South Beach is synonymous with spring break shenanigans. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, you may not be able to reach Miami’s sandy shores this season. Thankfully, there’s still an easy way you could enjoy a “South Beach staycation:” blend a glass of the ridiculously delicious Miami Vice cocktail! This staple 1980s drink combines all the fruity flavors you’d associate with Miami…

Of the many “hangover cure cocktails” in bartenders’ books, the Corpse Reviver No. 2 is the most famous. First invented in the 1930s, this drink was supposedly designed to get you un-drunk after a night of frivolity. While there’s no scientific evidence that a Corpse Reviver No. 2 has any medicinal effects, it’s worth a shot...right?  To help enhance this cocktail’s “curative effects,” we’re…

There’s a lot to love about living on Hawaii’s Big Island—but there’s also one major drawback: Kīlauea. Purportedly the home of a fiery goddess Pele, this massive volcano is still active and incredibly dangerous. Alas, even Polynesian paradise isn’t perfect!  While residents may never get “accustomed” to living near a volcano, locals seem to take a “que sera” attitude towards their…

Get your “smoochy face” ready; in this post, we’re going over the delightfully named Kiss on the Lips cocktail. A favorite in Bahamas-themed bars, this fruity concoction is the perfect way to enjoy a tropical vacation from the comforts of home. Anyone who likes their cocktails on the sweet side is going to love this exotic recipe.  To bump up this cocktail’s “relaxation factor,” we’re going to…

Despite its tiny size, Key West is jam-packed with dozens of unforgettable attractions. From Hemingway’s Home and Harry Truman’s “Little White House” to Smathers Beach and Southernmost Point, you could spend days on this island and still have more to see. But no matter what you want to do in this crazy town, you’ve got to schedule some time to taste the local specialty: a fresh-baked Key lime…

The Japanese Cocktail is one of the most misleading names in the classic cocktail canon. Unlike what you’d expect, there are no Japanese flavors in this American mix. Supposedly, NY bartenders only named this cocktail in honor of a 19th-century Japanese diplomat who was in the Big Apple. While you won’t find sake or Midori in this cocktail, it’s got a lot of fantastic flavors going on. Anyone…

Of all the buff superheroes in comic books, the Hulk is probably the bulkiest dude. You’d have to be a fool to call this green giant a “wimp” when he’s in a rage. It’s precisely this “manly feature” that prompted one NY bar to create the macho Incredible Hulk cocktail. With just two ingredients, this is also one of the easiest cocktails to “smash” together at home.  Since hemp and the Hulk are…

If you’re an unashamed Andes addict, then this is the post for you. The Grasshopper is the cocktail equivalent of a tub of mint chocolate ice cream. Anyone who loves the combo of refreshing peppermint and dark chocolate (plus a bit of creamy milk!) must try this dazzling nightcap. To make this drink extra cool, we’re going to add a generous dropperful of our high-quality CBD oil. While you…

Forget vitamin C tablets; lime juice was the world’s first immune booster! Indeed, British sailors would often take a shot of lime juice to fend off vitamin C deficiency (aka scurvy). To help make this pungent fruit more palatable, one naval surgeon had the bright idea of combining it with gin—and thus, the gimlet was born!  Supposedly named after that brilliant naval surgeon, the gimlet…

During the dry days of Prohibition, many Americans “wet their whistle” in heavenly Havana. One of the many cocktails bartenders invented during this time was called “El Presidente.” Although many people have forgotten this Cuban classic, it’s a lovely libation for rum connoisseurs who are looking for some extra fun.  Although we’re not sure how popular CBD is in Cuba, we’re confident our…
