Rosemary Pear Sparkler
Choosing champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate the holiday season is a nice low-calorie alternative to spirits or beer, but when I'm craving a cocktail, a plain glass of Prosecco doesn't always do the trick.
If you're looking for a nice cocktail to enjoy this holiday season, try my refreshing rosemary pear sparkler. It makes a great aperitif, and the flavors of pear and rosemary really tie together the feelings of Fall.
Holiday Healthy Punch: Mulled Wine
I hosted a jack-o'-lantern carving party at my house this weekend and needed to come up with a nice cocktail for my guests. During the holiday season I love warm and spicy drinks like eggnog and hot buttered rum but they're filled with tons of sugar or fat. A nice alternative is making a big batch of mulled wine.
Katie Holmes to Sip Cocktails on Broadway?
Sometimes it feels like everything comes full circle: Cocktail is coming to Broadway and Katie Holmes is in talks to star in it. The good news is that Heywood Gould, the man behind the original book and movie is working on the theater adaptation, but will it succeed on the Great White Way? I have a soft spot for the cheesy '80s flick, but my first reaction is that this could go more of the way of Big: The Musical (which kind of failed) than smash hit Hairspray.

Happy Hour: Autumnal Equinox
Yesterday was the first day of fall, or autumnal equinox. This means it's just about time to put away the ice cream maker and pull out the crock-pot. If this is sad news to you, you may need a drink to help you cope.
Diet Tip: Skip The Predinner Cocktail
When eating out, oftentimes a predinner cocktail and dinner go hand-in-hand. However, if you are trying to lose weight or even just eating for health, the cocktail may not be the best idea.
Not only does a predinner cocktail add a few hundred calories to your dinner, before ever eating a single bite, it also inhibits your ability to make healthy and rational food choices.
Happy Hour: Pineapple Orange Margarita
As I stare out the window at the foggy, summer-in-San Francisco sky, it's hard for me to write about margaritas. Although, a pineapple orange margarita might just be the thing I need to bring a little sun into my life! In this twist on the classic lemon-lime margarita, pineapple juice and orange juice - make sure you use fresh squeezed it will taste better - are the shining flavors.
Flashback: Cocktail, The Movie
Possibly the worst tagline ever: "When he pours, he reigns." This film gives all us budding screenwriters hope. "So it's about this bartender who's really good at juggling bottles and stuff while he's bartending."
Happy Hour: Lucky Stiff Cocktail
Does anyone else remember the magazine Budget Living? Sadly it's now defunct, but I always looked forward to each new issue. This weekend I found a stash of old magazines, including a copy of Budget Living's October 2005 issue.
