    Yes, it's May 5th today, so that means that for the past few weeks your hosts here at Cocktailians have been bombarded with press releases for seasonal drinks. Some holidays have natural cocktail themes — Irish whiskey for St. Patrick's Day, et cetera — but others don't. (You should see some of the more inane…

    This Mixology Monday was a tough one for me — not because it was difficult to create a new cocktail, or find a sufficiently interesting drink to write about, but rather because the theme was so goshdarned big. How could I narrow it down to just one drink, when there are so many wonderful cocktails…

    I realize that it’s no longer summer — the autumnal equinox has come and gone, regardless of the weather — but I’m clinging to the memory of warmer climes. This stance is chiefly due to my recent acquisition of a vintage electric ice crusher. This streamlined (I think early-to-mid-’60s) Rival Ice-O-Matic is built like a…

    I don't know where you're reading this from, but here, it's hot. I'm surrounded by a thick blanket of steamy heat, the kind that brings out atavistic instincts in Southerners like me; I feel driven to seek out a verandah (and possibly a ceiling fan) and sip iced tea and endeavor to move as little…

  • Bourbon Slushies and the Party Vortex

    My friend Tizzie is lucky enough to live in a vortex. Okay, so I probably should clarify that a little. 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. (And by "live in", I mean "create…

    This month's Mixology Monday is hosted by Amelia over at Felicia's Speakeasy (hailing from Ithaca, NY, home of my alma mater.) This one's a bit of a challenge, but a challenge is good every now and then. Why's this one particularly tough? I'll let her elaborate: The theme of August 10th’s Mixology Monday is “Vodka…
