Posted on September 18, 2011 by Ryo

A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling particularly indulgent, so I made some cocktails with vanilla ice cream. Yes, it’s so sinful. It’s like putting heavy cream into a drink, except somehow I feel better about putting ice cream … 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 →

I made even more cocktails from Asian Cocktails. (Part I, Part II.) This time, I made some cocktails with whiskey and brandy. Not exactly two of my favorite spirits, but these looked interesting. The first one I tried was called … Continue reading →

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 →

I got a book called Asian Cocktails for my recent birthday. Since I love making cocktails, and I love Asian flavors, I was really excited to try some recipes from this book. A lot of recipes involve pretty hard-to-find ingredients, … Continue reading →

Flights of Fancy

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Ryo

I made some flight-themed cocktails this week, after seeing a picture of an Aviation cocktail on Flickr. So really, the only thing these three cocktails have in common is that their names share a common theme. So first, the Kamikaze. … Continue reading →

Gin and Juice

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Ryo

I really dislike gin. Every time I had it in the past, it reminded me of pine needles. It’s what I imagine Pine-Sol would taste like, were I to drink it. Hopefully, I’ll never have to drink Pine-Sol. Unless I’m … Continue reading →

Midori Madness

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Ryo

Back when I was a kid, I really didn’t like melons. Most other fruit, I really liked, since I’ve always had a sweet tooth. But honeydew and cantaloupe, for some reason, didn’t do it for me. Maybe my mom just … Continue reading →
