The Blinker Cocktail is a classic rye and grapefruit cocktail from the Prohibition era. Simple, tart, and spicy- the Blinker is easy to shake up at home. Happy Sunday! Ready for another Sunday cocktail? I hope so, because today I’m bringing you a classic cocktail from the Prohibition era. The Blinker is super easy to…

Paper Plane Cocktail
Today we’re making an adaptation of the Paper Plane Cocktail to celebrate. What are we celebrating? Well, a couple of months ago the editors of Honest Cooking and the newly established Pair Magazine asked me to be a contributor! About once a month you’ll see posts that have already appeared on Treats and Eats on…
Top Winter Cocktails
Did you know that today is the first day of meteorological spring? It’s kind of hard to believe when there’s more snow in the forecast for this week and temperatures are predicted to stay below freezing for quite a while. But who am I kidding, I don’t really have it in me to complain about the snow or…
Pepper Jelly Margarita
It’s National Margarita Day! I had no idea such a thing existed, but I’m kind of excited. Not so much for me, but because today also happens to be Stephen’s birthday. And since he loves margaritas there was no way I was going to miss out on a chance to make him a special margarita to…
Stout Affogato
For those of you who are shocked at the inclusion of a beer cocktail, don’t worry, I haven’t suddenly become a beer fan. I’m still recovering from my post-travel illness so today’s guest post is brought to you by our resident beer drinker, my husband Stephen. __________________________________________________________________________________________ For today’s weekly cocktail I am taking over…
Tequila Old-Fashioned
It’s the end of January and we just had our first real snowfall of the winter here in Boston. I loved it, but this guy definitely did not. [Yes, I started an Instagram page for our dog. And yes, I’m mildly embarrassed. But apparently not that embarrassed since I’m willing to share it here.] Anyway. We had several inches…
Bourbon And Blood Orange Cocktail
The Monday of a three-day weekend counts as Sunday right? Let’s go with yes, at least in terms of enjoying this bourbon and blood orange cocktail. I’m still on a citrus cocktail kick, but I was in the mood for something that felt more winter-like, so I made a quick cardamom simple syrup and used a…
Grapefruit Margarita
It’s time for another Sunday cocktail. A grapefruit margarita probably seems like an odd choice in the beginning of January. Maybe you were expecting another warm drink like this apple cider hot toddy? Well, don’t worry, there are still plenty of hot drinks to come, but we are in prime grapefruit season and I just couldn’t…
Champagne Sorbet Cocktail
I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing holiday. We had a nice quiet holiday at home filled with lots of food and good cheer. My holidays are continuing this week, though I have to say I have a hard time getting into the New Year’s Eve spirit. But it’s certainly not for a lack…
Pomegranate Rosemary Cocktail
I have been having a super low-key weekend and I’m loving it. In the pre-holiday rush, it’s nice to be able to just relax and not worry about running around trying to finish my shopping. Am I right? Although, full disclosure, I did end up at the mall yesterday. But strangely it was totally empty….
