Mixology Monday: Pain In The Ass Drinks

April 26, 2010

The merry months continue to pass on by in their irresistible march towards a future full of rum and riches for yours truly (that is where we’re headed right?

Mixology Monday: Dizzy Dairy

September 28, 2009

For a second there I was worried that Mixology Monday might miss the entire month of September. I’m sure you were worried too. And if you weren’t, just pretend that you were to make me feel better.
The fine folks at the eGullet forums are hosting this month’s virtual cocktail party. I often find myself filled [...]

Mixology Monday: Vodka

August 11, 2009

Mixology Monday strikes again! After a July hiatus thanks to Tales of the Cocktail, Felicia’s Speakeasy hosts the August 09 edition with a topic that is not so near-and-dear to many a cocktail blogger’s heart: Vodka.
