Mixology Monday 51: Lime

Doug — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:12:55 +0000

Image lifted from Feasting on… Pixels. (See below) And so here we go. Monday, Sept. 20th was the fifty first Mixology Monday carnival of cocktails, the monthly roundup of related posts that originally forged the first, disparate cocktail blogs into today’s thriving Cocktailosphere. As the designated glutton for punishment host of this month’s round up, [...]

Lime Roundup

The Guy — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:51:10 +0000

Howdy, folks! Guy here. This month, Mixology Monday has got itself a lime theme. Since the bossman offered space to other folks who wanted to write a MxMo post, I thought I’d belly up to the bar myself. How’s about we round up a whole bunch of miscellaneous information about limes in cocktails? A lot [...]

MxMo: Key Lime Pie

maggi — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 01:32:23 +0000

Key lime pie must never be green! No. If you are in the Keys (or, really, anywhere) and the “Key lime” pie you are served is a rather off-putting shade of beige, just close your eyes and enjoy. Yes. Even better, get it frozen… on a stick… dipped in dark chocolate!

MxMo: Lime – Garnish

Doug — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 20:27:49 +0000

The fifty-first installment of Mixology Monday (a.k.a. The Carnival That Created the Cocktailosphere) has the theme of Lime, and is being hosted at… well, here! I’ll thus skip all the general introductory discussion, leaving that for the announcement and the eventual roundup, and delve right into my offering. I’m a fan of Audrey Saunders’ Pegu [...]

Announcement: September 20th Will Be MxMo—Lime

Doug — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:51:18 +0000

The next round of Mixology Monday (a.k.a. The Carnival That Created the Cocktailosphere) will once again be hosted here at the Pegu Blog. This month, I thought we should examine one of the most ubiquitous items in any decent bar: Limes. Limes are an ingredient. Limes are a garnish. A bowl of them makes a [...]

Mixology Monday: Brown Bitter and Stirred—Rum Old Fashioned

Doug — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:20:14 +0000

Brown, Bitter, and Stirred. That is this month’s invocation for Mixology Monday, hosted this round by Lindsey Johnson of Lush Life Productions at her blog, er, Brown Bitter and Stirred. At first glance, it is almost too easy. The phrase itself is practically a recipe for the first cocktail, and three mighty elders of classic [...]

BlogBarCrawl Update

Doug — Fri, 14 May 2010 14:55:04 +0000

I’m happy to have discovered another cocktail blogger who actually works at this, Andrew Bohrer, of the blog Caskstrength. Andrew can carve an ice ball in 42 seconds, and creates famous bartender action figures out of Legos. I ran across Andrew’s blog because he is hosting the next Mixology Monday. The theme this month is [...]

Blogbarcrawl Update: Mime McSorley of McSology

Doug — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:05:51 +0000

As some none of you may have noticed, I have failed to participate in Mixology Monday for a while. Shame on me. I do hope to manage it this April 26th, when McSology will be hosting MxMo XLVIII: Pain in the Ass Drinks! I had missed Mike McSorley’s blog before now, but was excited to [...]

Mixology Monday XL: Ginger

Doug — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:29:03 +0000

Whew. I was this close to writing another of my FAIL posts about how Mixology Monday has come again, and all my experiments yielded crap. It’s happened before. Also, it’s come close before as well. Well, it seemed to be happening again this time for real, in a big time way. Everything I had on [...]

Mixology Monday XXXIX is Now Up, Once Again Pegu Blog-Free

Doug — Thu, 21 May 2009 13:48:09 +0000

Well, I missed MxMo XXXIX this month, as I have all too often recently. Sigh. Chuck Taggart’s roundup is now posted at Looka!, so go take a gander. Hard as it is to imagine, a MxMo without me somehow manages to scrape by in its usual, thoroughly fascinating way. The subject, by the way, is [...]

Mixology Monday XXXVII: The First Time

Doug — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:50:38 +0000

This month’s Mixology Monday, hosted by the fabulous broads at LUPEC Boston, asks a question that is of genuine importance: Given someone who has never had a cocktail before (tragic, I know), what would you offer them as their first? You never get a second chance at a first impression, after all. Let me guess. [...]

Mixology Monday XXXV: Broaden Your Horizons

Doug — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:23:36 +0000

This month’s MxMo is being hosted by the Scribe, over at A Mixed Dram. His theme this month is Broaden Your Horizons. The idea is that we must write about something new to us in the cocktail world. Something we haven’t tried before. He specifically calls out Morganthaler, daring him to find some way to [...]

Mixology Monday: Spice

Doug — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:14:03 +0000

Sorry folks, I got nothing today. More specifically, I got no time today! I just wanted to throw up this post to remind any stragglers to go to Tiki Drinks and Indigo Firmaments and check for Craig’s roundup of all the best the cocktailosphere has to offer on the use of spices in drinks! Or [...]

Mixology Monday XXXIII: Made From Scratch-Updated

Doug — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:58:19 +0000

It’s Monday, folks! Yes, that Monday! It is time for Mixology Monday XXXIII. Welcome to the thirty-third monthly round up of the sublime and ridiculous best the cocktailosphere has to offer. This month we all are offering you libations made at least in part from homemade ingredients. No matter how skilled you are are making, [...]

Made From Scratch: The Jack Rose

Doug — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:49:08 +0000

It’s Mixology Monday time again. This month’s extravaganza is hosted over at… well… right here! The theme this month is Made From Scratch, and our charge is to make a cocktail that is improved by the use of one or more homemade alternatives to commercially available ingredients. Come back soon for my full rundown on [...]

Lessons Learned From Mixology Monday XXXII

Doug — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:42:03 +0000

OK, I my MxMo post stated almost self-evidently that my Guilty Pleasure was made with Vodka. Further, I expected to find a lot of others who would do the same, and comment that part of the guilt was the Vodka itself! Since Stevi has put up the roundup, I have been eagerly perusing everybody’s very [...]
