Drinking

It’s amazing the difference a small change can make in a drink.  I recently came across noted cocktail historian and master of mixology David Wondrich‘s column in the latest Esquire (UPDATE: Now with internets!) on the technique of rinsing.  It’s exactly what it sounds like:  rinsing the inside of a glass with a spirit before […]

I touched briefly on garnish not long ago in an Ask DrinkPlanner, but if you want to learn more, check out the recap of the Garnish Chat from last Thursday over at the Mixoloseum.  They had some highly knowledgable people (like Tiare, KaiserPenguin, and special guest Jeff “Beachbum” Berry) on hand to talk about history

Filed under the category of “one of a handful of alcohol-based products I’ll probably never use” is Whipped Lightning aka whipahol, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: whipped cream infused with the unbridled fury of nature’s electricity alcohol. Weighing in at 36 proof, which is higher than I’d expect, the whipped drink

Finally, at long last, Yuengling is coming to Atlanta.  Georgia has long been a holdout on the East Coast, but Yuengling was finally able to fight through all of this state’s insanely retarded alcohol laws and they are now allowed to sell their beer to all of us thirsty citizens.  Now I won’t have to

I swear, this gig just keeps getting better and better.  People send me new booze to try out, new products to test and review, and it’s all stuff I’d pretty much use (or at least lust after) in my personal life.  Which brings us to this item, The DeCapper.  As the name hints, it’s a

Back at it…it’s review time! Today we take a look at…Sobieski Vodka The Lowdown:  Vodka confuses me.  Is it supposed to taste like something, or taste like nothing?  Should it just be avoiding comparisons to rubbing alcohol?  If the point of it is to taste like nothing, then what makes one better than another?  If

Just in time for Halloween, it’s a bone-chilling true-life story you won’t soon forget… Let me start by saying that generally speaking, Saturday was a great day.  I got to spend time with family, friends old and new and, until a point…had a blast.  However, the event that occurred in the wee hours of the

One day, I’m going to write a love letter to Google.  They know my heart so completely, so intimately, it’s clear that we were made for each other and should buy a chateau in the French Alps (though we will have to have a serious talk about Analytics and how uncharacteristically unintuitive it is). Today,

It’s hard to believe, but just 1 year ago today, DrinkPlanner.com was birthed onto the internet, kicking and screaming and in dire need of a drink.  While the first post was a bit more local-drink-special-oriented (though worldwide domination by a zombie army was promised) we’ve come a long way since then.  Even though we didn’t

Yes, of course it’s a joke.  Everyone knows that if you were going to make a flask out of an office appliance, it would be the 3-hole punch.  DUH. See more funny videos at Funny or Die A stapler could only hold like 4 ozs  THINK PEOPLE! Spread the Word: « Debate Drinking Game Crystal
