Cocktails Cocktails Popular Drinks Bar Basics Stories & Parties From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails Easter and Earth Day are over and we have a week until May Day signals that the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo are approaching, so I thought we'd catch up on a few new stories and some old favorites. I have a green cocktail with an unexpected twist, a collection of liqueurs that are quite exciting, one of my favorite spring sips, and the rest of this edition is filled with those cocktails that will long remain our favorites. Also, don't forget about the fruit cocktail contest. Cheers!   Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and now Pinterest.
