#Vampire Gin recipe

[volturissideslut]

How do you think the Volturi kings (poly) would react to a mate with the gift of food. Like her gift allows her to make human food that doesn’t taste like dirt that vampire could actually eat. For some reason I always picture Aro to be a foodie in his human life so I feel like he would be very excited and plan elaborate balls and parties and invite the entire coven to these things.

𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖎 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘

It took me a while but im finally back and writing again 🫶🫶

Aro really enjoys eating human food, having been curious for decades about food in the new world. He wants to try everything from kimchi and curries to gelato and burgers. He has been curious about modern food and flavours around the globe for as long as he can remember and would get so excited over every new item of food, especially if this works with drinks too. Aro becomes a wine and gin connoisseur.

Marcus is less curious than Aro about what the world has to offer, but he does enjoy your gift equally. To him it just means that he can do those modern dates of sharing a meal and have a wonderful excuse to spend more time with you .He would be honoured to wine and dine you, and to try all of your favourites. Marcus may even ask you to share some old recipes from when he was human to share more of that side of himself with you.

Caius is less fussed about eating food and experimenting with his tastes, but he thinks of himself as a man who enjoys the finer things that life has to offer. Because of this, you better expand on your gift a little bit, darling, because he wants some fancy, bougie, Michelin star worthy meals. This man has high standards, despite not eating proper food in centuries. Though you probably could give him anything and lie that its gourmet and he would be happy.

Candy’s Dandy, Liquor’s Quicker

Fandom: Angel (Buffyverse)

Rating: M (for adult language)

Pairing: Spangel

Word Count: 484

Warnings: crack treated seriously, implied Spike/Lindsey/Angel, est. relationship, innuendo, explicit language

Summary: Maybe Angel should do a bit of research when choosing somewhere new to go for a drink.

A/N: Well, this is not what I thought I’d be posting after nearly two months of nothingness, but here we are. written for LJ comm 1_million_words for the weekend challenge with the prompts: A Cum Shot and Suck, Bang, and Blow (from a list of dirty cocktail names)

"It's called what?!?" Angel looked across the table at Spike incredulously, leaning away from beige monstrosity the waitress had set in front of him.

"A Cum Shot. Look, mate, you picked the place." Spike snickered. "Not my fault they've naughty drinks on their menu."

Angel snatched the menu away from the blonde and scanned through the establishment's offerings. His eyebrows shot up as he found the beverage in question.

"Twelve dollars for this? It's not even two ounces. And look! It's not even real liquor, just schnapps and Irish cream."

"Yeah, but it's froofy, jus' like you." 

Angel growled, considering five different ways to wipe that damn smirk off the younger vampire's face. 

"Watch it, brat. And anyways, your drink looks plenty froofy too." Angel pointed at Spike's larger drink, his lips twisting into a snide smirk of their own. "What is that, anyway, a Cosmo?"

"Noo, it's a Suck, Bang, and Blow. And, I'll have you know there's nothing froofy about it. Mine's got vodka, gin, and tequila in it; 's like the dirty equivalent of a Long Island iced tea. 'S a man's drink, it is, unlike your li'l girly drink over there." 

Angel glowered at Spike, begrudgingly grabbing the shot glass and taking a sniff at the whipped cream-topped curiosity. As Spike made a production of taking a gulp of his drink, smacking his lips with a pleased sigh, Angel took a tentative sip at his.

"Huh. Tastes like candy." 

Shrugging, Angel downed the rest of the shot, licking the whipped cream from his lips as he set the glass down.

Spike chuckled, feeling smug.

"Yeah, well, you always did like the taste of cum, pet. Oh, and you've still got some cream on your nose."

Before Angel could snarl, Spike leaned across the table and licked the glob of whipped cream off before capturing the brunette's lips with his own to chase the sticky sweet taste of butterscotch.

Breaking the kiss with a slight pant, Angel grabbed up Spike's drink and downed the contents in one swallow. As Spike let out an affronted scoff, he grabbed his hand and stood up, tugging the slighter vampire out of the booth with him. Pulling Spike against him, he leaned in and nipped at his earlobe, his cool breath ghosting over his flesh as he spoke.

"Y'know, Spike, I think I'm much more of a Suck, Bang, and Blow type of guy. Let's get out of here, and I'll show you my own Cum Shot recipe."

Spike gulped hard, his pants tightening at the whispered words. As Angel turned to yank him out of the bar, Spike quickly snatched up one of the menus.

"What's say we make a night of it, luv, and see if we can't get through the whole list? Ooh, look, we can invite Lindsey up from his cozy little cell for this one…something called The Cock-sucking Cowboy."

Hibiscus and ginger

for @aktgwsibsweek day 2: vampire au coffee talk au (aka cafe frequented by supernatural beings) bcs i crave sweet stuff ft: sskk and atsulucy crumbs

The cafe was still pretty quiet when Gin arrived.

A few people were already sitting here and there, Lucy hummed while brewing coffee, and so far all the seats right in front of the counter were empty. That was where they chose to settle, leaving his bag in the chair right beside her to keep the spot claimed; her brother would be there sooner rather than later, after all.

[A-Gin]: saving a seat for you [Akutagawa R.]: Thank you, Gin.

None of them replied further, but there was no need either. Ryûnosuke hardly ever arrived late, not without a heads-up.

“A couple of tea cups for both of you, I assume?” Lucy greeted her after a few minutes, with her usual smile. “Though I guess you’re gonna wait for him to arrive to actually order.” Gin nodded. She had yet to choose what to drink specifically, and Ryû would do so upon arriving. 

Besides, that wasn’t going to take much time either, since just a few minutes later the door opened and a black bat with white strands of fur flew till the spot Gin had been saving, turning back into Ryûnosuke’s human form once the bag was taken out of the way.

“Greetings.”

Gin offered him a soft smile, at the same time Lucy nodded politely. And shortly after, something that sounded like a tray falling to the floor broke the tranquility.

They could do it with an impressive display of stealth and inconspicuousness, but the younger of the Akutagawas didn’t bother to do so; instead, he shamelessly turned their head to the source, which turned out to be no one other than Nakajima Atsushi all wide-eyed and red-faced. Huh. His dumb cutie heart might not have been enough to handle the sight of Ryûnosuke and Lucy in his range of vision at the same time, an occurrence any regular at the cafe was anything but a stranger to.

“Oh, shit. I’m so sorry.” Gin heard him say, when he apparently broke out of that basically frozen mode. She then glanced at their brother, who instantly rolled his eyes while Gin himself snickered in return. Not only did they find the whole thing funny, but deep down she also knew Ryûnosuke wasn’t as bothered by Atsushi’s antics as he let it show.

“One would think those cat reflexes of yours should come in handy.” Lucy instantly commented, with a tone that sounded as flirty as it sounded chastising, and Gin would bet everyone could notice said flirty part except for Atsushi himself.

Anyway, it only took a few minutes to solve the crisis, and then Lucy was once again with them while a very red-faced Atsushi retreated.

“Have anything picked already? ‘Cause I’ve tried a new recipe with hibiscus and ginger you may like.”

“What, ‘cause it’s red and all?” Gin asked back, in what was clearly posing as nothing but a harmless challenge to try them both and their respective tastes. With some other barista, the whole ‘red drink for vampires’ would sound like an overused joke. But when it came to Lucy, one always knew better than to wait for giving it a try before playing critic.

“Maybe.” Lucy leaned on the counter, her eyes moving from one sibling to another in a rhythmic motion. “But mostly ‘cause it’s damn good.”

Ryûnosuke and Gin shared a glance; there was no need for more than that. And at that time, it was her brother who spoke.

“Alright, do your best, Montgomery-san.”

Vampire Gin

I’ve spent this appropriately rainy afternoon reading vampire tales, from Christhabel, to Clairemonde, to Carmilla -I prefer my vampires to be women!- and stuffing sweets into scarily-dressed children’s bags, and thus felt I deserved a bloody cocktail! This Vampire Gin is suave, a little bit sweet and delightfully tart, like any good lady vampire should be. Happy Halloween!

Ingredients (serves 1):

a dozen fresh blueblerries, rinsed

15 millilitres/1/2 fluid ounce (1 tablespoon) Crème de Cassis de Dijon (blackcurrant liqueur)

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good quality London Dry Gin

5 ice cubes

Place 9 of the blueberries in a shaker, and muddle thoroughly to extract their juice. Add Crème de Cassis, Gin and ice cubes. Close shaker tightly, and shake energetically.

Double strain 1into a Martini or coupe glass. Granish with 3 remaining blueberries skewer1ed on a cocktail pick.

Enjoy Vampire Gin immediately.

[acocktailmoment]

Garnish your beverage with lemon zest.

Copperhead Black batch

According to the legend (Well, the website), Mr Copperhead was an alchemist (as well as a bad guy in Marvel Universe and a snake, thanks Wikipedia).

The lad was searching for the recipe of « Life Elixir » while mixing ingredients together in order to challenge Duncan Mc Leod (Yes, you're old!), he actually discovered by mixing 5 botanicals plants in a copper cup (juniper, coriander seeds, angelica, orange peels and cardomom) that Gin are supposed to talk about, you know because of the title (mostly).

Nothing to say concerning the concept, the brand did it good. That edition of Copperhead has everything to seduce you. Even if the inconvenient is how fast it went off (still in mourning while typing those words).

Ideas for enjoying it : mix it with blueberries (for the spicy notes) and smoked rosemary or just keep it simple with lime or orange to reveal the black tea taste (the special ingredient in that edition) and mix it with Fever Tree Tonic (our favorite so far but any tonic can do the job) to jazz it up.

Finally, take a deep breathe and be prepared to drink YOUR elixir for eternal life*.

*Results may vary, Scott and Zelda decline any responsibility if you turn into a bloodthirsty vampire.

Selon la légende (enfin, le site web), M. Copperhead était un alchimiste (mais aussi un méchant de la série Marvel et un serpent selon Wikipédia).

Ce monsieur cherchait la recette de l'elixir de vie, mais pendant qu'il faisait ses mélanges pour créer une tambouille, défiant le pouvoir de Duncan Mc Leod (Ouais, on est vieux!) qu'il composa dans une timballe en cuivre, basée sur cinq plantes:genévrier, cardamome, zeste d'orange, graines de coriandre et angélique.

Que ce soit au niveau du concept (design de la bouteille et l'histoire) que le goût, rien à redire. La seule déception est qu'elle se vide trèèès vite.

A servir idéalement avec des myrtilles et du romarin braisé pour faire ressortir le goût légèrement épicé ou avec du citron vert ou de l'orange pour marquer la présence de thé noir et sa force. Ajoutez à tout cela du Fever Tree Tonic ( notre préféré de loin mais n'importe quel Tonic fera l'affaire) pour un effet pétillant. Voilà, vous pouvez déguster votre coktail qui vous donnera des envies de « Break free ».

Stirring Creatively

You don’t remember Harry Rivera, do you? Probably not. Not many people knew my physics partner from my Junior year in High School. He was my height, wore glasses, curly black hair and for some reason laughed at my jokes. We got called out a few times by the teacher. The only thing that saved me was my mathematics which got me over the line and away from detention. Why you ask, do I mention Harry Rivera after all these years? The one thing he is remembered for was saying to me once… “Brian, I saw this movie last night, it had zombies, topless woman, loads of killing….. you’d love it”. I was taken back from that comment. Even as a 16 year old non prodigy with huge baggy jeans and flannel jackets… I was bewildered by what he had just said as we held rubber bands and a small wooden car. Is that what I am interested in according to Mr. Rivera? Topless women chopping off Zombie heads with little remorse. (Just on the last comment, we assume the topless women had no remorse, not the Zombies). Was this the image I was giving off to fellow students, my friends, my mother..!!. I was not into Goth, vampires, or any of that sort. I didn’t even like horror films. Maybe the occasional Halloween but that is how far it goes. I don’t miss Harry Rivera.

Two weeks ago my colleague Moe emailed me about something he thought I would be interested in. “Check this out, think you might like this” was the title of the subject line. My thought raced back to Sr. Rivera with his exquisite taste in movies. I sighed, opened the link and low and behold… Moe sent me something.. so relevant and so perfect. The link was a collaboration of two of my favourite hobbies, Cocktails and Graffiti. And not only cocktails but my go to gin, Bombay Sapphire. I was impressed. May the curse of Harry Rivera leave this world.

If you hadn’t known, Bombay Sapphire has a company commitment to empower people to work and play creatively (like myself). It is called Stir Creatively and features prominently on their website. It’s combination of art, images, movies, cocktail, colours, ideas across multiple platforms. It’s a great collaboration and something worth checking out. This particular project that appealed to me and one that is absolutely worth mentioning is the partnership of famous artist Hebru Brantley and Bombay Sapphire. It presents an empty spray can bottle which contains a special edition Bombay Sapphire bottle yet to be designed. I absolutely love this work and will work my magic to get the winning bottle sent over to me. Well… to get it done, and on time for a good price… I might get my wife to get it for me. The overall designs are breath-taking and the people behind this great piece deserve a few free pints. Assuming they tire of gin cocktails.

You can see the submissions of the spray can at www.talenthouse.com/i/create-limited-edition-spray-can-designs-for-bombay-sapphire/submissions. The deadline was a few months ago so I am too late to enter my submission. I would hate to win it, nice to give other artists a chance.

I can’t go leave this post unless I add a Bombay Sapphire cocktail (it’s part of my business plan). So I choose a cocktail recipe from the Bombay Sapphire cocktail website that sounds most appealing and probably don’t have the ingredients at home anyway. It’s called the Red Snapper, which reading over their description.. is a Bloody Mary with Gin. I don’t have tomato juice at home as well as other ingredients so I probably won’t make it anytime soon. Plenty of Prosecco in my house, so that’ll be my next cocktail. Watch this space....

...and Adios Harry Rivera. Best of luck.

Enjoy responsibly.

Red Snapper 50 ml Bombay Sapphire gin 100 ml Tomato juice 2 dashes Your favourite hot sauce (eg.Tabasco) 1 Teaspoons Horseradish (to taste) 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce (to taste) Pinch of Celery salt Pinch of Cayenne pepper 2 Fresh lemon wedge 1 Celery Stalk 1 Olive(s) A cocktail onion

How to make. In a long highball glass, add BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and your tomato juice. Squeeze in (and then discard) a fresh wedge of lemon and season with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper according to your taste. Fill your glass with cubed ice and stir slowly to integrate the ingredients and flavours. Finish the drink by adding a wonderful garnish: a celery stalk, an olive, a cocktail onion and a fresh wedge of lemon.

28 + vampire!yoongi

twenty-eight_teaching each other something new

when yoongi had offered to keep you company, you listed down of all the possibilities to him not being interested. however, when you’re alone in the station as the hands of time tick past midnight with him having no plans to leave you alone, they turn into reasons for him to stay.

one of those reasons, turned into what occupies his time apart from staring at you during the whole duration.

yoongi wasn’t a person to learn about everything. even though he has the time, without dedication, it was worthless. he could’ve learned all the languages in the world if he wanted to. note: wanted to. he didn’t, it didn’t interest him to gain such power in being fluent in speaking, nor did it spike up anything in terms of skills.

but when he sees you being able to create blends and mixes that bubbles with lingering aftertaste to a person’s taste receptors, count himself in to learn a thing or two. now with a nicely shaken mix of the infamous gin and tonic, yoongi easily pours it out for you and himself, making sure it’s presentable before he slides the glass over with a smirk on his face - obviously proud.

“cheers,” you chuckle, clinking your glass against his when he holds his near and that’s when you take a sip. smacking your tongue on your teeth to get down the taste, you drink a couple more sips and yoongi’s narrowing his eyes at you when you don’t say anything.

he nudges the shaker away and taps the counter, before leaning forward to grab your hand with a little anxiousness flowing through his every being.

“say something,”

“hm...” you set the glass away, squeezing his hand in return, “not too bad for your first mix,”

he throws your hand away, huffing, “…you’re tough to please, you know that?”

“giving up?”

“not a chance. hit me with another recipe.”

Reread, Rewrite, or Burn Book Tag

Saw this on Booktube, but I have a face made for text, so I decided to try this out here with all of the 57 books I read during 2017.

For those not in the know, this tag requires you to draw the names of 3 books you’ve read (doesn’t have to be from the same year) and from those three you determine which of them you would like to reread, rewrite, or burn.

Here goes the first trio!

1. Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

2. Picking Bones from Ash by Marie Mutsuki Mockett

3. Sisters One, Two, Three by Nancy Star

Hmm. Well, from this group I would have to say Sisters One, Two, Three was the biggest surprise, so I would reread it. The other 2 were both mild disappointments, though I did like the writing style more in Everything I Never Told You, so I will choose to rewrite that (and change some of the actions of those annoying family members), and burn (no pun intended) Picking Bones from Ash

4. The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison

5. The Giver by Lois Lowry

6. The Golden Acorn by Catherine Cooper

While I enjoyed aspects of all three of these, I think The Golden Acorn was my least favorite, so I would burn it. I don’t know what I would change about The Giver, so I suppose I would reread it. There were some repetitive incidents of violence against women in The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, so I suppose I would rewrite that and make their world a little less harsh.

7. An Untamed State by Roxane Gay

8. Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

9. Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward

Wow. This one is really unfair. An Untamed State was a 5-star read for me, and while it was one of the most brutal reading experiences I’ve ever had, I think it will stay with me the longest of any of these, and I don’t think I could do anything with it other than reread. The others were both 4-star reads. If I’m completely honest with myself, though both stories deal with disenfranchised and underrepresented groups of people in literature, I’ve read other books similar to Between Shades of Gray, so I would have to burn it. I would rewrite Sing, Unburied, Sing by making the plot move along a little faster. Ward tells a good story, but she sure takes her time doing it.

10. Icy Sparks by Gwyn Hyman Rubio

11. Palm Trees in the Snow by Luz Gabás

12. Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

Easy. Hated Icy Sparks with a passion. Burn, baby, burn. I would rewrite Palm Trees in the Snow and cut out some of the grumbling between the brothers, and the unnecessary romance. Would reread Down Among the Sticks and Bones.

13. When I Found You by Catherine Ryan Hyde

14. Soy Sauce for Beginners by Kirstin Chen

15. Kindred by Octavia Butler

I would reread Kindred in a heartbeat. I think the story in When I Found You could use some fleshing out during some of those missing years. Soy Sauce for Beginners would be burned.

16. Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

17. Sunbaked by Junie Coffey

18. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Burn Jane Eyre. Kill it with fire! Reread Interview with the Vampire. I would rewrite Sunbaked, as I think it has a lot of unrealized potential.

19. Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant

20. The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock

21. A Conjuring of Light by V. E. Schwab

I would reread A Conjuring of Light. Loved this series (except the end of book 2)! I would rewrite Come, Thou Tortoise. Only minor things. There were a few blurry moments leading up to the end. And The Smell of Other People’s Houses would go up in flames.

22. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

23. The Girl Who Fell from the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow

24 Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I don’t even know what I was thinking when I gave Insurgent 2 stars. Burn it. I would reread The Girl Who Fell from the Sky. It wasn’t perfect, but was good. And I would rewrite and speed up the plot in A Wizard of Earthsea.

25. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

26. Allegiant by Veronica Roth

27. Full Bodied Murder by Christine E. Blum

Fairly easy. I would reread Water for Elephants, burn Allegiant (with glee!), and rewrite Full Bodied Murder, which could have been so much better.

28. Anthem by Ayn Rand

29. Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward

30. The Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin

Even though I thought the beginning of the first novel was a bit of an info dump, I would reread The Inheritance Trilogy. Salvage the Bones would be rewritten so the hurricane isn’t quite so anticlimactic, and Anthem would be burned.

31. Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips

32. A Gathering of Shadows by V. E. Schwab

33. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

Hmm. Well, the last book threw a kink in my plans. I would have to reread Station Eleven, rewrite the ending of A Gathering of Shadows, and burn Fierce Kingdom (which is really deserving of a rewrite, but not in this company).

34. The Abandoned by Amanda Stevens

35. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

36. Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat

The Abandoned was one of the worst things I read all year, and I would burn it. I would probably rewrite The Handmaid’s Tale, making the ending a little more clear, and reread Breath, Eyes, Memory.

37. Divergent by Veronica Roth

38. Legend by Marie Lu

39. Before the Rain Falls by Camille Di Maio

Divergent would burn. I had a few issues with both the other books, but I think the insta-love trope was slightly more palatable in Legend, so I’ll reread that one, and rewrite Before the Rain Falls to cut out all those meaningful glances.

40. Thin Places by M. L. McIntosh

41. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

42. The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbøl

I would burn Thin Places. In the dark. So I didn’t have to see it again. I was surprised by how much I liked Rebecca, so that would be a reread. The version I read of The Boy in the Suitcase had some formatting issues, so I would rewrite and fix those.

43. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

44. Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

45. El Deafo by Cece Bell

This one pains me a little as these were all 4- or 5-star books for me. I would have to reread Every Heart a Doorway. The Thirteenth Tale would get a rewrite to speed up the pace a bit, and El Deafo would have to burn, primarily since being a graphic novel, rewriting it would also mean redoing the artwork, and I can’t draw bunnies, so no.

46. The List by Patricia Forde

47. Going Bovine by Libba Bray

48. A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

Ugh. I would have to reread A Darker Shade of Magic, ‘cause Lila Bard. I really liked Going Bovine, but I knew where the plot was going all along, whereas The List threw a weird twist at the end that made no sense, but could definitely benefit from a rewrite. Still, I would have to burn The List. Going Bovine was too outrageously funny to get rid of forever.

49. Beachbound by Junie Coffey

50. The Book of Etta by Meg Elison

51. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

I would have to reread I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. While I rated Beachbound more highly than The Book of Etta, I think the latter would benefit most from a rewrite, so I would choose to burn Beachbound.

52. The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis

53. The Secret Mother by Shalini Boland

54. William’s Winter Nap by Linda Ashman

Even though the illustrations and story were cute, my life would not be diminished if William’s Winter Nap ended in flames. I would reread The Female of the Species, and The Secret Mother would get a rewrite to fix that attic scene that bugged me.

And for the final trio!

55. Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler

56. Leave Me Alone with the Recipes: The Life, Art, and Cookbook of Cipe Pineles by Cipe Pineles and a host of other contributors.

57. The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin

I would have to burn Leave Me Alone with the Recipes. Interesting biographical sections, but the recipes just aren’t for me. I would have to go with rereading Calling Me Home, and I would rewrite the first few chapters of The Tombs of Atuan to make the story easier to get into.

And if you made it all the way to the end of this exercise in self-indulgence, thank you for sticking with me! Feel free to discuss any decisions you would have made differently.

What better way to beat the heat than with a cold drink in your hand? From spicy margaritas to delectable daiquiris, we’ve got something for everyone.

In order of appearance:

Limoncello Collins is a delicious spin on the Tom Collins, a cocktail made with gin. No matter where you are in the world, take a moment to let the sweet limoncello flavors transport you to the Italian coast. Buon appetito!

This Blueberry-Ginger Mojito Pitcher recipe makes two servings, so grab some friends and spread the blueberry-ginger wealth.

If you’re a margarita lover with an adventurous side, try out the Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita. The longer it sits, the more intensified the spicy flavor becomes.  

Bobby’s Strawberry Pina Colada combines piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris to bring you a perfectly blended pink treat.

Even though Vampire Weekend sings about drinking horchata in December, this Classic Horchata recipe is a summer favorite in Spain and Latin America and we can see why.

The Peach Basil Moscow Mule is a summer twist on a classic cocktail. Adding peach vodka, lemon juice and fresh basil makes it a summertime staple.

Despite it’s provocative name, Sex On The Beach is fairly harmless yet delicious. A drizzle of grenadine down the sides creates that sunset look we all know and love. 

Perfect for warm nights on the back patio, sunny afternoon cookouts or cocktails with friends, Fresh Grape Sangria is refreshing and delivers a fruity punch.

More than just a rum and coke, it’s a classic Cuban cocktail. An authentic Cuba Libre requires a generous amount of lime juice to even out the sweetness of the drink.

The Bella Donna is a magical Mason jar concoction. If you like bourbon, fresh mint, blackberries, or all of the above, you’ll be pouring your next glass before we can say “Ciao, Bella!”

Watermelon Champagne Cocktail gives off the airs of a fancy drink, but it’s actually very easy to make (and even easier to drink).

Tasty Cajun Lemonade pays homage to the flavors of New Orleans with generous amounts of liquor and a splash of Tabasco hot sauce. 

This Summer Fruit Daiquiri combines peaches and strawberries and mangoes, oh my!

You know what they say, when life hands you blackberries, make Blackberry Bourbon Iced Tea.

It’s possible that you’ve never tried or even heard of the Raspberry-Rose Gin Rickey, but this is one drink you won’t want to miss out on. This fresh take spruces up the classic Gin Rickey by adding, you guessed it, raspberries.
