Parent Tax and the Blueberry Whiskey Sour
Tagged: blueberry whiskey sour, cocktail, cocktails
A telltale sign that spring is in the air is when my daily cocktail switches from an old fashioned to a whiskey sour. Stouts and porters melt away as quickly as the snow with the onset of warm weather and domestic light/lite beers become the go-to when I’m feeling especially lazy. When I posted this blueberry whiskey sour to my personal Facebook page, quite a few people reached out to me for the recipe and how to make....

Rum is such an integral part of the day...

How did the best rum punch north of the palm tree line end up at The Paddle Inn, a surf bar in Newburyport, Massachusetts? Well, that’s because Nolan Gawron, a writer and bartender I met on my Anguilla press trip (I always drop “Anguilla press trip” whenever I get the chance), did his research in Barbados. After all, if I’ve learned anything from writing this blog, the “research” is half the fun....
