I can’t explain how I’ve managed to stay interested in mixology this long without ever getting around to mixing myself a drink as enticingly named as the Suffering Bastard. The drink’s genesis can be traced to the Long Bar at the Shepheard Hotel in Cairo. As the story goes, in the late 1940s, the Shepheard’s…

Tall, refreshing, and bittersweet. If you read the headline and thought, “Starbucks,” you’re missing out on something here. While my knowledge of coffee history is sorely lacking, I’d still wager that this Americano predates the now-familiar mix of espresso and hot water. First served in Milan around 1861, this fizzy aperitif became popular among American…

At the very peak of summer, the epitome of a sharp, clean, refreshing cocktail is usually a daiquiri variation. Sure, long slow-sippers like mojitos and rickeys are invaluable when it’s absolutely baking outside, but on a Friday afternoon right after work when you need the crack of a starting pistol to start the summer weekend,…

My normal morning routine always includes a green drink for breakfast. Sometimes that is enough to fill me up, other mornings I might add a little something on the side. One of my favorites is cinnamon raisin toast. This morning, I had a huge bunch of spinach from my farmer’s market trip, yesterday. I usually…

Hold the Bailey’s, and don’t overdo the cream or sugar. When St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, rather than consuming drinks only relevant to the holiday because they’re greenish, you can mix up something that’s tasty and satisfying while still remaining true to the Irish tradition. Now a familiar staple on many bar and restaurant menus,…

Author Notes This is another of my mom’s recipe for a refreshing and healthy drink that could be served chilled or hot. I will have to search and find the species name for the Chinese grass, but in Cantonese, it is pronounced “gum ngun fa.” —thedarcsage Serves 6 Ingredients 1 bunch chrysanthemum flowers – 2…

During the dark, dry years of Prohibition, thousands of thirsty Americans made it a point of vacationing in Cuba. Not only did the island nation offer an alluring Caribbean climate, but Havana was home to many bartenders who kept the rum flowing. Created by legendary New York bartender Dale DeGroff as a tribute to those…

As I wrote on Wednesday, Cynar is a bitter Italian liqueur flavored with more than a dozen botanicals, including most notably artichokes. While this distinctive amaro is enjoying a bit of a moment among craft bartenders nowadays, five years ago you’d have been hard-pressed to find many Cynar-laced cocktails. Here’s one that helped get things…

Earlier this week, Rachel Maddow’s appearance with Jimmy Fallon sent countless thirsty web-surfers Googling for the Bijou Cocktail. I consider this a public service on her part: the Bijou is one of those full-flavored cocktails that defined drinking in the late 19th century, with the kind of big, elaborate character that fell out of favor…

Susan   |   February 24, 2010The temp here dipped below zero again last night. Seriously, isn’t spring supposed to be coming? Aren’t we supposed to be warming up just a little? I built a big fire in the fireplace and settled down with the pups. What was I missing? A big mug of hot chocolate. I have a…

Two hundred years ago, ordering a flip would have likely brought you a steaming tankard of hot ale mixed with eggs, cream, sugar and rum, either heated over a fire or, if you’re lucky, scorched to foaming, sputtering pyrotechnics by plunging a red-hot iron loggerhead into the murky mix. Cool presentation? Absolutely. Tasty? Umm… Today,…

During the holidays even the most reluctant cooks take their shot in the kitchen. It’s much the same with drinks. Those who would ordinarily get no more creative than opening a beer find themselves caught with the idea of mixing a fancy seasonal drink. Holiday cheer comes in many forms—unfortunately many of those forms are…

“The Bloody Mary is open to almost any interpretation.” I hesitate to even broach the topic of the Bloody Mary. For one thing, it’s one of those ubiquitous drinks that absolutely everyone has their own way of preparing. So why even bring it up? Because everyone has their own way of preparing it, and I’m…

Let’s start the weekend right–with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke of The Cocktail Chronicles. Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! In a recent diatribe against oppressive summer heat, I praised the class of crushed ice drinks known as swizzles. Originating in the Caribbean and typically made of rum, lime juice, and…

As I wrote on Wednesday, it’s cold out there. But unless you live in Florida or Southern California and have been so distracted by the sunshine and clear skies, you probably already knew that. Fortunately for this frigid time of year, there are hot drinks to help you through. Here’s a warming cup that’s not…
