This past Wednesday was Crispy Gamer’s CEO’s birthday. Coincidentally, on Wednesdays we often have “Crispy Cocktail Night” where someone – typically me – makes drinks for the office and we hang out playing Rock Band 2. I was asked to come up with a new drink for the occasion, and after some experimenting, created one [...]
Blood Oranges, Blood Zest

Since I met my wife, I’ve drank more sparkling wine than I had in all the years running up to that point. Hey, she’s French, so no surprise, right? I’ve become quite fond of it, but haven’t incorporated it too often into my cocktails for fear of spoiling its [...]
I’m back with another cocktail. I know, I know — this blog doesn’t even mention cocktails in the title. I just can’t help myself! I got that awesome new book for Christmas and now that I’ve had time to go through and play with some of the recipes, I’ve gotten creative again.
This drink uses Applejack, [...]

Things have been quiet on the cocktail front of late, not because I’ve stopped enjoying them, but rather because I received a terrific book for Christmas: The Craft of the Cocktail by Dale Degroff. I highly recommend it. The first half is interesting and informative, tracing the evolution of the cocktail [...]
I made some minor changes to the CSS and the site’s PHP code so that the tag cloud is less crappy, and added some links in case you want to “become a fan” of this blog on facebook.
Also, here is a picture from the other night’s beer tasting!

While I will always love cocktails, and the art of making them, more than any other type of alcohol, my enjoyment of things drinkable by no means begins and ends there. I like wine in all of its varieties, and I enjoy beer from time to time. Though I am [...]
I’ve got not one, not two, but three new cocktail recipes for you guys. The first, Faux Cider, is so-named because it has no apple cider in it and yet is oddly reminiscent of a hard cider. Something about the combination of lillet, vermouth, cola and lemon gives it a fruity tang. It’s really nice [...]
I’ve been toying with Campari lately. It’s an incredibly bitter Italian liqueur which can easily overwhelm a drink if you’re not very careful with it. I’ve found that rum and, especially, bourbon play very well with it though, and consequentially have two new and exciting cocktails for you to try. I’ve searched around the web [...]
Charlotte, my friend Gabe, and several others have noticed – and never fail to point out – that I get a disproportionate amount of pink drinks compared to the average, virile, testosterone-fueled man! I think the reason for this is because I tend to try cocktails with a lot of ingredients, rather than just “some [...]
My lovely fiancée Charlotte, who maintains a blog of her own (in french – venture forth if you dare), keyed me in to this blog post and I thought it was interesting. The Omnivore’s 100. I quote:
Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once [...]
