The 2022 Masters is in the books, and it did not disappoint! The azaleas were in bloom, the pimento cheese sandwiches were on point, the storylines were as good as ever, but 2022 marked the return of something that has been missing over the last two years: the roar of the crowd. We'll toast the return of the crowd, and this year's winner with the official cocktail of The Masters, the Azalea.

Try this smooth drink, the Saturn cocktail

Published by admin on Tue, 04/05/2022 - 9:51am

I have had a fascination with space since I was a kid. I missed the Space Race of the 1950s and 1960s, but I didn't miss any of the Apollo movies or documentaries. The iconic Saturn V rocket was an integral part of our success in the Space Race, and served as the launch vehicle that sent a total of 24 astronauts to the moon as part of the Apollo program.
The rocket wasn't the only “Saturn” making history in the 1960s, Orange County bartender J. “Popo” Galsini introduced a Space Age cocktail that is as out of this world today as it was in 1967.

For the first time since 2019, New Orleans will host the iconic Jazz and Heritage Festival. Jazz Fest returns with a big lineup in 2022, including performances by Jimmy Buffett, The Who, Stevie Nicks, Lionel Richie, The Black Crowes, Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, Norah Jones, and many more!
It's tough to pick a favorite among the 2022 lineup, just like it's tough to pick a favorite among legendary New Orleans cocktails.

Take flight with the Aviation cocktail

If you were to ask 20 bar patrons if they had a favorite gin cocktail, the answers would likely be an even mix of Gin and Tonic and Martini, perhaps a Negroni or two would make an appearance on the list. Rarely does the Aviation make a “favorites” list, we may change that here today.

Get ready for March Madness with these 2 minty cocktails

There are a few things that I look forward to every year when the calendar turns from cold, blustery February to the official start of the spring season. March Madness is on my list, as is the beginning of daylight-saving time.
One of the highlights of the spring season for me has always been the beginning of the spring/summer gardening season. If you are growing an herb garden this spring, the road to refreshing summer cocktails may begin in your garden.

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl LVI champions!

This week we toast the champs with one of L.A.'s most famous cocktails, the Moscow Mule.

Ease a hangover with a Painkiller cocktail

There are drinks that are merely popular, and others that are “fan favorites”. If you were introduced to the Painkiller (a.k.a. Pusser's Painkiller) on vacation and it instantly became your favorite drink, you're not alone.
We have plenty of time to prepare for summer, let's take a look at a cocktail with one of the most loyal fanbases, and the legendary rum that is used to make it.
Before we get into the Painkiller, a few words about the secret sauce: Pusser's Navy Rum, made from the original Admiralty recipe.
