    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…

    This Mixology Monday was a tough one for me — not because it was difficult to create a new cocktail, or find a sufficiently interesting drink to write about, but rather because the theme was so goshdarned big. How could I narrow it down to just one drink, when there are so many wonderful cocktails…

    The intrepid cocktailians participating in Mixology Monday have tackled some interesting things: spice, guilty pleasures, 19th-century cocktails, strong drinks. They've even asserted that vodka is your friend…something that can be a stretch for many cocktail aficionados. Well, it enjoys a somewhat better reputation among the cocktailian cognoscenti than it does among the greater public, but…

    This month's Mixology Monday is hosted by Amelia over at Felicia's Speakeasy (hailing from Ithaca, NY, home of my alma mater.) This one's a bit of a challenge, but a challenge is good every now and then. Why's this one particularly tough? I'll let her elaborate: The theme of August 10th’s Mixology Monday is “Vodka…

    UPDATE: I've changed the drink's name. This month's Mixology Monday theme is "Ginger" — what a good idea! Ginger's sweet, spicy heat figures prominently in many cocktails, such as the classic Dark 'n' Stormy or the true modern-day classic from Audrey Saunders, the Gin-Gin Mule. (Michael Dietsch is right on when he notes that wimpy,…
