Drinky Linky: Labor (Day) of Love Edition
On our minds and radar at Cocktailians HQ lately: Metromix interviews Katie Stipe of Clover Club and Mayahuel; tickets go on sale today (at 7:33pm!) for the Manhattan Cocktail Classic's preview next month; Darcy takes on bartending schools; …and the McNuggetini didn't come from a bartending school, but looks disgusting nonetheless; Should bars print the…

Drinky Linky: August Heat Edition
Lots of good stories on the radar here at Cocktailians HQ: Wow, when I posted the picture of the Gimlet garnished with a borage flower yesterday, I didn't know I was being trendy; Here's a great interview with FCI beverage maven (and drinkblogger) Alexis Kahn and tech-crazed genius Dave Arnold; and speaking of Dave, he…

By "vortex", I mean the constant, ever-shifting party that swirls around her house and those of the friends on her block in a tight-knit, friendly neighborhood in Kentucky.

MxMo Submission: The Japonais
This month's Mixology Monday is hosted by Amelia over at Felicia's Speakeasy (hailing from Ithaca, NY, home of my alma mater.)

‘By the way, after these two drinks, you’re really cute.’
On last night’s episode of “The Colbert Report,” Stephen brought on David Wondrich, curator of Esquire‘s Drinks database and the author of Imbibe!, to whip up a cocktail called “The Colbert Bump.” Considering some of the connotations of the word “bump,” I’m glad this went as cleanly as it did, and that straining it through…
