This has Bourbon, Dry Vermouth, Orange Curacao and a dash of Grenadine.

That classic summer drink from Cuba that is perfect sitting by the poolside on a hot day like today (93 degrees).

I have not been able to find the connection between the name of this cocktail and the 18th century American entrepreneur. The first mention of this drink though goes back to 1941

This has cognac, port wine, orange curaçao and bitters.

I know there are various recipes to make a chocolate martini – I used Godiva Dark Chocolate liquer this evening with some Vanilla Vodka.

This is a gin based cocktail. With Aperol, Lillet Blanc and some Angostura Bitters.
