After a surprisingly high number of suggestions to do so, we decided to try our hand at some beer cocktails. Being fall (and considering it was already in our fridge), we started with a pumpkin beer that neither of us had ever tried: Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale.

National Watermelon Day

Posted in Angostura, Aperol, Burlesque Bitters, Creme Yvette, Gin, Rye, St Germain, Tequila, Watermelon Juice on August 4, 2011 | Comments Off on National Watermelon Day

On Wednesday morning we learned that it was officially National Watermelon Day, and we just so happened to have a watermelon in the fridge, so it would have been unpatriotic to NOT make watermelon cocktails.
