What's Behind the Cocktail Explosion?

Jeffery Lindenmuth has written an interesting piece on the rising popularity of cocktails for The Beverage Network. A little bit about what people drink, a little bit about drink lists, and a little bit about Jimmy's Cocktail Hour. Check it out if you have a chance.

Most states are covered by the Beverage Network, in California we call it the BIN book. It might be called Beverage Journal, Beverage Guide, or Beverage Advisor in your state. The article is also available online as a PDF. (Registration may be required.)

Rye in the San Francisco Chronicle

Gary Regan's got a nice article about Rye Whiskey in the Chronicle. He also mentions my Bergeron (Rye Tai) cocktail. Thanks Gary.

Gary Reagan has written a nice article about gin for the San Francisco Chronicle. Gary was kind enough to mention my Habanero Orange Blossom in the article. When I get a chance, I'll post the full recipe here.
