After 18 holes, everyone buys the best guy a drink (or is it the other way around?) and I think this recipe from TheBar […]

Thirsty Thursdays - Bullet Martini

I really wish I could handle the flavor of Sambuca, but despite my Italian roots, I just can’t handle Anisette. I know, it’s strange, and likely what confirms to anyone suspicious that I’m not 100% Italian.

Thirsty Thursdays - Royal Stretch

This would be something Marilyn Monroe would’ve definitely served at a party… it matches her dress in Gentleman Prefer Blondes! It’s light (thanks to the club soda, but not so light you don’t know you’re drinking), bubbly, and slightly fruity thanks to […]

Norah Jones Lyrics & Music - “Turn Me On”

Norah Jones, as I’ve said before, has one of the sexiest, sultriest voices of any neo-crooner around - especially a female. Her piano playing is as soulful as her voice, and the lyrics… oh, the lyrics!
Whenever I’m feeling really… er, amorous… this song just HAS to be played. It’s Norah Jones’ “Turn Me On”. Lyrics […]

Hot New Miami Drink - Yellow Tomato Martini

I can see it now - my thinner, sexier, dangerous dame self - on a terra cotta patio overlooking a giant inground pool. I’m tanned and dewy, wearing a white slinky dress with my long, dark hair cascading over my shoulders. In my hand? The hottest new drink in Miami - The Yellow Tomato Martini. […]
