I’m a stand-up comedian now, seriously. For those of you who have been reading along diligently for the past five-and-half-years, you’ve probably seen my sense of humour develop as I became more comfortable sharing self-deprecating anecdotes from my life.

Fall Harvest Sangria: French Press Cocktail
Have you ever made a French Press Cocktail? No? Well, now is the time to start.

Gettin’ Figgy With It: Fig & Thyme Sidecar
I’ve been working hard on coming up with some creative fall cocktails that use seasonal produce like figs, Concord grapes, apples and pears, to name a few.

The Boss Lady Cocktail is for professional drinkers only. For those of us who know how to fully take advantage of bottomless mimosas at brunch. Don’t tell me there is a limit to “bottomless” – there is no limit. Speaking of mimosas, the Boss Lady cocktail would be a serious upgrade to your brunch drinking….
Clover Club Cocktail
With over 105 episodes of Virtual Happy Hour under my belt, one thing I’ve learned is that people love a gin-based cocktail with egg white.

Bourbon Renewal Cocktail
The Bourbon Renewal is a modern classic created by famous bartender Jeffrey Mogenthaler back in 2004.

This one of the earliest drinks I shook up on my Virtual…
