Very few liquors impress me. I was amused by chipotle flavored vodka, rum soaked with cranberries and tequila that tasted faintly of dried, smoked wood but I was truly tickled pink by Bakon Vodka. Not your dad's sipping drink, this gem of a liquor smells, tastes, but does not look like the pork product itself. While a Bloody Mary would compliment this clear booze to a B, I vastly prefer the almost sweet, but death-defyingly delicious, Elvis Presley. No matter what the occasion, the King of Rock & Roll does not disappoint with a smoky flavor, hint of sweet and the desire to keep consuming until the cows come home.
The Elvis Presley
1 oz Bakon Vodka
1/2 oz Hazelnut Liqueur
1/2 oz Banana Liqueur
Splash of Cream
Shake with ice and serve like a martini or strained into a shot glass.
Just like the man himself, smothered in bacon and bananas, this succulent sipper will have you wishing for a pair of blue suede shoes to rock out in (all while enjoying your cocktail!)
Trick: Substitute the Hazelnut Liqueur for a little dark chocolate syrup for a super sweet kick!

We're so over the whole Champagne and strawberries combo for Valentine's Day. Instead, we're stepping up our game with the Lova Lova, a drink that's invigorating enough to get us going for a night of romance.
Lova Lova
1 1/2 oz. Conjure Cognac
1 oz. mango puree
4 oz. ginger beer
Rose Champagne
Combine ingredients and pour into champagne flutes (be careful not to shake the ginger beer too much!) Top with a Champagne floater and let your tastebuds sing as you sip the night away with your sweetie.
Tip: Make this the center of your V-day temptations dinner. Serve small plates, like goat cheese with honey, figs (very sexy!), warm homemade breads and prosciutto. Olives are good for popping in mouths!

Dessert can come in many forms: cake, muffins, pies...we could go on and on. But what about a cocktail? The Drinkable Dessert, created by Divya Gugnani for her recent Sexy Women Eat event, is a sweet, refreshing and waist-line friendly drink perfect to sip when you're out on the town.
Flavored with Chambord, a little bit of champagne, Perrier and lemon juice, it's both tart and tantalizing on the tongue. We suggest mixing this up in your kitchen with your girlfriends for a quick pre-dinner cocktail. It's super easy to create and, if you're like us, you already have a bottle of champagne on hand! Don't forget a sprig of mint as a garnish.
Tip: When you're finished with the Drinkable Dessert, fish out the mint and chew to banish awkward alcohol breath. Now you can hit on that honey across the party without fear!
Drinkable Dessert:
25 ml. Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur
2 Driscoll's Blackberries
Perrier or Korbel sparkling wine
Splash lemon juice
Sprig of mint as garnish
1. Combine the Chambord, blackberries, sparkling wine (or Perrier) and lemon juice in a champagne flute.
2. Garnish with mint and serve. Enjoy!

Although I've never been a fan of sweet and fruity cocktails, Alizé Red Passion is a welcome exception when used moderately. A splash of this added to a flute of Champagne or Prosecco is a fun twist on mimosas at brunch, while shaken up with tequila it creates a fun cocktail with a fruity kick for parties. Any way you mix it, Alizé is a great way to change of pace from the traditional spiced holiday flavors we're all so accustomed to during this time of year.
At 16 percent alcohol, this liqueur is made from premium French vodka and blended with passion fruit and cranberry to add a tartness and acidity that balances the sweetness.
Tip: Try adding Alizé Red Passion to red sangria for extra flavor.

As the leaves start changing and the countdown to Thanksgiving begins, it seems only natural that pumpkin would start appearing everywhere— and the cocktail menu is no exception. Pastabilities, an Italian restaurant in Syracuse, New York serves the Pumpkin Hollow, a creamy drink made with Absolut Vanilla, Pumpkin Syrup and Pumpkin Cream Liqueur. The graham cracker rim makes this the perfect dessert drink, but you have our permission to order it anytime.
