The Round-Up
All you cocktail nuts are awesome. It has been so much fun putting together this edition of Mixology Monday. The entries have been deliciously written, intriguing, and full of quality spirits, cocktails, and way more booze than a sane person should consume, well, ever.

The Round-Up
I thought this was going to get easier as I pushed through the dangerous waters of Mixology Monday. Oh, how I was wrong. The second round-up of three reveals “evil” cheating. People have doubled recipes to meet the 3oz requirement! I wholeheartedly approve. Mixology Monday is by no means a competition, [...]

I half-joked and was half-serious when I said I’d try all the submissions the last time I hosted Mixology Monday. Though this time, only one day after I chose the “Limit One” theme, I received a memo from my liver. It was very short and to the point: “You’ll regret it. - Your [...]

Marleigh, from over at SLOSHED! is hosting this fine edition of Mixology Monday. After trying a plethora of brandy cocktails and whipping up a couple of new tiki recipes, I decided to fall back on an old favorite.

Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails by Dr. Cocktail was one of the first cocktail books that found its [...]

Wow, we’ve done this seventeen times? Mixology Monday manages to grow with each incarnation, and it’s obvious by the number of new blogs that well-crafted cocktails are finding their way back into our culture. I was quite pleased to see Paul’s topic, because I knew it would give me the chance to [...]

Tiki torches flickering in the background to the beats of Don Tiki, I crack open Difford’s Guide Volume 5 to find a recipe for this edition of Mixology Monday, being hosted by My Bar, Your Bar. Visions of both hate letters and high praise float through the air as I listen to the congo [...]

I must admit this up front. I struggled with the tiki gods to not include a warm and most likely flaming tiki drink in this month’s edition of Mixology Monday, Winter Warmers, hosted by our friends over at Imbibe Unfiltered. I was even playing around with how to photograph the blue flames dancing [...]

As I leafed through Intoxica! in search of the perfect lemon-filled cocktail, my mind drifted to the Hurricane. I had no idea how I was going to beat such lemon-crafted perfection. It has the perfect mix of sweet and tart with just the right balance of rum.
Many of the recipes in Intoxica! included [...]

I was so happy to see that nearly everyone dusted off their cameras for Mixology Monday III. I hope it’s a trend that continues.
Speaking of trends… the mojito, stinger, and mint julep were the most popular contenders this Monday, and no surprise; they are very tasty drinks. Mr. Science was very happy to see lots [...]

Last Mixology Monday, we had over 15 submissions, and I was pleased to be introduced to several new blogs that I’ve since added to my reading list. The upcoming Mixology Monday is being hosted right here at Kaiser Penguin on June 5th, and the topic is Mint.
