Upcoming TDN – Mount Gay XO Mount Gay Extra Old is one of my favorite rums and offers vast potential for Thursday Drink Night. It’s wonderful on its own and it may be one of the most mixable rums I’ve tried. And to add a high-proof float to the evening, we’ll be crafting original cocktails […]
Drinking in San Francisco
I’m on the plane sitting in the exit row (more leg room ftw). The sky is trying very hard to be the color of Saturday morning cartoon water, and it’s doing a wonderful job heralding the beautiful 68 degree San Francisco weather I’ll be enjoying for the next 12 days. Beyond attending a conference for […]

Original Tuaca Drinks
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 […]

My consumption of […]

Fernet Branca Thursday Drink Night
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 […]

Original “Rinsed” Cocktails – TDN
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 […]

New Zombie Recipes – TDN
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. […]

Solid Cachaça
I can’t get over it. This stuff smells so damn good. Boca Loca Cachaça’s aroma is earthy and vegetal with loads of caramel. A tip to the tongue reveals not a firey spirit, but one smooth and extremely drinkable. I’m almost a little disappointed at this, wishing that more of Boca Loca’s funky aromas came […]
