Lots of good stories on the radar here at Cocktailians HQ:
- Wow, when I posted the picture of the Gimlet garnished with a borage flower yesterday, I didn't know I was being trendy;
- Here's a great interview with FCI beverage maven (and drinkblogger) Alexis Kahn and tech-crazed genius Dave Arnold;
- and speaking of Dave, he drops more cocktail science, with Why Do My Shaker Cans Get Sucked Together? and All-Star Shake-off at Pegu Club Testing Shaking Differences Between Bartenders Qualitatively;
- Imbibe covers the last New York seltzer man;
- Marshall from Scofflaw's Den follows up on my post about the intellectual property of booze from a couple weeks ago, and in grand style: he invited IP lawyer Chris Leger to weigh in on the subject;
- Chuck Taggart gives us an awesome, authoritative post on lemonade and some its wonderful variations;
- The Dizzy Fizz highlights some upcoming cocktail contests;
- Robert Simonson, writing in the Times, gives us an authoritative look at the historical accuracy of the cocktailing on "Mad Men";
- while Stephanie M of Astor Wines & Spirits picks cocktails for the women of "Mad Men";
- and AMC itself provides a 1960s cocktail guide on its "Mad Men" site;
- National Geographic Traveler names the Kentucky Bourbon Trail one of its "Drives of a Lifetime"; and
- here's a bar that this website will not be reviewing.
Thanks for the link to my FCI interview!
