We’ll sing any song about the sea, or about drinkin’ rum, or about being at sea when ye’d much rather be ashore drinkin’ rum with pretty lassies who’re also drinkin’ rum. After two bottles in a row knocking down vodka, we’re taking something a bit heavier and hitting a bottle that if you indulge too much could […]
We’ve spent two weeks walking through the agave fields of Mexico with our good friend Don Julio. We’ve taken a wandering look at some of the lesser known tequila cocktails. And we have arrived out verdict. Truth be told, we arrived at our verdict after our very first sip of the Don Julio neat. It’s […]
January 10, 2011 (Day 287) — Frozen Turkey You’re tired of us harping on shots. However, we do like to occasionally throw a bone to our shot-imbibing readers every once in a while. Frozen Turkey 1 oz Wild Turkey 81 1 oz Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps Combine both liquors in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well […]
October 29, 2011 (Day 214) — Pumpkin Chunkin Just what the hell is “punkin chunkin.” It’s essentially where grown men build trebuchets to hurl food across long distances. Pumpkin Chunkin 1/3 part Monarch Butterscotch Schnapps 1/3 part Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice Liqueur 1/3 part bourbon Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake […]
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. There’s even for a rule for it. Rule 34. Don’t Google it if you have any sort of self-respect or love of your childhood memories. However, that […]
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, […]
October 26, 2011 (Day 211) — Aphrodisiac Chugging along with shots this week. Hopefully this one will be a bit less offensive than last nights. (On more than one level, actually.) Aphrodisiac 1/2 part Monarch Butterscotch Schnapps 1/2 part Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Combine the the ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Shake briefly then […]
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. They truthfully only exist to get you drunk as fast as you can. And that’s not why you drink, or at least that shouldn’t be why you drink. However, […]
September 29, 2011 (Day 184) — Pickleback Oh, the Pickleback. What words can be said about the Pickleback? The Pickleback is a shot that has been slowly growing in popularity across college towns and respected bars a like over the past two years. It’s popularity has been helped along thanks to the sudden resurgence of […]
October 28, 2010 (BONUS) — Chicago Fire The awesome and ever-talented Josh Davis and Ramon Henderson recently brought what they called a “Luxuy Drop” to a competition in Chicago. These guys are two of my closest mixology friends, so I always like to keep a close on eye what they’re doing. Especially since they’re rocking […]
