All right, everyone, it’s time for the interbijit’s most insomniacal, cooperative cocktail event: Mixology Monday! The time is 3:37 AM Central US Time, which makes it a time when I should not be awake. But alas. Enough about my troubles, you want to hear about Felicia’s Speakeasy, and her diabolical theme for this month’s challenge: [...]

MxMo XXXIX: Amaro and Il Cane Nero
Posted in MxMo on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Welcome to the interwebs’ most embittering cocktail experience! Hosted and bitterly themed this week by Chuck Taggart at the Gumbo Pages, MxMo is touching on a subject both dear to my heart and, I realized late last night, pretty difficult to do justice to. From my days as a line-cook, when my boss told me [...]

Man, I have been waiting for this. Because you know what? Cocktails ain’t shit but liquor and twists. Yes.

Greetings, true believers! It’s that time of the month again. This month MxMo is hosted by A Mixed Dram, with the theme of “Broaden Your Horizons”, and so I’m going to do so in a way that will shock the average cocktail geek to their core. I’m going to talk about Maraschino, specifically the Luxardo [...]

So, to be honest, I pretty much started this blog to participate in Mixology Monday. Why? I’m thinking my reasons lie somewhere in-between a desperate bid for validation and, um, something that is less pathetic! Woo. Anyway, I am all kinds of excited, and hope my drink is cool enough!
This month’s theme is Spice, which, [...]
