Finally Posted the Spring Cocktail Menu!

It took a few weeks of experimenting, but I finally have five winners for my spring cocktail menu (see above in the green). I love all of them, but I'm especially fond of the Mediterranean Fig Cooler, as I'm absolutely in love with Edmund Briottet Creme de Fig. It reminds of me of my Maltese heritage, and the sweet date and fig desserts we usually eat at family functions. Let me know what you think about my five winners!!

April's Specialty Drink Revealed...

I've been in a vintage mood lately. Hell, who am I kidding- I'm always in a vintage mood, but this month it is reflected in my choice of specialty drink...*drumroll please*... the mint julep. The mint julep was first noted in writing in 1803 as a libation of "spiritous liquor that has mint in it, commonly consumed by Virginians in the morning". Thus, it's safe to assume that the drink is southern-inspired. No suprise then that these days the "spiritous liquor" used in the mint julep is non other than bourbon whiskey.

But just wait whiskey haters- this drink is prepared similar to a mojito, muddling mint with simple syrup, adding crushed ice, and floating the whiskey along top. The result is whiskey with a delicate sweetness. It's refreshing, full of flavor, and perfect for springtime. Hence- my April drink of the month. Drink up!!
