As cocktail caterers, our job and our intuition dictate that we deliver eye-catching cocktails that indulge and amuse. As we aim to bring an element of surprise to our events, we messed around with a clarified cocktail this week. A crystal-clear cocktail has the aptitude to not only pamper but also completely shock our taste buds - a perfect fix for those times we like to play with people's expectations.

Team Building with a Shaker
We all know that team building activities promote harmony and create good working relationships that can be so vital to a company's efficiency and productivity. The problem here is that the typical office team building ideas tend to bring out more sighs that smiles among co-workers, and it can often feel like a child's play rather than a grown-up's activity. But, put a cocktail glass in almost any adult's hand, and immediately, attitudes begin to shift.

Love Bird – Craft Valentine’s Day Cocktail
In today's busy world, it seems like Valentine's day has a way of quietly sneaking up on us every year, leaving us somewhat unprepared to do something special for our better halves. And while chocolate-covered strawberries, roses, and a copy of 50 Shades of Grey are perfectly acceptable valentine's day gifts, we thought you might want to set the mood with something a little less cliche this year.

Cali Margarita
Southern California winters are like a dream. Take it from a kid who grew up with the harsh Bulgarian winters; I still find myself watching in disbelief while people surf in December, kayak in January and play beach volleyball in February. But if I were to tell you that January is also one of our favorite months to make fresh juice cocktails, you might scratch your head and wonder if I've been hit one too many times in the head by one of those volleyballs.

Chestnut Brandy Alexander
I know that Brandy Alexanders were a big hit on the dinner table in the 20's when dessert cocktails were a bit more simple-minded, and sipping on a milky nightcap was a classy way to wrap up a meal. But with the rise of the craft cocktail, this vintage after-dinner treat has fallen out of fashion, and it has fast turned into the ultimate retro cocktail.

Roasted Chestnut Milk
I don't know if it was because chestnuts usually come out Christmastime and Christmas and eggnog is such a good combo, but there was something about chestnuts that just screamed milk to me. So I decided to infuse some milk with chestnuts and make some cocktails.

Irish Chamomile Sour
I know that we can't quite call it a winter in California, but I am very excited about the cold-ish weather that we have been experiencing in the last week or so. Now, I know that for those you who have “real" winters (with snow and whatnot), 60 degrees doesn't necessarily make you dream of curling up on the couch with a hot toddy in hand, watching reruns of Friends in your coziest PJ's.
