The first malt liquor we’re going to be testing out for the Great 40 Experiment has to be Colt 45. I mean, really, there’s no other options. As a kid raised on Billy Dee Williams, it only makes sense that the finest malt liquor to ever drop a fine ladies panties from 50 yards had […]
There are many questions that stand the test of time. These are quandaries that last eon after eon, being debated by the greatest minds each generation has to offer. “Are we alone in the universe?” “Is there a God?” “Can morality really be treated as something that’s a part of the natural world, or have […]
December 27, 2011 (Day 273) — Antioxidant When you hear about food these days, it seems like it’s all free-radicals-this and antioxidants-that. It’s enough to make you want to go ahead and just take up a pack-a-day habit and start hammering down cheap beer until cirrhosis and cancer decides to just go ahead and take […]
December 26, 2011 (Day 272) — Snowflake This week we’re talking about the pastel-riffic liquor known as Hpnotiq. We’re still coming down from that post-Christmas high. Also known as Boxing Day.

December 20, 2011 (Day 266) — Yukon Cornelius Everyone knows Yukon Cornelius. He’s the insane prospector from the classic Rankin-Bass Rudolph special. Total. Insanity. The man had an obsession with silver and gold. We can at least help out with part of that tonight. Yukon Cornelius 2 oz Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps 2 oz Canadian whisky […]
December 15, 2011 (Day 261) — Sunburnt Penguin Earlier today we talked a little bit about the new holiday cocktails that Hpnotiq has rolled out to help you lovely ladies (and some gentlemen) get into the festive spirit. We figured we might give it a shot and slightly adjust the recipes that they gave us. […]
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 […]
November 17, 2011 (Day 233) — Apple Cobbler “But, Mark” I can hear you say “You were making cocktails with a pumpkin pie liqueur, how in the hellaciousness are you planning on making an apple-pie based pastry tasting cocktail.” Trust us. We’re doctors. Apple Cobbler 2 oz Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur .75 oz […]
November 16, 2011 (Day 232) — Fallen Leaves Testing out a new liqueur without a large base of fans.. or even much of an online presence… or even much of any presence… is a bit of a double-edge sword. There isn’t a lot of inspiration to draw from to replicate “official” cocktails. By the same […]
