Your home for Cocktails, Booze, Beer, and Mixology
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 […]
November 11, 2011 (Day 227) — Drunken Bee Writer’s block continues. Booze keeps flowing. Thank you to everyone who has ever served (and continues to serve) in the military. You’re much braver than I. And this is all I can think of when I hear “Drunken Bee” Drunken Bee 2 oz Evan Williams Honey Reserve […]
November 10, 2011 (Day 226) — Honeysuckle The honeysuckle is a derp a herp a derp. Burdle durdle durp. That’s the short way to say that I’m suffering from severe writers block. The good news is that I’m not really suffering from mixologist’s block, so we can still create some delicious cocktails. Honeysuckle 2 oz […]
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 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, […]
August 9, 2011 (Day 134) — Macaroon We’re getting a bit more complicated tonight. Still playing it safe with the flavors, but throwing a curve ball on the preparation. A macaroon is a meringue-like cookie that has a strong almond flavor and is often made from shaved coconut. Now, the coconut isn’t always necessary, but […]
June 20, 2011 — E&J Brandy I’m going to offend some people with this week’s featured Best Buy Booze. Brandy is much like scotch in the sense that people tend to be pretty obsessive over their specific brands. There also tends to be a pretty major jumpstep from certain brands to others. If you get […]
June 18, 2011 (Day 82) — Chantels For those unfortunate enough to not know about the Chantels, they were a Motown group from the 1950s who produced some great hits and still manage to make me wistful. Tonight’s drink is called Chantels because it’s a take off of the classic Shandy, which is beer and […]
June 12, 2011 (Day 76) — Tan Russian White Russians. They will forever be associated with The Dude in my mind. This our own take on the classic. We’re calling it the Tan Russian. Tan Russian 2 oz Sobieski Karamel Vodka .5 oz Butterscotch Schnapps 1 oz cream Combine ingredients in a rocks glass filled […]
June 11, 2011 (Day 75) — Toffee Nation This week could truthfully just be called a jaunt to the candy shop with all of the various candy-based cocktails we’ve been mixing up. Today’s is no different. This one is going to be a bit lighter in texture, but not so much with the flavor (a […]
