Get Hit By the Bulleit
by Jason Lightner on July 29th, 2011 | Liquor
Why hello there, whiskey! It's been a while, has it not? I've missed your warm glow, I've missed the fire you bring to the table, but most of all, I've missed your comfort on those nights full of regret and self-loathing, not to mention crying myself to sleep lonely nights. You're a true friend, a gentleman and a scholar. You bring not only wisdom, but also a distinguished air about you that few can match.

Gotham Bar and Grill, New York, NY
by Michele on July 28th, 2011 | Restaurant Review
Last week I wrote about a three year old vodka company that has a growing group of admirers. Double Cross Vodka has been added to the bar of many restaurants across the country, one of which is Gotham Bar and Grill. This classic fine dining restaurant has a dining menu and bar, which are sure to impress. During a visit to NYC, I was able to speak with Rick Pitcher, bar manager and sommelier.
Rick has worked in the restaurant and bar industry for many years, having spent the last four at Gotham Bar and Grill. In his current

Lately, when I go outside it feels like I’m walking into a raging sauna room. Make no mistake - summer is here. Between the heat and the rapidly increasing humidity, the last thing I have on my mind is a long, savory wine. I want something that’s refreshing and easy to drink.

Raspberry-Basil Vodka Smash… (or build your own)
by Dennis Mayer on July 26th, 2011 | Cocktails, Mixed Drinks
I'm always a little put-off when people ask me for a particular drink recipe. "How do you make that?" If it didn't sound so glib, my response would always begin with "Well, how do you want it?"
Drink recipes are, after all, fluid (forgive the pun.) Do you like your mint julep with a spritz of soda water? A slice of lime? Then that's the right way to make it. Sure, it might not have been the way to make a "traditional" julep - but if julep drinkers in the antebellum South had ready access to limes, chances are they'd try

When I’m on exotic weekend getaways, I do my best to bring back a beer that I’ve never had before and can’t find in my area. On a recent trip to Connecticut I stopped into a liquor store and picked up a six of this intriguing brew to bring home for sampling. There are a few criteria the beer must meet before I take it home: the label and brewer must have a cool name, check; it has to be something I have never seen before, check; it should be a variety I haven’t had
