The classic cocktails, you know, the ones from the 50’s and earlier, are making a comeback in today’s lounges and bars, and Dubonnet is one of those classic ingredients.
Dubonnet, like Absinthe, is one of those liquids developed in the mid-1800’s (1846 to be exact) to help make quinine more palatable for the soldiers battling […]
Summer is a time of patios, sunshine and hanging out with friends, and what better way to do that but with a lovely cocktail in hand?
Here are Drinks After Dark’s picks for the top 10 summer cocktails.
#10: Daiquiri - There are several versions of the Daiquiri, but those that gained international fame are the […]
It’s time to give back to our loyal Drinks After Dark readers. One of the best summertime drinks has got to be the Caipirinha. Personally, I prefer my Leblon Cachaca in some of the other recipes they sent along.
Between the two of us, Leblon and I decided to make it easier for Cachaca drinkers to […]
Brewha-ha is hosting this month’s theme day, Some Like It Hot. This month’s theme is all about the Summer BBQ, and what better way to enjoy a summer BBQ other than with the quintessential summer drink, the classic Gin and Tonic?
This cocktail was introduced by the army of the British East India Company in India.
Tonic […]
One of my favourite summer drinks is a good Sangria (but not blue Sangria. Just regular good Sangria).
From a good friend of mine comes the following recipe:
Bottle of red wine
1 1/4 cups blackberry brandy
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate
1 orange, cut in pieces
1 apple, cut in pieces
1/4 cup cherries halves (Optional. I use […]
Ok, I know Americans are a patriotic people, and the July 4th weekend is one of the most highly celebrated US holidays. I’ve seen cakes and cake contests, and you guys take the entire week off in July.
That’s all fine and well, and I actually kinda like it that you guys are all quiet […]
I’ve only seen Caipirinhas (pronounced Kai-Pur-Een-Ya) on restaurant menus, but had never tried them before. When I was offered a bottle of Leblon Cachaça (Ka-Sha-Sa) to try, I said “sure!” and then turned to my best friend, Google, and asked her what the hell cachaça was. Turns out, it’s a Brazilian rum-based spirit used […]
The summer solstice always reminds me of Finland. I got an opportunity to go above the Arctic Circle and experience a full day when the sun did not set. I watched it hit the horizon and almost … bounce. It visibly rose again. Three am felt like 3 pm. And it stays this way […]
I am a huge margarita fan. There was a period of time in my life (mostly my late 20’s) when I couldn’t even stand the smell of tequila - whether in a bottle, on someone’s breath or in a mixed drink. I blame it on my 21st birthday and the bottle of Silver Sauza. Ugh. […]
We’ve had a brief respite of sun and warm weather in Vancouver, and I’m so very excited. I’m really in my element when the sun comes out. If I had my druthers, I’d follow the sun all year round.
When the sun comes out, I go looking for a warm weather drink. Sometimes, I go […]
