Kisses for Pedro

This cocktail is a version of a shot that Z made up ages ago. The name is a pun of sorts. C’s cat Pedro doesn’t really like kisses, so they make her a sour puss. One of the main ingredients is, of course, sour puss. Also, the sour puss is red and when mixed into…

Izayoi

Well once again it was Sunday and Z’s turn to pick a cocktail. Having overheard the need to find something to do with our limoncello, he looked in his app again and dug up the Izayoi.

In chillier regions, it’s more often associated with autumn, Thanksgiving, and the coming of winter — and it’s through…

The Pierced Fuzzy Navel

Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. In the case of our cocktail exploration, the fact that our liquor cabinet is currently overstocked with vodka became the driver behind today’s drink.
