Happy National Rum Day! I wrote about it over at CNN's Eatocracy site.
(Also recently, I wrote about National Daiquiri Day, National Tequila Day, and National Scotch Day. God bless this fine country of ours.)

- Jim Meehan picks his top ten new bars in the US. I would consider this a checklist: NoMad and Bellocq are both great, and I would love nothing more to go visit the other eight. Where's that Powerball ticket again?
- Todd Lipman of the Boston Harbor Hotel lists his top five refreshing summer cocktails;
- Here's a neat rundown of ice in America by CNN's Eden Pontz. With quotes from Richie Boccato, whose Hundredweight Ice adjacent to Dutch Kills may be worth a look.
- Food Republic brings us seven ways to drink Aperol. Besides the spritzer, that is.
- And spritzers are apparently just fine at Bloomberg Businessweek…which news is prompted by
- The Economist's lament that people aren't drinking at work anymore;
- Nice profile of Julian Van Winkle by Wells Tower in Garden & Gun;
- Doug Quinn, late of P.J. Clarke's, is planning a comeback!
- Hey Mr. Mixologist: Did you have to go to college for this?
- Boozy sandwiches!
- Dale DeGroff introduces new pimento bitters. I am officially intrigued.
- Grub Street asked several bartenders at Tales of the Cocktail (yes, recap post(s) coming soon, I swear) about their predictions for the future of mixology;
