Filed under: Recipes, Rum, Happy Hour, Soda, Summer Though I drank a lot of root beer years ago, these days all of my soda needs are taken up by Diet Coke and Pepsi (yes, I have someone learned to love both of them). But icy cold root beer can hit the spot on a warm day. I have to admit I've never had it with alcohol involved. But AOL Food has ...

Filed under: Recipes, Cocktails, Happy Hour When I think of the word ''Bonecrusher,'' I don't usually think of a champagne cocktail, but that's what this is. It's from WineIntro.com (I like how they have a pic of the ingredients you'll be using - more sites should do that), and even though it has champagne, it also includes rum, gin, and ...

Filed under: Recipes, Cocktails, Happy Hour Do you find yourself so busy and stressed that you can't take the 3 minutes it usually takes to mix a cocktail and you want to find a way to knock that time down to one minute? Yeah, me either, but this could still be fun. It's the One Minute Mojito from FineLiving.com. Seems to me the muddling would ...

Filed under: Whisky, Recipes, Rum, Eggs, Holidays, Christmas I can honestly say I've never had hot egg nog. I've had egg nog-flavored hot drinks at places like Borders, and I wonder if this is similar at all (probably not). This recipe over at FineLiving.com comes from the 70s book The Nashville Cookbook. I've always avoided making my own egg ...

Filed under: Dessert, Recipes, Trends, Holidays Cherries Jublie is one of those foods that I've heard of but never had, like Baked Alaska or Pig's Feet or Mutton. Is Cherries Jubilee something that you set on fire, or is it the name of a stripper from some movie or TV show I once saw? It's something you set on fire! Flambeed, to be exact. A ...

Filed under: Recipes, Cocktails, Trends, Holidays When I was a waiter at a pizza place about 20 years ago, I'd often have customers come in and order a strawberry dikery. Yeah, that's how they pronounced it. I wanted to punch them in the face, but it was usually a woman who said it and my mom raised me to be nicer than that. Today is National ...

Filed under: Recipes, Cocktails, Rum, Spirit of Summer Who says that drinking has to start at five o'clock? It's probably pretty warm where you are today, and you could use a cold drink, right? I know, I know, you're not supposed to have alcohol or caffiene on hot days. Whatever! This is the Naranjita (via GourmetSleuth.com) a cool drink that ...
