- D.C. Tap Water Cocktail. Absorbs your blues.
-
- The National Drink of Curacao – Blue Curacao. This particular version is curacao, pineapple, and orange juice. Amazing what you can do with mutant oranges.
-
- When you think of Kentucky, you think bourbon and whiskey, but don’t be fooled. Tasty drinks abound, including this “Bluegrass Mimosa”.
-
- The Drink of Polynesian Gods — The Lava Flow — swirls strawberry daiquiri and pina colada. Discovered on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. These are faithfully reproduced homemade versions.
-
- Talk about cultural fusion. Ping Pong Restaurant in Washington D.C. serves up a delicious mule and ginger limoncello caparinha. America is a melting pot. Just look at our drinks.

- A Rum Sidecar with sugar made just for me. So nice to be a regular.

- A Spiced Pear Martini in Amelia Island. Felt loaded with vitamins

Frank Sinatra and Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens were very wise men. 😉 There’s nothing better than a woman with an opinion who can admit she likes a good drink. (I said that 😛 )

For a refreshing taste of the dirty South, try a “Hair of the Devil”: bourbon + ginger ale + splash pineapple juice. Or for a less-sweet version: bourbon + Sprite + splash pineapple juice + splash lime juice. North Carolina bartender-approved.

Big fan of Irish Cream Liqueur. Prefer Emmet’s over Baily’s but oddly enough, the Kirkland (Costco) brand is pretty good too. Wine wise I like a good Riesling. Fav is Chateau St. Michelle, extra dry.

It’s fascinating how a drink can connect you to a place… for example, when I’m visiting family in Croatia on the Dalmatian Coast, I can’t get enough aperol spritzes. I don’t drink them anywhere else; they just don’t have the same effect! I’m heading to Puerto Rico in January and am looking forward to some local drinks there, maybe some rum?

Ah yes. Very true. Hope you enjoy your trip to Puerto Rico. A daiquiri would be refreshing!
