to be loaded with rum and flavored with cherry Coke sweetness? Now, we are talking about a drink that means summer fun…

My Take on This Recipe Cherry Coke has always tugged at my heartstrings; it is reminiscent, reviving and sweetly spells summertime for me. The day I learnt that making it a slush at home could turn my life around was heaven. You do not need a grand machine in order to do this, yet it…

There are some drinks that instantly feel like summer in a glass, and for me, this sangria is one of them. I first whipped it up on a hot afternoon when I had a few friends coming over and only a bottle of crisp white wine, some strawberries, and a bunch of mint in the…

If you want a drink that feels light, fruity, and like a mini-vacation in a glass, then the Virgin Island Breeze Cocktail is for you.
