    UPDATE: I've changed the drink's name. This month's Mixology Monday theme is "Ginger" — what a good idea!

    This month's Mixology Monday theme is "Amaro", chosen by none other than co-author Chuck Taggart over at Looka.

    Welcome, n00bs: this month's Mixology Monday theme is "First Time."  To wit; what cocktail does one serve to someone who's never had a cocktail before?  You want to whet their appetite for future cocktails (while simultaneously wetting their whistle), but you don't want to scare them off with tons of ingredients or acquired-taste flavors.  As…

    A few weeks ago, the good folks at Hiram Walker sent me a bottle of their seasonal Gingerbread Liqueur, and asked me to come up with a recipe showcasing the spirit.  They're asking cocktail bloggers to compete for the best cocktail recipe — and it's flattering to be among such august company.
