Missy’s Old Fashioneds

This isn’t really significantly different than a classic Old Fashioned recipe, I just want to remember the ratio because these turned out so well for the “Mad Men” premiere last night.

Cucumber Pimm’s Cup

Now here’s a festive way to use up CSA cukes.

Pimm’s Cup

An excellent pitcher cocktail for a party.

Homemade Ginger Beer

I was really excited to make this from scratch for Almost All-Natural August. Recipe courtesy of “Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It.”

Margaritas by the pitcher

This was a recipe born out of necessity. For Amanda’s bridal shower, one of her friends bought a mix of margaritas…which was downed by the guests in about a half hour. So I got to work making homemade ones with the 80 zillion limes that Becky had left over. They actually turned out quite well, even if they aren’t anything too fancy.

Cherry Peach Sangria

I made a quadruple batch of this for my bbq, so I didn’t have the patience to pit the cherries. But I did cut a slit in them to get more of the flavor out.

White Sangria with Fall Fruit

Behold, our Thanksgiving cocktail.

I used Jose’s recipe but with the addition of fall-ish fruit. Warn your guests if you use cranberries that they’re more of a garnish.
