cocktail friend: spring massey

Posted on May 19, 2015 by grapefriend • Leave a comment

I was looking for a good whiskey cocktail and came across a recipe for Raymond Massey cocktails (named after an actor). Those are rye, ginger syrup, champagne, and lemon peel. Well I couldn’t find ginger syrup and my friend has a bad reaction to champagne (tragic) so we improvised!  I created these Spring Massey cocktails: … Continue reading →

cocktail friend: golden globes 2015

For the past few years, Moët is the official sponsor of the boozy golden globes. If they were really smart they’d serve the Champagne in giant globe goblets – not only would that make people think the awards ceremony was named after the drinks, but would provide even more bubbly-induced fun. In addition to the 1,500 Moët … Continue reading →

First, let me just say that you should probably be hiking in the Alps to truly enjoy this drink. You might even want to be hiking while you read this post! So one day during our Alto Adige trip, we went hiking in the Dolomites. It was super foggy and therefore kind of nippy out, … Continue reading →

Here are a few I’ve found that use it. vice versa Named after Dorothy Parker’s quote: “Tell him I was too fucking busy—or vice versa.” Made with NY Distilling Co.’s Dorothy Parker gin, fresh grapefruit, Pamplemousse red-grapefruit liqueur, Luxardo … Continue reading →

happy white port happy hour

Posted on July 26, 2014 by grapefriend • 8 Comments

Summer cocktail hours are the best cocktail hours, especially with white port. White port is much lesser-known than its ruby and tawny cousins, but I discovered it in Portugal and it’s so good for summer cocktailing. These cocktails are super refreshing and super easy to make: one part white port, one part tonic, and mint … Continue reading →

The white sangria recipe was such a hit that it inspired us to create another white-wine cocktail variation this weekend. This punch I made up was delicious but I couldn’t think of a fun name, so threw it out to grapefriends. Leave it our clever drinkers to come up with some fun ones. I loved … Continue reading →

Drinks served on St. Patrick’s Day are usually green-dyed beer and maybe wine. You can’t really even just honor Ireland by drinking an Irish wine since there’s very little grape growing there, although there are a few vineyards and producers which are mostly in Country Cork. But let’s face it – no one in the … Continue reading →

whiskey cocktails

Posted on February 28, 2014 by grapefriend • 4 Comments

Not gonna lie, I usually drink my whiskey all on its own. Every once in a while, I think it’s great in a cocktail especially if you have a flavored bourbon or something that’s a little too sweet to just sit and sip on. An Old Fashioned is a pretty classic bourbon drink, but we’ve … Continue reading →
