    Happy Thanksgiving from all the Cocktailians to you. I don't have a particular Thanksgiving cocktail to share with you, but I will probably be making Tippecanoe Sparklers tonight after the day job releases me. And, recently I was the lucky recipient of a gift of Pumpkin Spirit from the Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee. (Well,…

    A while back, on a trip to Kalustyan's to pick up some ingredients for bitters (more on that anon), I was pleased to note that they carried some of the Trader Tiki line of syrups. Trader Tiki aka Blair Reynolds, as you'll recall from my visit to Portland, is an accessible, enthusiastic tiki maven who's…

    In honor of National Rum Day today: Sailors have long been associated with drinking; the British Royal Navy issued daily rations of hooch to its sailors for centuries. At first, each sailor was issued a gallon of beer or wine a day, but after some storage difficulties, that was changed to a ration of hard…

    More drinking in Portland! The day after our visit to Clyde Common, we embarked on a marathon of even more cocktailing, starting it off with a fascinating and informative tasting at Clear Creek Distillery.

    From time to time, I get a bottle of booze in the mail. This is definitely an unexpected perk to running a cocktail blog, and I keep meaning to write about them, but never get around to it. So here's an attempt to work through the backlog. I recently received a bottle of Karlsson's GOLD…
