    The folks at Arctic Chill recently got in touch with me and asked if I would review their Stainless Steel Cocktail Muddler, and sent over a sample.  I should note that I'm not much of a Gear Guy, once I've got a setup I like. I have Boston shakers of the all–metal and metal-and-glass varieties,…

    A little more than a year ago, Cocktailians co-author and all-around Great Guy Tony Hightower and frequent Cocktailians Guest Star and all-around Great Gal Joanna Scutts got married. (See wedding-cocktail-related coverage here; we did massive batches of Boulevardiers, an Earl-Grey-tea-infused gin sour, and Royal Hibernian Punch.) One of their friends recently suggested that I work on a…

    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…

    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…

    (This image is an original woodcut by L.A. artist Loren Kantor, inspired by this film from 1913. So cool.) Some things that have crossed my path on the Internets lately: I neglected to link to my Eatocracy writeup on National Punch Day/National Rum Punch Day earlier, so here you go; Modern Drunkard has a nice interview…
