Break out the champagne! We’ve gotten ourselves into a really fabulous cocktail and onto a really fabulous cocktail list.. at Monarch; sexiest new lounge in SF.  “The Rickshaw” is a complex cocktail that proves shochu can stand up next to its higher-proof cousins; you’ll notice many barrel-aged spirits and high-proof alcohols, and us! Check it [...]

Wow. A year comes and goes so quickly.. it amazes me that it is even December, let alone almost the Holiday season! It feels like just yesterday I was sitting down to write about the Crunk Candy Cane and sharing with you what the holidays mean to me. Lots of changes have been going on [...]

I was recently reminded that I adore Shirley Temples, a childhood favorite of mine that I haven’t thought of in years. I quite impulsively went out and immediately purchased the necessary ingredients for Shirley Temples: 7-Up, Grenadine, and Maraschino cherries.  I anxiously mixed up this concoction and dove in.. unfortunately to be disappointed in a [...]

Spring has officially sprung in San Francisco. Everything is green instead of brown, flowers are blooming, and it’s 60 degrees outside instead of 40.

So I was trying to decide what [...]

This week’s cocktail was inspired by the gorgeous weather in San Francisco and the possibility of a picnic in the near future. My friends requested a cocktail that would be appropriate for a picnic, and so I went looking for something interesting. I came across the “Harvard Cooler,” a brandy-and-lemon concoction that is apparently rather [...]

Today’s cocktail was inspired by a recent trip with friends to a favorite Mexican restaurant of mine. I was seated on the patio, and for the first time in months, the weather was nice enough to not need a scarf, gloves, jacket, boots, etc. I had a delicious, smokey grapefruit cocktail that I adored, and [...]

I love Mimosas. Actually, I adore Mimosas. Does that make me a 67-year-old woman out to brunch? Absolutely not. I’ve always been of the opinion that the very limited availability of the Mimosa is entirely unfair to those of us who actually enjoy drinking these delicious, simple concoctions on a pretty regular basis; most certainly [...]
