Summers to me are all about enjoying the great outdoors: fresh crisp air, the warm sunny days, being outside, the fresh smell of flowers in the air, enjoying bbqs with family and friends and enjoying refreshing drinks! When I think of summer refreshing drinks, the first thing that comes to my mind are mocktails. These …
St. Patrick’s Day may still be a few weeks away, but today? Today’s your lucky day! Or at least, it’s your lucky day if you subscribe to the idea that a small plant has the capability to alter the positive effects of your interactions with the world around you… I’m talking about a four-leaf clover, …
What do the numbers 3, 1, and 4 have in common? You may immediately think of today’s date, 3/14. But, if you’re a nerd like me, you’re first thought is Pi. That’s right, the funny little symbol π. First The Technical Stuff Pi is the mathematical equivalent of infinity (∞). It is approximately the number …
There’s this conundrum that I face in my life every single day: I want to be healthy and eat more vegetables, but I also want ice cream. Or chocolate, or really anything with more sugar than a human being probably needs in a day. Vegetables are super important, guys. But sometimes I just have to settle …

So that’s why I invented this totally awesome, totally amazing five minute sangria recipe. It’s delicious and has me …
Who doesn’t love a classic combination like strawberry and kiwi? Two things that are great on their own but fantastic together, everybody’s favorite part of a fruit salad…what’s not to like?

Between Halloween parties, game nights, football parties, dinner parties, and any other kind of festive occasion you can imagine, fall is a very social season. And this year, instead of serving your friends all the boring drinks (wine, beer, liquor, blah, blah) that they can find anywhere (c’mon, we’re not teenagers…impress them!), we suggest you go …
I love margaritas. They’re the quintessential Texas cocktail and something I would have at every meal if it were even the slightest bit not-frowned-upon. So with that in mind, I set out to come up with the tastiest (and most Texas) drink I could…So allow me to introduce you to Cocktail Hour, Texas Style – The Jalapeno Margarita. …
No holiday party is complete without a selection of drinks to keep your guests happy, but sometimes it’s hard to find a good balance between overly-fruity (some might say “girly”) cocktails and, well, beer. But if you want something that’s fancy enough for a party but not too sweet – and not too expensive that …
There’s nothing like a hot apple cider to keep you warm on these long winter nights. But if you want all of the “warm” with none of the “hot,” you’re going to have to switch out the heating process in favor of some good ol’ fashioned liquor. And let me tell you, if you like whiskey, …
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell…okay, now that you’ve got a different Christmas song stuck in your head besides that one you heard in that department store a week ago, I can explain to you why it’s been stuck in my head: Because I’ve made this Jingle Bell Rock Cocktail. Sweet Santa on a pogo stick, …
Some of us love dessert (Okay, most of us. Like probably all of us…If you don’t love dessert get out of my face). Some of us love our dessert with a little side of the good stuff, and no, for once I’m not talking about coffee. This Little Drummer Joy may sound innocent enough, but it …
It’s getting cold outside and all the songs are telling you to warm up by a nice, crackling fire. We have a different idea. This winter, don’t warm up by the fire…get kinky in the cold instead. This Get Kinky In The Cold Cocktail will warm you up and taste smooth going down. Drink it …
Have you ever wondered how good ol’ St. Nick unwinds after a long night of flying all over the world, risking life and limb stuffing himself down chimneys and braving the winter elements with nothing but a fur-trimmed suit, a wooden sleigh, and a bunch of rowdy reindeer? Well, this Kris Kringle Screwdriver might have something …
For some people, spending a joyous Christmas with family is less about enjoying the warm fuzzies and more about sticking your claws into said joy and hanging on for dear life as that family does their best to drive you crazy. And yes, when I say “some people,” I mean me. And when faced with the …

What You’ll Need to Make a Candy Corn Apple Pucker Margarita: 2 ounces gin 2 ounces Pinot Grigio 1 ounce Apple Pucker Kosher salt 3-4 ice …
Yes, I’m aware that this drink looks like something a regular, everyday guy would drink to become a superhero. But ignoring the obvious fact that you should never ever say no to super powers, I can promise you that one sip of this Green Pucker Wine won’t land you in the hospital, but will definitely make you go “Wow!” …
Say hello and Happy Halloween to the grossest-looking thing you will ever enjoy drinking. This Booger Beer Cocktail is made with Guinness, marshmallow cream, and yes, you’re reading that right – peas. I’m aware this sounds like the worst idea anyone has ever had, putting peas in a drink when you’re just trying to enjoy your holiday …
Fall is fast approaching, but here in Texas it’s still hot as – well, it’s really, really hot. If you’re still stuck in the sun waiting for that cooler weather to breeze in like I am, then you might as well take advantage of that sunshine with this Sun Brewed Apple Whiskey Tea. Now granted, you …
Now, when you think about candy corn, you probably don’t have thoughts like, “Gee, I wonder how I can turn these into lava.” This is, admittedly, probably a good sign for you and a bad sign for me. However, thoughts like that do tend to result in totally awesome effects like the one on the top of …
