May 15, 2013 (Day 7) – Whiskey Sour We were so pleased with last night’s cocktail from the Professor that we decided to crack open his tome once more to have a gander at some other whiskey cocktails. Many cocktail books of days gone by – and hell, for that matter, days gone now – […]
March 6, 2010 (Day 35) — Manhattan The old fashioned Manhattan is one of the very best. And that’s our drink for this beautiful Saturday night. 2 oz bourbon whiskey 1/2 oz sweet vermouth 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters maraschino cherry for garnish Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with glass and stir well. […]
February 18, 2010 (Day 19) — Buster Brown Two Christmases ago, my brother Paul bought Jenn and I a book called “The Art of the Bar: Cocktails Inspired by the Classics.” There are some recipes in there that, due to our location in the boonies, we’ll probably never be able to try (without mail-order that […]

(And if you can’t trust Wikipedia, who can you trust?!) The word grog refers to a variety of alcoholic beverages. The word originally referred to a drink made with […]
February 15, 2010 (Day 16) — President’s Day: The Reckoning Forget Valentine’s Day. Arbor Day? It’s a pansy. Christmas? New Years? Thanksgiving? They’ve got nothing on President’s Day. It’s the day when we honor zombie Lincoln and zombie Washington coming back from the dead to free the slaves from taxation without representation while offering universal […]
February 10, 2010 (Day 11) — Beam Me Up I’ve re-discovered the joys of bourbon after having taken a couple years hiatus from the drink. I’ve kind of stuck with scotch as of late, but with the start of my blog, it’s led me back to the drink that started my love affair for whiskey. […]
February 9, 2010 (Day 10) — Turkey Peck Okay, peppermint schnapps. You don’t like me and I don’t like you. But I paid good, hard-earned money for you, so by God, we’re going to get along. Or I’m going to force you down my gullet eventually. Whichever comes first! Tonight’s cocktail is something called the […]
February 05, 2010 (Day 6) — Northern Lights Schnapps has never really been something that’s shown up in my liquor cabinet. Ever, really. To me, schnapps smacks of high school booze parties, getting wasted out in the country and trying to figure out who was sober enough to drive back into town without killing anyone […]
