Hi! My name is Elana. And sometime. Really soon. I will write a short concise blurb that will give you, the reader, the general gist of this site. But for now, in case you haven’t figured it out… this is a blog about cocktails. Recipes, growing stuff, making stuff and drinking stuff.
I live in Los Angeles. I’m married. I have a dog.
I’ve been writing here for two years.
And Ray Liotta scares the crap out of me.
Hey Elana! I just discovered you through Joy the Baker’s site. Just wanted to say hello and nice to meet you. Have a lovely day!
Thanks Meghan!
Hi Elana! I love your blog! I was just wondering where you got your gorgeous coupe glasses?
Hi Elsie! Thanks! Those coupe glasses are actually from Kate Spade. I love their little pop of color at the bottom.
I found your blog while looking for cocktail ideas using Tequila and Forbidden Bitters and found your variation on a La Perla…I happened to have the Tawny Port too..(just used a little Triple Sec instead of Apricot Liquer). Very nice, and surprisingly balanced …who knew …Port and Tequila were so compatible!
You are now a favorite!
Thanks! I was really surprised too at how well they worked together.
Hi Elana! I too just discovered your blog through Joy the Baker and IMMEDIATELY added you to my Favorite Blogs folder. Can’t wait to get caught up on your postings and try some of your drink recipes!
Question… We discovered Damiana in Cabo a few years ago and now bring a bottle or two home with us when we visit. We love it on ice and would like to try it with tequila. Have you any recipes using Damiana?
Thanks… and cheers!
Thanks for stopping by the site!
I haven’t used Damiana yet, however, after doing a bit of research, it seems like you could use it in place of Triple Sec in a Margarita as it has some similar characteristics, albeit, also some interesting side effects as well! I’ll have to look for a bottle next time I’m out- I’m quite intrigued by this…
