The next round of Mixology Monday (a.k.a. The Carnival That Created the Cocktailosphere) will once again be hosted here at the Pegu Blog. This month, I thought we should examine one of the most ubiquitous items in any decent bar: Limes. Limes are an ingredient. Limes are a garnish. A bowl of them makes a [...]

Moonshine Should Bring Us All Together!

Doug — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:31:32 +0000

Reason brought us a new video yesterday about the question of legalizing home distilling. In the process, they illustrate (probably by accident) how an issue like this can bring our fractured nation together. …making your own liquor at home is about as legal as making your own Meth at home…. The unfortunate fact is this: [...]

Mixology Monday: Brown Bitter and Stirred—Rum Old Fashioned

Brown, Bitter, and Stirred. That is this month’s invocation for Mixology Monday, hosted this round by Lindsey Johnson of Lush Life Productions at her blog, er, Brown Bitter and Stirred. At first glance, it is almost too easy. The phrase itself is practically a recipe for the first cocktail, and three mighty elders of classic [...]

SdieBlog: Manliness Drink Index

Doug — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:01:54 +0000

How manly is what you drink? Cute idea, but the mere concept of Cary Grant and Justin Bieber intersecting on any chart is an abomination. (H/T: Instapundit)

Book Review: Beachbum Berry REMIXED

Doug — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:31:01 +0000

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was an age of drinking called the Tiki Era. It was a perfect storm of circumstances and personalities that illustrates my contention that drinking defines and is defined by all peoples in general and America in particular. Tiki arose from the fact that The Noble Experiment [...]

Wicked tats, officer! OK, so if you are reading about this story here first, you need to get out on the Internet more. I am talking about JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, who got into a profane argument with a passenger, cursed out his entire plane, popped the emergency slide, took two beers, and exited [...]

Summer New York Adventure: Painkiller

Doug — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:17:29 +0000

“My understanding of Tiki is that in order to do it right, one must have balls.” —Giuseppe Gonzalez While I’ve been to bars that can do a few good Tiki drinks, and I’ve been to at least one place with a great, Tiki-inspired menu, I have never been to a genuine, all-dressed-up-and-ready-to-dance Tiki bar. Thus [...]

Dan Dunn, of Playboy’s The Smoking Jacket (the articles sometimes really are worth reading) offers up his Top Ten Barchetypes. Writing a post on someone else’s meme-ish post for easy content should be in every blogger’s bag of tricks, and I haven’t pulled this one out in a while. Hopefully I won’t shank the drive…. [...]
