Drinks

Any good dinner deserves a really good cocktail to go with it. If a restaurant makes out-of-this-world drinks, we're a loyal customer forever. We've put together a list of our favorite alcoholic creations: whether you're looking for a warming winter sip or a refreshing summer spritz, we've got you covered. (And we like cooking with alcohol, too. Did we mention we wrote a whole book about it?)

Our other winter warmer: Vanilla Old Fashioned
