Kali’s Court is located in Fell’s Point in Baltimore, MD. Kali’s Court, which was previously one of Baltimore’s premier upscale seafood restaurants, has become one of Baltimore’s newest and hottest night clubs. It is perfectly set for a couple of friends going out on the town and or a whole gathering. The layout has private areas for more intimate gatherings. Kali’s Court also has bottle service and VIP seating upstairs. They have kept their well known outdoor seating area as well, which makes for a cozy romantic setting during the warm weather.

This signature cocktail is perfect for a night out on the town. However, I think it also could be a great addition for your brunch. The “Blue Blood” is smooth, light and not too sweet. The ingredients blend well, so neither one overpowers the other.

Carmen Motto is our wonderful bartender in this video. You have probably seen her before in other videos of ours. She has been in the industry for years. She has shared her expertise here in Baltimore and down in Key West. Carmen is very energetic and entertaining behind the bar. You will never have a complaint if you are lucky enough to have her serve you.

This cocktail was made at Tark’s Grill, which is located in an area affectionately referred to as the “The Station.” So if you are from out of town, the formal name is Greenspring Station.

Tark’s is a favorite of many in the Lutherville area. On warm days and nights you can eat outside in the courtyard surrounded by flowers, bushes and a water fountain. What better way to woo your girl, than to dine outside with that ambiance? Inside there are three parts to the restaurant: the formal seating area, the bar with its own eating area and a private eating area. Tark’s Grill is modeled on the traditional American Bistro with an emphasis on succulent aged steaks and local seafood favorites.

Will Shriver our bartender in this video has been in the industry for seven years. Despite making a classic rather than a true signature cocktail for this video, Will does enjoy creating his own cocktails, and has a good ear to figure out what guests want, if they have something in mind.

“Mint Julep,” a cocktail known for its association with Triple Crown, is also a great summer cocktail, that is very refreshing, especially if you live in Baltimore with its humid evenings. Fresh mint combines with the smoky flavor of the bourbon and the mild sweet taste of the mint-infused simple syrup for a balanced beverage.

Bread & Circuses is located in Towson, MD. Towson is the proud home of The Towson Tigers of Towson University. The University just received national recognition on American Ninja Warrior with Kacy Catanzaro a graduate and former gymnast of Towson University.

Bread & Circuses is surrounded by establishments that cater to the Towson students and is therefore a breath of fresh air in Towson, making its name as an elevated bar and restaurant that doesn’t serve chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. Bread & Circuses has an extensive list of signature cocktails and if you like Scotch, you will be a fan of their Scotch selection.

This month we seem to have fallen into a pattern of featuring after dinner drinks such as this signature cocktail that is smooth and dangerous. It has a cool, creamy and rich coffee flavor. After it hits your palate, the slight tang of tequila with the chocolate comes through.

Victoria Oleyar is our bartender in this video. She is one of the very knowledgeable bartenders at Bread & Circuses. When in Towson, or even Baltimore, be sure to add Bread & Circuses to your list of restaurants to try, and have Victoria make you one of their signature cocktails.
