ORIGINAL — Hoar Frost


December 18, 2011 (Day 264) — Hoar Frost You know it’s easy to tell that I’m part of the generation raised with Beavis and Butthead? While talking to my father about hoar frost I couldn’t stop giggling. Even as an adult and productive member of society, my sense of humor is on par with my 13-year-old. Yes. […]

December 17, 2011 (Day 263) — Dominick If you haven’t already, we urge you to take the Moscow Mule out for a test drive. It’s one of the most refreshing cocktails you can ever have. So we’re going to make a leap and adjust this cocktail for the Holiday season. Now, you also have to […]

White Christmas No. 2


December 16, 2011 (Day 262) — White Christmas Everyone has their Christmas (or Holiday) traditions that they tend to be especially fond of. One of mine has always been A Charlie Brown Christmas. In fact, while in high school I had to work a Christmas Eve shift at the video store where I was employed. […]

Purely Delicious


December 13, 2011 (Day 259) — Purely Delicious Creme de menthe, you cagey wench. You’re the menthol cigarette of the booze world. I’m not really sure what that means, other than to say that the use of creme de menthe can either make or completely destroy a cocktail. It’s all in how it’s used and […]

ORIGINAL — Music Box


December 12, 2011 (Day 258) — Music Box So, we’ve tried to come up with something that continue in our vein of Christmas-eque drinks. While mulling over what to make (no, we’re not making mulled wine) a song came on Spotify that was essentially a music box version of a classic Christmas carol. Looking at […]

FEATURED BEST BUY BOOZE: 360 Vodka


December 12, 2011 — 360 Vodka We’ve talked about 360 Vodka in the past. The long and the short of it is that we haven’t been overwhelmingly impressed with their flavored offerings. And it’s a bit of a shame that we had let ourselves stop with that experience, as we were missing out on something […]

ORIGINAL — Creamed Limes


September 15, 2011 (Day 170) — Creamed Limes In honor of the very much welcome dip in temperatures, we’ll be breaking out the heavier, creamier drinks. If you’re still getting roasted where you are, not to fret. We’ll come back with some heat-beaters later on in the week. Until then, we’ll straddle that line with […]
