Mixology Monday

MXMO: TIKI

While the blog has seemed to linger in hibernation, know that there are stirrings about and things to come. However, while completely lost in about seven brazillian projects I’m working on, I got word that this month Mixology Monday was going all Tiki. How could I resist submitting one of my current projects for consideration [...]

Mixology Monday: Pain In The Ass Drinks

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?

Vermouth is also the theme for this month’s Mixology Monday, graciously hosted by the the pseudonymous “Vidiot” at the Cocktailians blog.  As Vidiot notes, [...]

Mixology Monday: Dizzy Dairy

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 [...]
