December 23, 2011 (Day 269) — Gold Digger Rhyme this sentence — I ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digga, but she ain’t messing with no broke… Is this a Christmas carol? Not really, but it is a very Christmassy flavored drink. Gold Digger 2 oz Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps 2 oz bourbon whiskey Combine ingredients in […]
October 22, 2011 (Day 207) — Neo Fashioned The Old Fashioned embodies how simple mixology can be some of the most complex and yield some of the best tasting cocktails out there. However, the cocktail does also show how there are many people out there who simply just don’t like strong, powerful drinks. Or rather, […]
October 21, 2011 (Day 206) — Kentucky Harvest After last night’s foray into the creepy and offensive, we’ve decided to take a step back and honor those out there pulling pumpkins out of the field in time for Halloween celebrations! Now, we’ve been hanging on to a bottle of Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice liqueur for […]
October 20, 2011 (Day 205) — Fetus in a Glass We’re starting to dip our toes into the Halloween cocktails this week, featuring a new original with an offensive name from our executive editor, Jenn!

February 16, 2010 (Day 17) — Snowshoe Grog Hey kids! Mr. Nomenclature here, with your new word of the day! Today’s super-fantastic-wonderful word: Grog! From Wikipedia.

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. […]
