October 31, 2011 (Day 216) — Ectoplasm Punch Ahhh. Halloween. It truly is my favorite holiday. I mean, like really. Even as I got older and it shifted from candy to booze and scantily clad women, I kept my love of the fall holiday that lets you forget yourself, if only for an evening. As […]

Dirty Kermit


October 28, 2011 (Day 213) — Dirty Kermit One of the greatest pastimes of the internet is destroying childhood memories. In many ways, actually. Usually, through something sexual.

Caramel Apple


October 27, 2011 (Dat 212) — Caramel Apple Okay, I’m actually excited to use the Hiram Walker Caramel Apple liqueur as part of a shot. It’s actually pretty damn versatile liqueur, so I would imagine it would be perfectly suited for complex flavors in a quick burst. Our only concern really comes with the addition of the butterscotch schnapps, […]

Luftwaffe


October 25, 2011 (Day 210) — Luftwaffe This week is shots. Why? Because I’m on vacation. Yes, I’ve written plenty about my personal beef with shots.
