Scooped by Tiki Talk, and I’m a local! Ahh well, I’ve been busy prepping for Tales of the Cocktail. Here’s the skinny on the sweet new mug! Thatch Tiki Bar will be hosting a party to celebrate the release of their new Marquesan Baby Eater Tiki Mug on July 1, 2009 at 4 p.m...
In bigger news then when Martin Cate stepped down as Manager/Co-Owner of Forbidden Island Alameda, Martin Cate to open new Rum Bar in San Francisco, Smuggler’s Cove! The Press Release is below, I’ll leave any additional comments/answers to Martin, rum connisuer extraordinaire...
Appleton Estate Extra is another offering from the fine folks at Appleton Estate . Debated as to whether it should be known as Appleton 12 or Appleton Extra, I tend to stand by the first thing I see on the label, so Appleton Extra it shall be...
Bonjourno, folks, to another exciting Mixology Monday, this time hosted by the venerable Chuck Taggart of GumboPages.com. If you haven’t been to his site and tried a few of his recipes, you really ought to. Chuck decided this round should be dedicated to the various Amari of Italy...
The following is a guest recipe from David Shenaut of Teardrop Lounge here in Portland, OR...
Hey Folks, a few notes on a contest from the Hotel Monteleone. The Hotel Monteleone is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Carousel Bar on May 21, 2009. From 1949 until about the late 60’s or 70’s there was a drink on the specialty drink menu called the Monteleone Cocktail...
Here’s a little something I whipped up to feature Mount Gay XO. It’s a really lovely rum that sips fine, but in my opinion serves better as a backbone for some great drinks...
Another in the series of Easy Tiki Drinks. This one’s a Jeff Berry original, out of the Grog Log, the Kapu Kai. In its initial writing, it’s no more than a Daiquiri with Lemon Hart 151 plugged in for a bit of a “supercharge”...
Can I get a cocktail post in here? Yes, and soon… soon as I recover from last night’s TDN. In the meantime, a discussion of the comings and goings in my life, booze related...
Continuing in the series of EZ TIKI drinks, here we have the Jasper’s Jamaican, a fantastic little concoction I first tried when prepping for Beachbum Berry’s Potions of the Caribbean seminar at last year’s Tales of the Cocktail...
I just got back from what has to have been one of the best experiences I have ever had, the Grand Marnier Mixology Summit. Before I really hunker down and talk about it, I’d thought I’d share one of the drinks I submitted, and made for my consulting lab, the Sweet Ron Swizzle...
Hey there folks, you still with me here? I’ve been a busy bastard lately. I’ve unleasehed a new spring menu upon the patrons of Acadia Bistro, greeted foreign dignitaries (well, from PA and LA), and am now just counting down to hit the Grand Marnier Mixology Summit...
Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve had a Thursday off. Not that I had this one off, but I just happened to get out of work early enough to hit up this week’s TDN: Long Island Iced Tea. An idea had been kicking around in my noggin since the topic had been raised. What would Donn do...
As seen over on Deadspin, a company is selling their once beloved “Funny Boni“, a Zamboni revved up into a full throttle mobile tiki bar. It’s available over at eBay Motors, and bidding ends March 11th. Words fail me...
Alright folks, for those of you who haven’t noticed the new mini-tab in the navigation, I’ve got a new feature down in Reynolés Galley, the Galley Cam...
As pointed out to me by Craig, over at Boing Boing they’ve got an excerpt from a Boston Globe interview with the author of Squeezed: What You Don’t Know About Orange Juice. What isn’t straightforward about orange juice? HAMILTON: It’s a heavily processed product...
Welcome to the first part on a series of Easy Tiki Drinks. Tiki Mixology has gotten a bad rap over the years. The complexity of the concoctions and obscurity of ingredients have deemed Tiki drinks a no-go for home mixologists and bartenders alike...
Not really, and it’s a bit late in this, but if you haven’t been reading The Pegu Blog, it’s all about Tiki this month, and what a month it has been...
Hard times are all around us right now. The job market is slumping, real estate values are dropping, there’s a global economic crisis looming on the horizon. What better time for a drink...
Lev1tr@, V1@gr@, and now, L3 Tormen7 V3r7. I’ve received quite a bit of spam in my time on the internet, but none so… well, painful. I’d like to think that my time here does not go to waste...
I’m sure somewhere, deep in the cockles of your heart, this question has been asked. TDN stands for Thursday Drink Night, a Mixoloseum hosted event...
Another month, another MxMo, so they say. And who are they? I cannot say. But for sure, this is a challenging MxMo idea, as hosted by The Scribe over at A Mixed Dram. So, broaden my horizons, eh? Well, the first thing that came to mind was, thankfully, the first thing in the description, Tequila...
Just noticed this over at NOTCOT, the lucky buggers there got a chance to visit the newly opened Frankie’s Tiki Room in Las Vegas, Nevada. You can see their lovely pics in the blog post of their visit...
Cross-posted from the Mixoloseum blog When searching through the liqueurs available at your local (or internet local) liquor store, there are some liqueurs that immediately catch your eye...
Cross posted from the Mixoloseum Blog. Wassailing, now known mostly as that strange word in that one Christmas song, was once a holiday tradition so filled with mildly hidden threat, the Victorians banned the festivities...
The theme for this month’s Mixology Monday, hosted by my great friend (and nearby neighbor) Craig over at Tiki Drinks and Indigo Firmaments, is Spice...
Just a fun bit of bilge, Reynolés Galley was featured in the most recent On The Rocks column in the Portland Tribune. I’m going to have to go hit the store for a physical copy… to send to me mum, of course. On the rocks: The bar’s where
With the upcoming gift giving season, I thought I’d throw out this little gift guide. Consider this your shopping list for the Tikiphile or Mixologist in your life. Hell, just give yourself a little something this hoilday season, you deserve it...
if you haven’t noticed, it’s been a bit quieter around these parts lately. Nothing but the internet version of tumbleweeds rolling across the screen. Well, my apologies for that, it’s been quite a bit busy here at Trader Tiki headquarters...
