    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…

    If you'll recall from our last installment, we're investigating tonic water and trying to figure out which one is best. We've settled on a method, lined up judges, and introduced our contenders.

    I wasn't expecting much from the Sailor Jerry's National Rum Day celebration at Mother's Ruin. They weren't launching a new product, just promoting some punches for the back end of Summer, and having a nice get-together for a few of their closest friends[1]. Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins was a tattoo artist who served in the…

    The Problem: It's still summer, and it can still be H-O-T out there.. And tropical levels of humidity demand something cool and refreshing. Maybe with bubbles and some lime, to cut the stickiness. In short, summertime demands a gin and tonic. And you want — you deserve — the best possible G&T, no? So how…

    There are many wonderful books on drinking, some of which truly reside in the canon of greatness. Gary Regan's The Joy of Mixology, David Embury's The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book…but the most entertaining one, for my money, is Charles H. Baker, Jr.'s The Gentleman's Companion, originally published in…
