October 16, 2011 (Day 201) — Junk of the Heart The Kooks have a (relatively) new song out that continues to get hooked in my mind, much like their other songs. This drink takes it’s name from their new single, because in my mind both have a distinctly fall feeling to them. This is a […]
October 15, 2011 (Day 200) — Waffle Cone Dag yo. Can you already believe that it’s another 200 days into a second year of unique cocktails every day? Time flies when you’re drinking heavily. When I was younger, the best part of getting an ice cream cone as a treat wasn’t really os much as […]

Pour into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a […]
October 10, 2011 (Day 195) — Holy Hell Autumn has descended like a blanket over Kansas. After the driest summer on record and one of the worst heat waves in recent memory, we finally have some overcast clouds, some rain is falling, and it doesn’t feel like stepping into a convection oven when you go out the […]
