Pomegranate Spritzer

December 9, 2024 by George Graham 12 Comments

Pomegranate Spritzer

Just in time for the party season, I’m bringing back my favorite drink recipe. If ever there were a drink to define the holidays, it is this Pomegranate Spritzer: the colors of red and green, the fragrance of fruit and evergreen, and the taste of a sweet present under the tree. This Pomegranate Spritzer is…

Frozen Mojito

July 15, 2024 by George Graham 7 Comments

Frozen Mojito

The scent of fresh mint permeates this slushy cocktail, and the squeezed lime adds a pucker to the punch of rum that defines the perfect Frozen Mojito. Time to cool down! Summer days in Louisiana can be notoriously hot; I mean sweltering, suffocating hot. Hot enough to spend half the day in the pool sipping…

Cucumber Martini with Elderflower Liqueur

Cucumber Martini with Elderflower Liqueur

This Cucumber Martini with Elderflower Liqueur cocktail just appeals to me with a farm-to-table freshness that balances elegance with rustic appeal. With pureed cucumber coupled with cucumber-infused vodka splashed with elderflower liqueur and freshly squeezed lime, what’s not to like? Floating a garnish of three thinly sliced cucumbers just seals the deal. I love watching…

Peach Muscadine Sangria

August 15, 2022 by George Graham 3 Comments

Peach Muscadine Sangria

Poolside afternoons in the heat of summer are just begging for a fresh, fruity cocktail–ice-cold with just a hint of fragrant sweetness.  I usually revert to a pitcher of margaritas or mojitos, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about sangria; a recipe for Peach Muscadine Sangria to be exact. I’ll admit it: Sangria is…

The Bottle Rocket – Cherry Mint Vodka Soda

Fireworks are flying this 4th of July at the Grahams with my Cherry Mint Vodka Soda, aka The Bottle Rocket. This cocktail explodes with flavor! The ease of this recipe is that it only requires a few key ingredients, but to do it right takes an extra step. Fresh mint leaves are essential, and while…

Blackened Bloody Mary

February 21, 2022 by George Graham 16 Comments

Blackened Bloody Mary

In South Louisiana, celebrations abound on the weekend before Mardi Gras, but one party just keeps on going year-round.  And this Blackened Bloody Mary cocktail pays tribute to one Cajun lady who knew how to party Louisiana-style. Fred’s Lounge located on the main drag in Mamou is an original, off-beat piece of the French Acadian…

When Life Gives You Lemons, Spike It With Rum

June 26, 2017 by George Graham 2 Comments

When Life Gives You Lemons, Spike It With Rum

While a big pitcher of homemade lemonade brings genteel Southern credibility to any backyard gathering, I profess that adding a splash (or two) of rum to the tall glass can only lengthen the slow drawl of the conversation. And clipping fresh sprigs of rosemary to add to the mix brings fragrance to the nose while…
