I originally developed this recipe for Ballard Design company’s blog howtodecorate.com. It’s a great warm weather cocktail and this recipe makes enough for a large party. This is a twist on a traditional Pimm’s cocktail which is served at The Napoleon House in New Orleans and is a Mardi Gras tradition. Nothing says it’s party…

The newest addition to my cookbook collection is a cocktail book called ‘Shake’ by the boys at Mason Shaker. You might have seen their creative crafting of a Mason jar into a large cocktail shaker.

Scouring the interwebs this week I came across some amazing drink recipes I thought I would share with you-and plan to make myself. 3 of the 5 contain bourbon or whisky which I tend to have a hankering for dark liquors as fall approaches.

Peach Infused Gin and Tonic
Unlike my experiment with the pineapple infused tequila recipe, this peach infused gin didn’t yield the mind shattering peach flavor I was secretly hoping for but it was still worth the effort.

I’m planning an upcoming catering event which is a Kentucky Derby themed party so I’ve been browsing the interwebs and Pinterest boards looking for Kentucky Derby inspired recipes and cocktails.

Raspberry Martini | Cocktail Recipe
[pinit count=”horizontal”] Yes, I’m a man. Yes, I like fruity pink cocktails. No umbrella though unless I’m on a beach. I’m not a “man’s man”.
