Incorporating my love of all things stylish and all things alcoholic I bring to you….. Cocktail Time! *yay! confetti falls from sky*

One of my absolutely favorite things to do is visit a fabulous bar where I can sit and lyme with friends and try new cocktails. With my new fabulous feature, I’ll invite you to step out of your “rum n coke” or “vodka/cran” box and try one of the favorites that I’ve encountered on my rounds. Of course, I am but one person and can only consume so much alcohol…as hard as I sometimes try…so I invite you to share your favorites with me so that I too can expand my palette to the wide array of mixes that await.

But first, as always, a definition. Wiki says a cocktail is: a style of mixed drink. A cocktail usually contains one or more types of liquor and flavorings, usually one or more of a liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, etc.

I was introduced to this cocktail by my good friend and drinking partner in crime Tami, at one of our visits to Indies Bar & Grill on Holborn Road, New Kingston. Bartender Ryan calls it an Almond Hazel, though I’ve been to other bars where it appeared on the menu as something else. When I went back, I made sure to get the ingredients down so that I can order it wherever I go as the bartender at my favorite hot spot was quite confused when I ordered it there:

• Amaretto

• Tia Maria

• Creme

That’s it! Ryan used evaporated milk with mine and it was simply amazing! Every time I go there I start with that. Its not as creamy as a rum cream and not as harsh as a mixed drink. Try it, you’ll be glad you did!

Make sure to report back here if you like it! And share your favorites with me please! By the way if you are a bartender or love trying new mixes, then webtender is your friend!
