    After completely flaking in February, and being too-busy in March, here I come again with a Mixology Monday submission for April.  Anna from Morsels & Musings is hosting this month, and she’s chosen the theme of Fruit Liqueurs.  This is fertile ground, as there are tons of interesting liqueurs on the market, and they’re among…

    I felt the French Sheets (noted below) deserved its own post.  As I’d mentioned, this was an impromptu invention of Damon, our bartender at Death & Co.

    Okay, I know I just barely made it, and if you’re on the East Coast or Europe, then I missed it.  The Irish (and among them I count Irish-Americans) are not necessarily known for promptness. I did want to post an Irish-themed cocktail today, first wanted to check: 1. You didn’t drink any green beer…

    As noted earlier, I was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of kola tonic a little while ago.  Dr. Cocktail’s writeup of the Filmograph Cocktail in Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails (an excellent, excellent read that’s worth picking up) caught my eye, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. Cola is a flavor…

    In San Francisco, HOME Restaurant is famous as the place with the "Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar" on Saturdays and Sundays.  What a neat concept – a buffet table set up with pitchers of virgin and nonvirgin bloody mary mix, various kinds of pepper (crushed, pickled, bottled, sauced), pickles of all kinds (pickled okra,…

    I’m getting ready to attend the Edwardian Ball this evening, and I found myself in the mood for a cocktail. But what?  What would be the perfect cocktail for a night like this? My eyes scanned my liquor cabinet and I perused the contents of the fridge.  Hmm.  I had a bottle of Moët in…
