Blood Orange Margarita

We missed National Margarita Day by about a month but it just seemed like a good idea to celebrate today. I must admit that this is the first time I have tried this version and it is pretty darn tasty.

White Lady

The White Lady was invented between 1919-1930 by either Harry MacElhone or Harry Craddock in London, England.

Dark 'N' Stormy

The Dark 'N' Stormy is a classic cocktail that is super simple to make and attempts to relocate your mind to a tropical paradise... if you live in the northeastern United States, you need that now more than ever!

Corpse Reviver #2

If you're not a fan of the Bloody Mary, maybe the Corpse Reviver is your favorite "hair of the dog" drink. This week we feature the Corpse Reviver #2 and depending how your night goes, you may want to give it a shot tomorrow.

Negroni

This Cocktail of the Week is one of our favorites but it is definitely not for everyone. The intensely bitter flavor of Campari makes it truly unique but also can be too much for some. It is not a complex cocktail to make but is very complex on taste.

The Wintersmiths Bloody Mary

It is very possible that we over-served ourselves last night at the Hotel Vermont Ice Bar event. We had a lot of fun but now is a great time for the perfect Bloody Mary. The origin and naming of the Bloody Mary, like many other classic cocktails, is a bit contested.

Whiskey Smash

A modern take on a great American drink with one of my favorite Irish whiskeys. First created in 1862 by Jerry Thomas, the man considered to be the father of "American mixology".

The Hibernator

I'm not sure where you are, but it has been well below 0°F up here in Vermont for the past few days and we needed to mix up a concoction that fit our state of mind... introducing the Hibernator! A libation guaranteed to help you hunker down for a long winter's nap.
