  • What Have I Been Drinking Lately?

    I've had some pretty good drinks in the past couple weeks, and wanted to showcase cocktails from three of the more interesting places I've had them. Thursday night, I had the Summer Silk (formerly the "Maïs d'Été") at Marseille in Manhattan, as part of their Corn Festival — all the restaurants in the Tour de…

  • Drinky Linky: Summer Swelter Edition

    It's surprisingly not too swelter-y in New York City at the moment, given that it's August. I'll take it, though. This blog's co-authors are about to decamp to triple-digit-temperature Las Vegas for TCONA, though, so I'm sure we'll be in need of some refreshment. (Recommend any places? Drop a comment or a Tweet our way.) Here's…

  • MxMo LXXV: Oh Mai

    Can you believe that Mixology Monday is 75 installments old this month? Paul Clarke's fantastic idea has sparked tons of creative cocktail recipes and writing over the years, and I really should participate more often — the deadline and structure are wonderful for getting lazy bloggers like me a-tinkering, and it's always neat to see…

  • Bubblicious

    Bubbles are awesome. Who could argue? I drink a lot — a lot – of seltzer, because it's way more interesting than tap water. I probably go through about a liter a day, just for personal consumption — more if I'm making fizzy cocktails. At 2.2 pounds per liter bottle, that's a lot of heavy bottles…

  • Holiday Gift Guide

    I'm trying something a little different here, and putting together the first-ever Cocktailians Holiday Gift Guide. This is basically a listing of interesting things that you, or I, or a cocktailian you know, might like to get in their stocking this year. (And no one's paid anything to get on here — all these products…
