Cocktail Flight
For a while in the Millennium Age, an airplane was the only place you could continue living the analog life. That was, and continues to be, the only place remaining in the cocktail Stone Age of Mixology. The only options are basic mixed drinks, poured a minimum of ways, with a minimum of mixers. The only light that shines is the Spirit magazine that offers a bit of mixology, with a cocktail gem by...

The Congenial Haiku
Sometimes you need more than 700 words to tell a story; sometimes you need less than 15. What is the purpose of the good people here at ThCgnlHr? Let a haiku tell the story… To drink or not to — ehhh; rather how, where, and why…  #getcongenial.

Pouring Off the Fiscal Cliff | Washington Post...
Two definites in life: death and taxes. But what gets taxed? In the presence of bartenders, cocktail swiggers, and spirit tipplers, many topics of conversation cross the bar, from marriage to sports to religion…politics is also high on the list. But who would know that contained within the biggest issue in political discourse of the past month lay a little nugget of drinking culture?...

DayDrinking | Tailgate Wines →
‘Tis the season. Football season, that is. One of the best experiences of partaking in pigskin culture is tailgating, a whole day, or longer, engaged in fraternizing with friends, family, fans, and strangers over a spread that would put a Thanksgiving meal to shame. BBQ grills usually are in abundance and high regard in this outdoor cornucopia, used to bring glorious recipes to life and spur...

Hurricane Damage | Bounty After the Storm →
When talking drinking, hearing the word “Hurricane” usually makes people shudder. The cocktail-as-named has been known to make many a person quiver under the multiple rums used; the curvaceous glass has no soft touch for light imbibers. It can be a very tasty drink if crafted respectfully, but does not hold the same refreshment quotient as a G&T or Cape Codder. Similarly, hearing...

Purity of Drinking | Article on Effects of... →
I poured the ingredients into the mixing glass: some Irish spirit, some herbal aperitif, couple handmade modifiers and sweeteners. Shook the cocktail like my life depended on it, and strained it into the waiting wine glass. With a shimmer on my tooth and a bead of sweat on my forehead, I offered one to the first woman, and extended another to her friend. “Oh, no thanks, I don’t drink....
