Drink Links

We have a ton of excellent drink links, covering topics ranging from a 400lb pig roast to the best airlines for in-flight beer.  What can I say, we serve a broad audience.

Bartending takes off in Singapore.  "Once seen as an unglamorous low paying job in Singapore, it has evolved to a point where bartenders now have a semi-celebrity status that is equal to that of well-known chefs."

Angustora Bitters Shortage Update.  "Well, it seems the shortage is over."  Go ahead, make a Sazerac, in honor of the averted crisis! 

Fruity cocktail article from an Indian newspaper.  Note the double entendre of "Indian summer" when an American audience reads the quote:  "It's a long and hard Indian summer, and the cocktails are meant to soothe and refresh."

New York City Bars, new ones anyway, worth checking out.

The end of the bar car?  Say it ain't so!

Sign of the apocalypse...Burger King may being featuring mimosas.  Oy vey, I don't know what to make of this.  The classic Pulp Fiction scene whereby the guys are talking about ordering beer at an overseas fast food restaurant is WHOLLY DIFFERENT than champagne mimosas at a nearby Burger King.  God help us all. 

Washingtonians: Pig roast at Poste, tonight, 9pm.  They're opening the patio and cooking a 400lb hog.  Wait, one second, did they say a 400lb hog?!  Run, don't walk.  Warren, I'm looking at you.
And finally:

The best airlines for in-flight beer!!  See!  You knew that subscribing to our RSS feed was going to pay dividends!  Next step, excuse to fly on Alaska Airlines...

Tomorrow, we're making the Pall Mall - see you then!

Drink Links

Some Drink Links (patent pending), to get you through the workday.

-  Cocktail Camps

Portland is one of my favorite places.  It's the only city I've been to in which I did not have a single bad meal.  Not one, out of like 15 opportunities.  Every meal was excellent, and every cocktail was superb (shout out to Alberta Street Oyster Bar, whose lead bartender was outstanding).

And now, The City of Roses has come up with a cool concept called Cocktail Camps - whereby participants pay $10, and learn the ins and outs of cocktail making.

-  Pulitizer Prize Parties in DC

The Pulitzers are being handed out today - and if you're in the DC area, find out the places to celebrate or hang your head in shame.  Deep, unforgivable shame.  Anyone want to bet a drink on the National Enquirer getting a big prize for the John Edwards work?  Anyone?

-  $14 cocktails with bacon

This is really a story about bacon with the briefest mention of the $14 bacon cocktail (in fact, you've already read the part about the cocktail by reading the above link headline).  A cocktail with bacon sounds intriguing, and awful. 

-  French 75 cocktail recipe

A nice little write-up about the French 75 cocktail, with recipe.  Well worth a look.
