Being a huge fan of cream-based spirits, I’m excited to work with it and wondering what will happen when people try to mix it with citrus. On top of the usual cocktail slinging in the chatroom, we’ll have a fairly big live […]

Thursday Drink Night Anniversary!

A year ago, this week, the revelry began. And if my sundial displays truth, the Mixoloseum has hosted 50 Thursday Drink Nights since that first mixological day. In that time, cocktail enthusiasts, writers, and bartenders have created over 500 original cocktails using everything from Fernet Branca to buttermilk. Guests who once came in fear of […]

Equal Proportion Potions

Upcoming TDN – Beat the Heat For some folks on the west coast, the heat has been sweltering. Not unlike a deep-fried bowl of crisp pig ears. No, wait – wrong kind of hot. The sun has been beating down on our whining PNW brethren like Thor’s Wondrich’s Hammer on a block of ice. And […]

Original Martin Miller’s Gin Cocktails

Upcoming TDN – Bad Names Scour the internets and you’ll find cocktails of every sort; few will prance around like sexy beasts of palate-quenching, while most are hellish abominations of deceit and despair. Kind of like guitar tabs. There is also no shortage of awful, offensive names for drinks, often shots served in college towns […]

Original Bols Genever Cocktails

Upcoming TDN – Muddled Just-picked, ripe strawberries, crushed until their red satin juice stains your muddler. A few slices of ginger, mashed into a stringy lattice of spice. Two basil leaves, delicately pressed into some simple syrup, imbuing it with aromatic delight. A dash of bitters, a jigger of booze, and you have an original […]

New Vodka Cocktails

Upcoming TDN – Bols Genever Genever may be my favorite new spirit of the year. Combining the coniferous lure of juniper with a proper gentleman’s dose of malt, Genever manages to taste like gin and whisky at the same time. If only other spirit flavor profiles combined in such quizzically alluring ways… like rum and […]
