Upcoming TDN – Beefeater Gin returns as our first repeat theme for Thursday Drink Night, and it’s no surprise. Last time, the drinks were intriguing, wildly varied, and more than a bit tasty. For this week we’ll be mixing with Beefeater gin, a staple in more than a few liquor cabinets, and a solid one […]

Upcoming TDN – Tuaca If you haven’t heard of it, you will soon. Tuaca is a vanilla and citrus flavored liqueur that has been making its rounds at the bars in shot form. But this Thursday, it’ll be finding its way into a host of original cocktails that we’ll be developing throughout the night. And […]

Upcoming TDN Long Island Iced Tea We explore what might be the cornerstone of the cocktail world. Or perhaps better said, where many of us began our journey: mixing lots of random booze together and praying to the mixology gods that it wouldn’t kill us. And taking that as our mantra, we have only one […]

Upcoming TDN – Fernet Branca From the moment Fernet Branca touched my lips, I knew I was in love. Bold and intense with a Piston Honda punch of mint and herbs, it can be enjoyed all on its own or offer a delightful bitterness to many a cocktail. And though I’d be happy to drink […]

Upcoming TDN Telephone No, it’s not the new cocktail version of the iPhone, but it’s sure different from our usual Thursday Drink Night themes. Remember the game “telephone” from when you were a child? Well, TDN will kick off with the person at the top of the chatroom list submitting a drink. 15 minutes later […]

What the heck is Thursday Drink Night? I love tiki drinks. And the Zombie is about as close as you can get to tiki perfection. So, as one might expect, we decided to improve upon a classic, or better said, create a ton of wacky new spin-offs that break nearly every rule of Zombie creation. […]

Upcoming TDN – The Zombie Some may praise it as the quintessential tiki drink, others may tout it as a horrific explosion of bad rum and candy-red syrup, but to know the Zombie truly is to have seen paradise. A wild mix of rums complimented by a perfect dose of citrus and more than a […]

Upcoming TDN – Vermouth Vermouth helped to transform straight booze into the cocktail, and in turn, rowdy bar patrons into sophisticated glitterati. Join us in the Mixoloseum chatroom, where a host of cocktail nerds will be making vermouth new again with original cocktails. Bring along your favorite dry, sweet, and blanc. Festivities begin at 7pm […]

Upcoming TDN – Mata Hari Absinthe I have waited for quite some time to host an absinthe-themed TDN, and now the time is upon us! And to top it off, I have the pleasure of joining several other cocktail writers at the Tabard Inn in D.C. to host the event live. Don’t let that stop […]

Upcoming TDN – Chartreuse Oh, the lure of Chartreuse. Herbs, both aromatic and sweet, embracing all of your senses and whisking you on a dance in the trees with fairies and monks. It’s green hue brings thoughts of Christmas, mistletoe, and the hearth. For me, Chartreuse is a Yuletide spirit, and as long as my […]
