Smoky Martini

Where there's smoke, there's fire... or maybe just a healthy dose of Scotch. This twist on the classic martini from Cold Glass has us intrigued.

Old Fashioned

Esquire calls this the manliest drink to order at a bar, and I'm secure enough in my femininity to be okay with that. Make mine a double.

Squash-Infused Vodka

And now for something completely different... how about some squash-infused vodka? Put that pumpkin patch to some good.
