As I mentioned below, a few of us visited Death & Co. recently for a couple rounds, and while the "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" fit nicely into the post on sloe gin, the other drinks we had deserve a little showcasing of their own.  Damon, who coincidentally took care of us on our first visit,…

Mai Tai, originally uploaded by Vidiot. I’ve got a review of hotel rooftop bar mad46 up on NewYorkology.    (The above photo is of the "very fine Mai Tai" referenced in that story.) And, to my great good fortune, Rhum Clément was sponsoring "Tiki Tuesday" there, as they will every Tuesday in August, and showcasing…
