Shake well, until a frost forms on the outside of the shaker. Strain into a rocks glass […]
January 13, 2011 (Day 290) — Southern Fried Chicken Soul food. Hells yeah. Makes me think of Sunday lunches with my grandparents — fried chicken, corn bread, fried okra, ham. Hard to believe we were a German farming family in rural Kansas. But, I’m forever grateful for the Vierthaler clan showing me those amazing foods. […]
January 11, 2011 (Day 288) — Turkey Toddy Let the crappy word play continue! Huzzah! Callooh! Callay! I chortled in my joy. Today is National Hot Toddy Day! And it all came about just in time, as we went from a 60+ day at the Cocktails, 365 HQ yesterday to below freezing today. Perfect timing […]
January 9, 2012 (Day 286) — Cherry Gobbler The temptation with a liquor like Wild Turkey is to make a lot of puns. Now, I inherited my affection for puns from my father. I’m pretty sure it’s a hereditary trait, seeings as I share the same affliction with my brothers. We’ve determined it’s not an airborne contagion, […]
January 9, 2012 — Wild Turkey 81 I had a pretty interesting conversation with some friends a while back about how some liquors (and brewers) seem to be trying to reach too far outside their own particular areas. By doing so, more often than not my friends argued, companies begin to muddy the brand. That’s […]

May 6, 2011 (Day 39) — Double Honey It’s Friday. Friday. Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Partyin’ partyin’. Yeah Been long a week at work for you buddy? Need to relax at the local watering hole but don’t want to look like a puss in front of the other guys at the bar? […]
May 5, 2011 (Day 38) — Cinco de Drinko Cinco de Mayo in the United States tends to be much like St. Patrick’s Day in the United States. By that I mean that they tend to both involve rich white kids indulging in offensive ethnic stereotypes as an excuse to get drunk. Diversty! So in […]
May 3, 2011 (Day 36) — Sunburn After a chilly motorcycle ride in to work today, the weather quickly took a turn for the warm. With almost no wind and rising temps, it’s important for people out and about to make sure they’re properly covered up. It’s also the prefect time to make a summery […]
