Fantasy Fest is just around the corner and this year’s theme is Superheroes, Villains and Beyond. In honor of my being proactive and trying to come up with some costume ideas before October 20, I have decided to share with you some decidedly heroic, and evil cocktail recipes.

Since the moment I stepped foot on the island of Key West in any type of permanent capacity, I have noticed two things. (OK, a few more than two, but whatever, work with me here). Number one, is that there are an abundance of really good restaurants.
You know that this weekend is going to necessitate some recovery time when it starts on Thursday. Well, this past weekend kicked off Wednesday night with drinks at our friends’ house (two bottles of prosecco and some limoncello) followed by dinner (and another three bottles of wine), followed by the […]
