Rachel Rosales Birthday Cocktail



















Happy Birthday Rachel! The "Rachel-tini" has been created for your birthday celebration. Time to paint the town RED. The ingredients sooth the throat and tickle the pallet. The rose petal garnish celebrates the many bouquets bestowed upon her for her many operatic successes. So raise your glasses and toast the Diva; Brava Rachel!








What Vassar Collage Department of Music says about Rachel:
"Blessed with a sumptuous voice of magnificent proportions, soprano RACHEL ROSALES is capable of delivering the fiery intensity of Verdi's most demanding works or spinning out the delicate filigree of Handel's intricate embellishments and has achieved both popular and critical acclaim on stages in opera, oratorio and solo recitals."

HERB'S CUSTOM BITTERS































My original custom bitters formulas will fit your favorite Cocktail Lover's tastes perfectly.

Bitters, by definition, are spirits of varying strengths flavored with roots, herbs or fruit, used to create depth of flavor to cocktails. Used in this country for over 200 years, bitters started out with medicinal purposes. Among the popular brands: Angostura, Fee Brothers, Gary Regans' and Peychauds.

What better gift to give a true cocktail lover but Custom Bitters based on their flavor profile. Pair that with their own Signature Cocktail (using their own bitters of course) and you have the perfect holiday gift.

OBAMA COCKTAIL



















WOW! What an election. I had the pleasure of creating a cocktail in honor of our president elect for an Election Night Party with the wonderful Ken (NYC Rock Radio DJ Deluxe) & Jane (actress extraordinaire) Dashow. The hit of the party was The Obama-Rama cocktail. It is just like the man himself: Strong, colorful & elegant (and the more you drink, the more hopeful you become...)
For more fun, creative and elegant cocktails, check out my website. Thanks.
