After Thanksgiving dinner you'll want to unwind with a yummy dessert cocktail. Making a drink happens to be a lot easier (and faster) than baking up a batch of cookies or a cake, and obviously has different after affects. Cookies and cake will make you feel bashfully bloated, while a cocktail tends to make you feel chipper and chatty.
First, you'll need the perfect cocktail glass, depending on if your drink calls for a tumbler, rocks, or martini glass. You'll also need a cocktail shaker... Read Full Story

We were going to run this report on Examiner.com for National Liqueur Month (October), but didn’t have the necessary “Liqueur” to qualify for that category. And since it’s now National Pomegranate Month (November) and I received POM Wonderful’s New Pomegranate Nectarine and Pomegranate Kiwi the very same day we planned this drink comparison, we substituted it in place of the Liqueur.
We set out to make 6 different Pomegranate Drinks and rate them. The numbered rating cards are... Read Full Story

Well, maybe a good Gibson isn’t the only thing that makes winter wonderful (I mean, there’s also hot spiked cider and mistletoe), but having a well-made one definitely makes your party more interesting than serving solely Martinis.
