Bourbon Brownies with Sea Salt

Posted on October 30, 2015 by Ryo

I let September completely fly by with not even a hint of a post. I could blame travel (an extended weekend in New York) or work (but it’s the same old there), but really, I’ve just been tired, and I … Continue reading →

The Color of Blood

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Ryo

For whatever reason, I stopped making cocktails sometime in the second half of last year. Maybe it was because I started drinking more wine (for health reasons, of course). Maybe it was increasing laziness. Who knows. Then, last week, I … Continue reading →

Honey Heaven

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Ryo

I love the taste of honey. I use it as sweetener for a lot of things, like smoothies. But it’s rare you see it in cocktails, since cocktails are usually cold, and honey doesn’t mix in with cold liquids so … Continue reading →

I had some leftover bananas on my counter (OK, on my rice cooker, to be accurate), and so I turned once again to the Joy the Baker Cookbook for a recipe. Since I already had my loaf pan out from … Continue reading →

Peach Pleasures

Posted on February 12, 2012 by Ryo

Some More Hot Drinks

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Ryo

The cold weather continues in California, and so I turned to some more hot cocktails to keep me company at night. Because there’s only so much warmth that inanimate stuffed animals can give, no matter how fuzzy they are. I … Continue reading →

Mint Madness

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Ryo

On a whim, I bought a bunch of mint last weekend. I usually don’t use mint in anything. I don’t make minty desserts, and I don’t usually make minty cocktails. But, for some reason, I felt like buying some fresh … Continue reading →

Asian Cocktails II

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Ryo

I made some more cocktails from Asian Cocktails the past week. (Part I is here if you missed it.) My selection of cocktails was somewhat random. It was basically three cocktails that I could make from what I had on … Continue reading →

St-Germain Cocktails

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Ryo

I got a bottle of St-Germain as one of my birthday gifts this year. It comes in this very attractive bottle. I was actually just about to buy one for myself to make some St-Germain-based cocktails, but, as luck would … Continue reading →
