Booze Burgers and Beats The Internet's XanaxI’m not that familiar with Shiraz as when I drink red I tend to drink a lot more Pinot Noir, Cabarnet and Italian reds like Nero d’Avolo, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and moderately priced Barolo. I’m also a huge fan of Amarone and Chateauneuf Du Pape but rarely put the cake up to indulge in those beast [...]

I’ve really come to enjoy Sauvignon Blanc over the past few months. I doubt that it’s going to overtake Riesling as my favorite white wine grape but I’m learning to love the gooseberry flavors associated with the wine, especially ones produced in Marlborough, New Zealand. Crossroads is indeed produced in the aforementioned region and is [...]

I’ve got to give props to my boy Gianluca here. For those of you who don’t know who he is, he has a website called pizza and coffee that gives a richer history of both subjects than anything you’ll find on a blog or at a bookstore, he’s a frequent contributor to Adam Kuban’s Slice, [...]

This is a cocktail that I came up with to celebrate my love affair with the mixture of soda and rum, specifically cola and rum, known as the Cuba Libre. There’s only so much fun you can we have rum and cola though, even with all the rum and microbrewery soda now available in New [...]

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on beer. It’s not because I don’t like the taste of it, I think it’s delicious, but I also think that I’d be 500 pounds if I pounded a few day down everyday. So I have one every two weeks or so [...]

At about $16 a bottle, Appleton White from Jamaica is another example of a light rum that is a far better product and value than the “cookie cutter” liquor store, alternative, Bacardi. Appleton uses a blend of different copper pot distilled rums and then shortly ages the final mix in oak casts. The rum is [...]

I’ve got a really simple, refreshing cocktail for you guys and gals this week, the Bay Breeze. You can make this drink with either vodka or light rum but because there’s pineapple juice involved, I suggest using light rum which works better with tropical juices. Remember to try to use something other than Bacardi, which [...]

was amped when I opened the large box from Dry Soda that contained their newest flavor, cucumber. Not only is it a mere 45 calories per bottle but it is absolutely refreshing and delicious. Information on Dry’s site suggest that it should be paired with citrus vodka, cucumber gin and tequila. I could totally see [...]

There are a couple of cocktail recipes that call for Kola tonic, a sort of coca-cola syrup that uses Kola nut as one if it’s main ingredients. Rose’s and Clayton’s make the only two types of Kola tonic that I know of and I’ve been able to find either available for retail in Manhattan. Across [...]

As summer winds down to an end, another cocktail I’d recommend trying out while the weather is still warm, is the Americano. It’s great to drink prior to meal and it’s low alcohol content assures that you’ll get through dinner coherently. The drink was first served during the 1860′s in Gaspare Campari’s bar, Cafe Campari [...]
