Welp. This has been the rainiest week we’ve had in ages, and it’s been one helleva nail biter leading up tonight’s event. Buuut, it looks like the sun is out right now and the birds are tentatively chirping. And we’ve just confirmed an indoor space at the same location, so WE GOOD! I mean, look […]

If you are in the New York City area, make sure to save the date for next Friday night, June 13th for an over the top, outdoor summer spirits event in Brooklyn: Backyard Summer Spirits 2014. My favorite local booze makers and spirits of all time will be participating in this tasting slash block party […]

Find the recipe HERE! What exactly is pisco, you ask? You’ve definitely heard of it. You might have even tried it. Probably in the form of a Pisco Sour. And you probably know that it comes from Latin America. But, what is it made from? Is the flavor like tequila? Or is it neutral like vodka? […]

Tonight (in just a few short hours!), I’ll be joining Van Brunt Stillhouse, the Red Hook, Brooklyn based distillery I’ve profiled here before, at Atlantic Cellars for a spirits tasting. They will be sampling a number of their products that range from a limited edition grappa to a smooth, delicate amber-colored rum called Due North, […]

Attention gin (and honey bee) lovers! Meet your new, favorite martini ingredient: The first time I tried Barr Hill Gin, I wasn’t able to fully appreciate this unique, Vermont made spirit.

Tonight, Bit By a Fox and Owney’s Rum is reunited for a tasting at Atlantic Cellars in Brooklyn from 6-9pm. I’m so excited to be shaking up this hot, little number alongside Bridget Firtle, the one woman distillery and bad-ass that I am slightly obsessed with. Click here for details!

Thanks to all who came out to Atlantic Cellars in Brooklyn last Friday to help me celebrate the official launch of Bit By a Fox – blog, events and cocktail design.  Here are some shots from the night! How cute are these cocktail spears? Perfect for boozy cupcakes! The cocktails: The Whiskey Cardinale with Old […]

I had to sample the cocktails, of course! This wasn’t fun at all. This past weekend was the unofficial launch for Bit By a Fox Events! The events ranged from a large corporate party on Park Avenue South with 200+ people Thursday night…  The cocktail menu featured Ginger & Pink Peppercorn Syrups. …to an in-store, […]

I’m having a Rum moment. Or more precisely, an Owney’s Rum moment. I’ve been wanting to try this Brooklyn made spirit ever since I’d heard about the bad ass lady making it. Distilling, batching, labeling. EVERYTHING. By herself. Since before the launch in 2011, this has been a one lady show. Why would you NOT […]
