From local brewers to the vineyards of Italy, exotic wines and spirits land on the shelves of our local stores and favorite bars. This site will inform and educate you about what's good and why. I'll share my best cocktail recipes; please send feedback. Together we'll explore what specialties local bartenders are mixing, and mark our calendars for special events. Salut!

I honed my mixology skills at the Oak Room of the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston. Other experience includes the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago, and the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, where I facilitated community tasting events while bartending at the Crow's Nest. I am currently working with a team of mixologists at Simon & Seafort's. To date, I have created more than 300 new cocktails. I've lived in Anchorage since 1999.

"Peechy-Keen"

How about a sweet juicy delectible peach to bite into?

There hard to come by here in the Last Frontier.

Here's an alternative.

Every week I'm usually working with a new recipe at Simon and Seafort's to feature. This week I finally perfected a drink that put smiles on some lovely faces.

Thanks to a pair of birthday girls I finally have a name for it.

The Peechy-Keen!

It blends together 4 simple ingredients that will put a smile on your face once it comes across your lips.

Here it is;

Peechy-Keen

1 1/2 oz. Bacardi Peach Red Rum
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1 1/2 oz. Sweet and Sour
1 oz. White Cranberry Juice

Combine all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake. Take a chilled martini glass and rim it with sugar. To rim a glass take a lime or lemon and wipe it around the edge of the glass and dip it lightly into sugar.

Strain contents of the shaker into the glass and sip away.

Thanks again ladies for the input. Enjoy the photographs and come and see me soon for the next cocktail adventure I'll take you on.

Salut!
