Sorry folks, no drink recipe today… More of a treatise on how, when and why I chose to drink.

To begin with, a lot of people tend to get the impression that I’m some kind of pisshead due to my obsession with the booze. As you’ve pro0bably noticed, there are a lot of cocktail recipes on this blog. At last count I think I’ve got 53 recipes. That’s enough to not only fill a book, but probably hit on something that people actually enjoy drinking!

Then there’s also my rather large collection of liquor miniatures (there are a lot more not photographed) and liquor cabinet that used to contain enough to fatally poison most of a football team, but now only contains enough to kill the girl they’re mass raping. At least she’ll not have to deal with the memories. Hooray! (more…)

After listening to some Marcy Playground in store, a customer directed me to a site with lessons on Surviving The World on one particular lyric.

From there, apparently there is a cocktail based on the line about “sweet, sweet violation”… yet still no candy for just sex & candy.

Let’s change that, starting this weekend. (more…)

So with all the work I’ve been doign for Manifest, I figured, fuck it I need a drink.

Last year I made one after the mascot, Peppa Chan, but this year I’ve decided I hate her. Hate her with a passion only born of complete and utter neglect and then having her intrude on my psyche once more. So what else can I base a drink on and draw inspiration?

Well, if rumours are anything to go by, one of the guests I’ve been arranring is something of a party animal and he could probably do with a drink too, so let’s make a drink for him, and one of his better known roles. (more…)

I will admit I’ve been listening to a lot of Electric Six lately. It’s funky, upbeat music that still manages to have almost every sleazy part of the goth scene I happen to enjoy… plus semi-

naked, oiled up Abraham Lincoln! There’s also an 80s synth sound mixed in with all the funk that just reminds me of all those awesome 80s bands that somehow find their way onto gawth playlists. Duran Duran… delicious winter fruits…. and semi-naked ABRAHAM LINCOLN!

So to that extent, I made a drink to go along with this musical proclivity. (more…)
