Pour yourself a glass of this Tequila Monkey Gland, a cocktail that typically calls for gin, which I’ve simply swapped out for this agave based spirit, and settle in for story time. From ages 12 to 17, I lived on a farm. I’m sure the will come as a shock to many of you who…

Picante Pineapple-Hibiscus Punch
Few things are better than a spicy cocktail, in my opinion. Coming into an unexpected windfall of money like the kind you get from the Community Chest in Monopoly? Also good. Finding someone on a dating app who looks like their photos, can carry a conversation, and isn’t a fuckboy? Next to impossible, but buy…
Spicy Mango Margarita
Cinco de Mayo = tequila time. I will be hosting my 4th annual Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday (May the Fourth) because I’m too old to have the club going up on a Sunday. Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration observed on May 5th to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French…

The Torchlight Cocktail
SKIP TO RECIPE Sometimes I’m amazed that I can drink tequila. My parents have had a timeshare in Cabo since I was 13 and I definitely overindulged on Mexico’s favourite spirit once or twice. There was a time in university where the mere scent of cheap tequila on the bar at Liquor Store Party Bar…
Italian Piñata
SKIP TO RECIPE I love an excuse for a party. I host a Cinco de Mayo party every year to celebrate the myriad culinary delights of Mexican cuisine. Commonly mistaken as Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo is, in fact, a holiday that celebrates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of…
Tarragon Tease
SKIP TO RECIPE It is almost Easter and we’re currently experiencing “mixed precipitation” with a cheery forecast of “drizzle” for tomorrow. I don’t know about you but I’m really hoping this April will come with a university exam season that sees the co-eds playing frisbee golf in the quad in shorts and t-shirts. Yes, this…
