Remixed: Astro Aku Aku

In case you didn’t catch my last post, I’m blogging my way through Beachbum Berry Remixed.

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 […]

Fernet Old Fashioned

The Fernet Old Fashioned may be the best drink I’ve ever created. I know what you’re thinking: Every drink with Fernet is Rick’s favorite drink.
