Hey, Where's My Cocktail?!?

Blood Orange Mint Gimlet

About a year ago, I decided to spin off the cocktail section of Hungry Couple to this site. I thought they were special enough to warrant their own space on the web where drink enthusiasts like me could gather.

But lately I've been rethinking that. Hungry Couple is more than just recipes. It's about life. Travel and tips and eye catching photography and life in the big city. I love the fine art of cocktail making and it is part of my life. So it no longer makes sense to keep the two separate. What was I thinking when I did it?? Maybe I was drunk!

So, I'm bringing the cocktails back to Hungry Couple starting this week. Check out the minty blood orange deliciousness I posted on Thursday!  Those of you who already read Hungry Couple will now be happy to find all the food and drink and whatnots in one place. And those of you who found A Cocktail Life first will now be in for a treat.

I hope you follow me to Hungry Couple where we'll be eating and drinking well from now on. Cheers!

Welcome

A very warm welcome to all you friends, old and new.  If you know us from Hungry Couple then you've noted that we shake a mean cocktail.  When we go to new restaurants, our first question is whether they have a specialty cocktail menu and we're disappointed if they don't.

We may order some wine with dinner and serve beer at summer outings but there's something so interesting about the perfect blend of ingredients in a fine cocktail.  We do a lot of...um...sampling around here and we're always trying to achieve the right balance between sweet, tart and spirit.

Some of the recipes you'll find here over time will be our favorite versions of classics and some will be recreations of delights we found on our travels but most will be our very own creations.  There may even be a review, here and there.  So, welcome.  We hope you'll follow us on social media and keep coming back for more rounds.  Cheers!
