We have, finally and officially, moved.
If you are reading this on LiveJournal - well, that whole community.livejournal etc. etc. etc. URL - we are no longer posting on there.

Mixology Monday: My Entry for Bourbon
I can't forget to include MYSELF, can I?
Bourbon is an old friend of mine, and with that, I couldn't resist at first going for a variation of a Lynchburg Lemonade. I had a lot of ideas on how to deal with one of those and then I had this (censored) conversation with Marshall:

Congratulations to a Local Mixologist!!!
One of the blogs that I check almost every day is Camper English's Alcademics. In yesterday's post, he linked to an article that he wrote for The Beverage Network's magazine titled "The Beverage Networks 10 Trendsetting Mixologists."
