Dustin and I like our margaritas traditional, on-the-rocks. But sometimes when it's warm outside a nice frozen margarita really hits the spot. Personally I can't decide if I like mango or strawberry blended in. I guess it depends on my mood. This particular evening we made frozen mango margaritas because we had a bag of frozen mangos in the...

It baffles me how a Corona can help make a margarita be damn tasty, but somehow it works. You don't taste the beer at all (or really even the tequila for that matter), just the sugary sweet lime and cherry flavors. Traditionally, this recipe uses plain lemon-lime soda, but if you use a lemon-lime soda with cherry flavoring added you can change...

No, not that. Get you mind out of the gutter. A Dirty Banana is a banana milkshake-like alcoholic beverage with a hint of creamy coffee flavoring that we were introduced while honeymooning at the resort in Jamaica. I don't even want to think about how many of these I drank (and how many calories I consumed in doing so). It goes down so smoothly,...

We are officially back from Jamaica, and back to real life after wedding festivities in Texas, a mini break in Washington,  and our honeymoon in Jamaica. Everything about the wedding was such a blur, it seems as though it didn't really happen. But indeed now we are married, which is pretty cool to say. We were told we would feel different, but...

It's the Friday before our wedding! Time for a drink! We've discussed our affinity for coconut creme pie as it relates to our engagement, so we recently created our own at-home cocktail version of the dessert. We combined equal ratios of Malibu coconut rum, Bailey's Irish cream, and coconut milk, shaken over ice and poured into a cocktail glass...

Fun fact of the day: jelly beans became associated with Easter in the 1930s because they look likes eggs, just like the Easter Bunny brings to symbolize new life. And what better way to celebrate the holiday than with a jelly bean infused cocktail. We tried our hand at a Jelly Bean Martini, which requires a little bit of prep and patience, but...

Sangria is summer in a glass. Even though the high temperatures here are still in the 50's, peachy orange sangria allows you to pretend the long, beautiful summer days are already here. We found a recipe here for a white sangria with peachy undertones as a base that we modified because we wanted to use our Citron orange liqueur. We used...

It's Erin's birthday, and you know what that means. Booze. Lots of it. All kidding aside, I wanted to treat Erin to one nice birthday celebration drink, so I grabbed the cake vodka (should be in any man's liquor cabinet) and whipped up a sweet drink. With all of these sweet (read girly) drinks, the most important aspect is not the flavor,...

Walking by a fruit stand in Pike's Place, something caught my eye. It was half an orange with a deep red flesh. Blood oranges. We got so excited because blood oranges remind us of one of our favorite places back in Houston, Benjy's in Rice Village. Their lounge became our go-to restaurant for happy hour. During happy hour, they have great...

In addition to Boudro's, the other gem of the Riverwalk in San Antonio is Las Canarias. They have great food, but what we're here to discuss is their perfect margarita— without a doubt the best margarita you will ever consume. Apparently they don't even make the bartender enter the contest for Best Margarita in San Antonio anymore because they...
