So….. As I planned, my party was to be a family friendly party, but adult drinks served. The awesome thing of no shows, is that there is more for you. I split up this entry because there was a lot of liquor introduced, and me being wasted is entertaining(ask my other half) but I feel…

Bar 101: Apples
Aww yeah, we are here in bar 101! Theme this week: Apples! Just like I love Strawberries in the summer, I love Apples in the fall. I decided to play in my kitchen again, and figure out what to do for apple flavored cocktails/drinks. My first idea was a sangria. Ever since I discovered how…
Bar 101: staying warm when over 21
Howdy! I haven’t done a serious bar entry in ages…. Welp I’m doing it today! Here we go. Its getting cooler outside. Spiked hot cocoa isn’t just the only thing to have around the house. Here we have a sweet harvest sangria. I took riesling, cranberries, grapes, and pears, added apple cider, and black cherry…
Bar 101: Bourbon and a challenge!
Bartender has been busy! I still made time to do bar lab this week. It’s a two part entry. I decided to also by myself a T-shirt that I just thought was awesome! Yes. I may not work in a bar anymore, but when I have side gigs, this would be me. Lol. Let’s get…
Bar 101: On a budget
Bar 101 was very interesting this weekend. First it was done early for a friend of mine’s birthday. She also had a budget. Like an extreme budget. Invited 40 some odd people, but had a budget for 40 in alcohol. What is this girl to do? Wel, I researched, ran ideas by her, and we…

4th of July part 1
Its the 3rd of July! Lol. No it’s not a holiday, but in my house, it kinda was. It was prep day. Marinade meat, snap fresh green beans, boil potatoes for potato salad. It was great as a kid. No different today. Now, at first, this was a simple barbeque, but after some great news…
Bartending 101: Sweet Tea
I must apologize. I’m binging out on the walking dead while posting. Bad bartender! LOL In my defense, this is a really good show. They have a marathon Fourth of July weekend. I figure I’ll watch the three seasons on Netflix, watch the fourth season on amc like they advertised, and then be mad until…
Bartending 101 : Summer Cookout
Thought I forgot about it! Nope. This week took longer because……we are expanding. We are expending to food, and non alcoholic recipes. As I continue, I want to share different methods. Bartending is a science, not just to get drunk….unless you’re turning 21. Lol. I’m beginning to look into cooking and baking with wines, liquors,…

Hey hey hey! You think just because I had a birthday party to plan, I forgot about bar lab? Um, no. CSMommy.com honors all parts of the blog unless their is a 911 situation. Supervising hyper girls came close, but no. I got this. Now, though I never really watched Mad Men, as a history…
