Grapefruit Margaritas


The bartender wipes his brow after vigorously shaking the tequila concoction I have just ordered. He pours the ruby liquid into a margarita glass with a well-salted rim. Garnished with a grapefruit slice it is just what I need after a long day walking in the concrete jungle of New York City. Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill has an extensive list of tantalizing fruit and tequila mixtures. I was so taken by this cocktail I tried to replicate it the next night at home. This is my interpretation of Mr. Flay’s masterpiece. I like to garnish it with pomegranate seeds that settle to the bottom. The tequila soaked gems are the perfect ending to this non traditional margarita. I think this would be excellent with nachos for your Super Bowl party.

Blood Orange Mimosa



The day I made these the 49ers played and lost their chance to go to the Super Bowl. It was a tough day in the Cosgrave house. Our appropriately colored drinks were very very tasty none the less.

Dark & Stormy at The Clarke Cook House, Newport, Rhode Island


White wood paneled walls covered in sailing memorabilia and waiters in crisp white shirts combined with the salty smell of raw oysters define Clarke Cooke House in Newport, Rhode Island. On a warm summer evening with the patio windows open, it is the quintessential coastal New England setting and the perfect place to enjoy the yacht club cocktail staple, a Dark and Stormy. Spicy ginger beer, sweet dark rum, and a squeeze of lime transport you to a sailor’s dream of chartering tropical islands.
