St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and that means green drinks. And not just green beer! To remind us of this, Tequila Herradura sent along this very green tequila & melon cocktail. The shamrock shaped lime wedges are an awesome touch. If you have the skill we highly recommend giving it a try, your guests will love it.

As we close the bar on 2007, I felt it appropriate to take a look back. Sure everyone does these lists, but it is fun to look at the year that was. I I figure, hey! why not?
So with out further ado, here are some of my favorites from 2007.
“I received a bottle of Limoncello recently as a gift. How do I serve this? Are there any special drinks that I can make with this?”
Well, I like it best served ice cold (I keep a bottle in the Freezer) in a shot or cocktail glass. Sip accordingly. It is also very nice served with a small bit of lemon sorbet and a shot of vodka.
It is a terrific lemony addition to an icy cold martini.
For something a bit more adventurous try the Besitos an intriguing mix of Tequila, Vodka and Limoncello.
The nice people at Maker’s Mark and Herradura sent us some great new Holiday themed Cocktails.
Stocking - A combination of Herradura Silver Tequila and pomegranate juice
The folks at Herradua tell us “This authentic Mexican cocktail combines the season’s most celebrated fruit, the pomegranate, with the culture’s symbol of good luck, the herradura (the horseshoe). Historically known within Mexican culture as the fruta de la abundancia (fruit of abundance), the pomegranate plays a significant role in most food and drink recipes during the holiday season.”
On the whisky side of things Maker’s Mark offeres up Spiked Cocoa - a bourbon soaked hot chocolate - YUMMM! and their special twist on the classic Egg Nogg Punch. This recipe is prefect for a no hassle party punch.
