Kaiser Penguin Nominated by Saveur for Best Cocktail Blog of 2011

Apparently not updating your blog wins you nominations!

Vote for Kaiser Penguin

I couldn’t think of another two gentlemen I’d rather be crouched in a dark corner with than Jeffrey Morgenthaler and Camper English. I’m also confident no one has ever typed that sentence in the history of the human race…

Winning a popularity contest against Morgenblogger is a moot but amusing challenge, but if you’re so inclined, go vote for Kaiser Penguin!

And yes, they have an annoying sign-up page before you can vote. As incentive, if you do go vote, comment and say you did and I’ll give away a bottle of Falernum JWray, made in a rotovap. With which you could make the following recipe:

Rotovapped Falernum and Ting

  • 2oz 120 proof falernum-“infused” JWray
  • 4oz Ting

Combine in a tall glass, drink quickly, repeat vigorously.

    Congratulations! I can’t think of a more deserving winner.

  2. Chris W.No Gravatar says:

    I voted. And I may have even voted for you!

  3. RickNo Gravatar says:

    Dave – exactly. Though we’re using a lab model. Expect a post soon on rotovapping :)

  4. MichaelNo Gravatar says:

    I voted for you! Morgenblogger shouldn’t win as his head is large enough already. And he doesn’t do nearly enough tiki or rum related things. ;)

  5. buttersNo Gravatar says:

    I voted for you! Good luck!

  6. BobNo Gravatar says:

    I voted Rick. Good Luck.

  7. andrew h.No Gravatar says:

    Rick, count me as voted too! Some of the other great nominees in other categories include Food Curated and Cooking Issues.

    Best of Luck!

  8. NannyOggNo Gravatar says:

    Just for you, i dragged myself through the signing-up process, and voted! That’s all folks…

  9. ChrisNo Gravatar says:

    Just voted. For your blog, that is.

  10. DaveNo Gravatar says:

    I voted for KP. And as for that guy from Portland, last I checked he’s blogging at the rate of one post every 3 or 4 months. And I think rotovapping beats barrel-aging cocktails in the how geek can you go contest. ;)

  11. JonNo Gravatar says:

    I would vote as so I’d have a chance to win that falernum jwray…but like the beachbum berry remixed contest, rick probably won’t pick a winner.

  12. RickNo Gravatar says:

    Jon – you’ve seen through my elaborate ruse! Have no fear, a winner shall be declared and rotovapped joy delivered.

  13. When he says it will be delivered, he means to himself as he thinks, “Was I supposed to do something with this?”

  14. I just voted for you—I hope you win! I enjoyed looking through categories actually; it was interesting.

  15. SusieNo Gravatar says:

    I just voted for you too. Good luck.

  16. TiareNo Gravatar says:

    Voted of course! you so deserve it me thinks!

  17. TiareNo Gravatar says:

    “Rotovapped Falernum and Ting”?? nobody but you could come up with such a Ting! (pun intened) please!! bring one for Tales so i can try it!
