Welcome to the Weekend Drinks

Hi.  Sorry about this almost blank page.  Chances are you are here from The Weekend Grillers -- so you know the score.  I am totally swamped with the move.  I plan on creating an opening page for this section but I just haven't had a chance.

Meanwhile enjoy the drink recipes that I have up on the left side bar.  Those pages are done. 

Thank you for understanding and Enjoy!

After the Golden Age of the Cocktail during the 1940's and 50's (picture the Rat Pack) the classic drink fell on hard times during the 60's, 70's and into the 80's. Prepackaged mixes and bottled juices let to most people thinking of the cocktail as an inferior drink.

The late 80's and early 90's saw a resurgence of the drink as serious bartenders went back to the roots and started making the drinks the way they were meant to be made -- with fresh ingredients and the best alcohol.
