The last Quarantine Whiskey Sour is a Peach Rosemary Whiskey Sour. Quarantine means taking stock of what you have in the freezer, and a stash of frozen peaches meant there was peach simple syrup in my future. While peach is a lovely flavor, for me, pairing it with rosemary, a savory element, takes the complexity […]

Ya Basic Whiskey Sour – Quarantine Cocktail
Perhaps I should have started with your basic whiskey sour, but there are so many riffs to be done on a whiskey sour and many directions to take it. When I start a new series, the basic cocktail is never where I want to start. But about mid-way through I like to step back and […]
Orange Whiskey Sour – Blue Mood
Here’s to vibrant colored cocktails like the Blue Mood Orange Whiskey Sour. It’s so rare a whiskey drink calls for a curacao and well, I have blue curacao so I want to pay homage to the fact that being in quarantine has us all a little blue. For this whiskey sour, I use a little […]
Whiskey Tiki Sour – Quarantine Cocktail
More quarantine cocktails of convenience here with the Whiskey Tiki Sour. If you’re a tiki buff, you may have a smidge of orgeat sitting in the back of your fridge. It’s an almond-based simple spirit often used for tiki drinks, but that almond/orange flavor begs to be paired with a flavorful whiskey instead of a […]
Blackberry Sunset Whiskey Sour – Quarantine Cocktail
Today’s Quarantine Whiskey Sour is the Blackberry Sunset Whiskey Sour. When I’m working on a sour, I often start the process by looking at what I have on hand. Right now, I’ve got some lonely blackberries in the freezer that were calling out to me to be made into simple syrup. One of my favorites, […]
Chocolate Pecan Home School Old Fashioned
So your second Old Fashioned for 5 Quarantine Cocktails is the Home School Old Fashioned – a shout out to our hard-working teachers and all the family time my friends are getting working at home. For this cocktail, I was thinking of something a little crazy with nutella and crushed toasted nuts on the rim […]
Breakfast Old Fashioned – Wakey Wakey
Let’s start with a Breakfast Old Fashioned, the Wakey Wakey Old Fashioned for our 5 Quarantine Old Fashioned series. Combining a little cold brew coffee syrup (or just what’s left over from the last pot of the morning) or coffee liqueur, add a smidge of maple syrup and a healthy dose of whiskey and orange […]
Quarantoddy
We’ve all heard of the quarantini by now, but how about something a little more comforting to soothe the throat and help boost the immune system, like a Quarantoddy. This take on a hot toddy will get us through the evenings, or the afternoons, or the mornings. It will get us through. The hot toddy […]
Honey Rose Old Fashioned
Time for your Friday Old Fashioned. This time, it’s a honey rose old fashioned. For this cocktail, I’ve been dreaming of the warmer weather and the rose bushes that have just started to bud. But I’m also enjoying the cooler nights and entertaining thoughts of hot toddies and their honey goodness. So let’s combine both. […]
Tipsy Pixie: Bourbon Women Cocktail for St Patrick’s Day
