Shaking up the party with cocktails from your travels

My best friend tames her tension with a big apple martini mixed with a weekend at the spa. I’m good with anything that involves tequila, good music and friends. We may be BFF’s but we’re totally unique when it comes to adult drinks.

Cocktails Anyone?Cocktails Anyone?Whether you’re into wild nights that stretch until dawn or secluded beachhouses with nothing between you and the stars, that special something that makes your tastebuds zing can make – or break – a getaway.

At the Westin La Cantera Resort I acquainted myself with cactus pear margaritas, but California was all about the sangria. And it’s frustrating to replay the cocktails at home without a good recipe. Sure, Google is a good standby, but when it comes to cocktails, I want the recipe fast.

CocktailTimes.com is my new BFF. I love that everything is within easy reach and there’s no mumbo jumbo involved with the recipes.Yes, I’m recipe challenged at the best of times! If you’re a true cocktail aficionado, you’ll enjoy all the articles that range from the history of your favorite drinks to informative articles about barware.

Be warned that the site is very busy though and sprinkled with irritating flashing ads. But for the ability to find all my cocktail recipes in one space, it’s an annoyance I’m willing to overlook.

Think I’ll try some sunshine in a shaker – Pog Punch anyone?

Got another online destination for cocktail recipes? I’d love to hear it!

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks Tom! I've long wanted to visit Terra Cotta but every time I make it to California, it slips off my radar. I am resolved to do it though - and I will be sure to call and ask for you! Julia"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Thanks, I remember your story about us too, thank you very much about it. Because we're the most mainstream nudist resort out west and perfect for first time couples trying topless or nude sunbathing and the most popular nudist resort in California, a lot of times people forget we're also one of the most luxurious because we're so affordable. We're able to keep our rates affordable because we cater to vacationers around the world and are busy 7 days a week, instead of just catering to the local Southern Californian market on weekends. Julia, Feel free visiting our resort someday. We would love to show you it and you can experience for yourself why we're the most popular place out west. You can call and ask for me personally. Tom"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks for stopping by, Tom and reminding me about the Terra Cotta Inn. I've written about this beautiful spot in California: http://gogirlfriend.com/reviews/top-10-clothing-optional-resorts-exposed-12930 - and it's nice to hear the inn is still going strong. Always love to hear from my readers! Julia"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Great choices. However, you left out one of the best choices for couples and girlfriend vacations. You forgot The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Some people still enjoy paying lots of money for their vacations. But nowadays most people now look for the best value for their vacation dollars, not bragging rights on how much they overpaid. And the Terra Cotta Inn is perfect. That's why repeat guests from around the world will fly only there for their naturist vacations I realize you could only include 5 places in your story, and not everyone always wants to know about the popular resorts that everyone wants to go to, but I bet your readers will thank you for telling them about Terra Cotta Inn."
