Slán, in Gaelic, roughly translates to “goodby”. That is the theme for this Month’s Mixology Monday. It’s over. It’s done. Kaput. So now is goodby to the World’s Best Online Cocktail Party. Hosted by our leader and fearless cat herder, Frederic Yarm of the Cocktail Virgin Slut blog, the actual…
It’s Mixology Monday, hosted by Garnish Blog, and the theme is chocolate! I absolutely love it: chocolate and booze are a match made in Heaven! We have three cocktails to offer this month: the Chocolate Manhattan, the Chocolate Covered Rum and the Chocolate Rum Old Fashioned. Chocolate Manhattan I attended…
I love bitter! So, naturally, I love this theme! I think the amari and other digestifs add an amazing complexity to any style of cocktail, (well, I haven’t tried it with Tiki drinks – yet!) This month we have two cocktails to offer. We obviously have the Holidays in mind…
November’s Mixology Monday has come and gone and we’re talking brunch cocktails. From the Caribbean to the Far East, an egg, maple syrup, French Toast, coffee and bananas – all in a glass, (well, actually several glasses). That’s enough for the yammering, let’s get to the cocktails: First up…

It’s already Mixology Monday for October! This Month we are hosted by Frederic of the Cocktail Virgin and the theme is “Mashups.” The challenge is to combine 2 cocktails into one Monster. I started thinking of Scotch drinks, but nothing seemed to be anything special. Looking at the Blood and…
The theme for this month’s Mixology Monday is “Drink Nerdy.’ Our host, Rebecca of The Shrubbery blog, challenges us to embrace our inner cocktail nerdyness. From her Announcement Post, “The thing that unites everyone who participates in MxMo is our love of of cocktails. We love the history, the alchemy,…
This month’s Mixology Monday is hosted by Adam of the Mr. Muddle blog. He has chosen the theme of vinegar, as in the Shrub. A shrub is simply fruit, sugar and vinegar. They are generally sweet/tart and you can enjoy them with a little carbonated water or mix them in…
It’s Mixology Monday May 2016! This month’s theme, hosted by Nick of the Booze Barn, is “Dry.” Around here, we like dry, (maybe why we live in South Texas)! The idea this month is to make a cocktail using a dry base spirit with no more than 10% sweetener/juice and…
