Upcoming TDN – Rye Whiskey

We’ve had over 25 Thursday Drink Nights and have yet to feature one of cocktail’s most important spirits: Rye Whiskey. Paul Clarke must be insanely distressed. Well, this week we’ll make everything better by slinging original rye cocktails and tweaking them to perfection (or as close as we can get). The prize for the best cocktail will be unveiled later this week!

Log in to the chat room!

Beefeater 24 Wrap-Up

The Beefeater 24 TDN brought out all kinds of riff-raff who packed the Mixoloseum chat room and piled into the Quarter Bar in Brooklyn, NY. Some highlights of the evening, for me at least:

• David Wondrich stepped behind the bar and worked alongside Mixoloseum members and guests to craft original cocktails.
• Getting to hang out with Greg Boehm, from Mud Puddle Books.
• Luring people to eat the cookies I brought along – Thomas Keller’s Nutter Butters.
• Watching Dave peck away feverishly in the chatroom at the end of the night.
• Getting to share TDN with a host of brand ambassadors who are all fun and cordial.
