It turns out that the cocktail blog idea is not as original as I originally thought. The bad news is that I’m not so creative. The good news is that there are a few excellent sites out there worth reading. These guys (and they are guys) know their stuff.
Seattle-based Cocktail Chronicles seems to have been up and running for a couple of years. Check out his post on “tiki” drinks, with a recipe for a Demerara Dry Float.
Kaiser Penguin has also been on a polynesiana kick, with his taste test of four different mai tai recipes.
Boston-based Days that End in Y is an amazingly thorough compendium on all news booze-related. See his list of how to save money stocking the bar, a topic on which I’ll try to add my thoughts soon.
DC Drinks has some good whiskey reviews, and a gripe about the international style in lager. Me, my gripe is about American (and Canadian) exceptionalism - we’re the only country that doesn’t make a decent lager.
I’ve added these sites to the blogroll, naturally. Feel free to send me other reading suggestions my way.
