Those crazy-awesome crazies at The A.V. Club made and tasted bacon-infused vodka.
My only problem with the whole enterprise is that they couldn’t figure out a simple way to get all the fat out. All you have to do is pour the whole thing into a parallel-sided container and pop it in the freezer. [...]

Red Bull Cola
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Ever since I was at VCU I always noticed the Red Bull vehicles driving around campus, or their less fortunate employees hoofing it around the student commons with cases of the energy drink. It was a free can from one such over-enthusiastic Red Buller that introduced me to what I consider a putrid beverage. [...]
For that killer drink…

For that tasty mix of irony and awesome, you really ought to consider a tray that makes bullet-shaped ice.
Champagne Expands
Friday, May 9, 2008
I caught a story on NPR’s Morning Edition on the way to work about France expanding its Champagne region (and thus potential production acreage) to about 40 more villages in the area. This is, apparently, the first time in around 100 years that more territory has been brought into the appellation.
I can’t imagine how [...]
Boylan’s Soda
Monday, May 5, 2008
As is often the case, it was my wife who suggested going to Buzz and Ned’s barbecue when we headed out for lunch with her mom yesterday.
When I placed my order, I decided I’d try a Boylan’s Creme Soda - something I’d never had before. In fact, I failed to recall any time when [...]
Absinthe? Legal? HERE?!
Friday, January 25, 2008
I’d known for quite some time that the EU legalized the sale of Absinthe a few years ago, but I had no idea that the wormwood-infused boisson was now allowed in the U-S-of-A.
Now to seek out a bottle of the stuff…
Monkey Tea, Monkey Do
Thursday, January 17, 2008
How can you make almost anything better? With MONKEYS, that’s how. And tea, that fine brewed beverage, is no exception (yes, monkeys really picked this tea). If this stuff wasn’t so pricey, I’d consider purchasing a pouch, because really - shouldn’t monkey’s do more work for us?

Christmas Tipple
Thursday, November 29, 2007
As Christmas approaches and the weather turns chilly, I’m reminded that it’s Eggnog Time. And I LOVE eggnog.
Or, at least, I love the stuff you buy in the carton. I’ve never actually had homemade eggnog, alcoholic or otherwise. I’m hoping, however, that this changes tonight when I attempt to follow Alton Brown’s [...]
Shaken first, stirred later.

The BBC reports today about an suicidal Italian tourist treated with vodka in an Australian hospital when the medicinal alcohol ran out.
I’d like to go out drinking with those doctors.
Pint-Sized Victory
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
Looks like you’ll still be able to order pints in merry-old England. That’s good, because “Gimme a half-litre of lager” doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue.
