Two weeks ago, the editors at Parched No More posted their top ten choices for Thanksgiving cocktails. As hard as it was to narrow the list down to ten drinks, it seemed daunting to choose one favorite. With a variety of drinks from which to choose, including martinis, a margarita, a frappe, a cider drink, an eggnog, and a wine-tail, the options seemed overwhelming.
However, polling has ended, and our readers have spoken. We are pleased to announce that the Pumkinlicious Martini from ECO-BAR was chosen as the favorite drink for Thanksgiving. In order to create this delicious beverage

Beer Review: Pennichuck Brewing Co., Fireman’s Pail Ale
by J Frazzetta on November 16th, 2009 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle, 22oz
I was going over the beers I had to sample and came across this large bottle. Nothing can motivate you to drink a 22-ounce bottle of beer more than the rainy weather. I busted out the big glass, took the beer from the fridge and gave it a good pour. Good color and strong aroma, this beer had me at hello.
There was a bitter flavor, to be expected from any pale beer, but it wasn’t overpowering. I think having it in the fridge for about 40 minutes then giving a straight pour into the glass helped the flavor

Beer Review: Long Trail, Pollenator

Bottle/Tap: Bottle
A few weeks back I was in Vermont camping with friends, and we paid a visit to the Long Trail Brewery. We had a good time with great food and some delicious beer. One of those beers was the Pollenator, and I decided to grab a bottle to bring back home with me since it was such a rare release.
The other night I thought to crack it open and re-live the magic I had back in September. What did I learn? Sometimes memories are better off left as that, memories and reliving them will not bring back the

With three weeks until Thanksgiving, many people have begun planning their menus: appetizers, dinner, and dessert. Not to be forgotten are the beverages that you serve. While you can't go wrong with a bottle of Chenin Blanc or Shiraz, a little mixing, shaking, and blending can infuse a little more fun into your holiday.
We solicited recipes for Thanksgiving-inspired cocktails. Our editors have chosen their ten favorite and now are seeking our readers' thoughts. Which cocktail is the most tantalizing for Turkey Day? Read their descriptions, then cast your vote.

Beer Review: Widmer Brothers, Drifter
by J Frazzetta on November 2nd, 2009 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Several weeks ago at the Wicked Wine and Brewfest I had the chance to sample some of this pale ale but hadn’t found it anywhere since. Recently, I happened to walk through the beer section of a local supermarket and found a six-pack of this delightful brew just waiting for me. I was pretty happy to find this and take it home to see if it was good as I remembered.
This is a 5.7% pale ale. I put it in a fridge to cool down a bit before I cracked one open. It had a good amber color in
