It’s Word Association Day at Booze Dancing central! Here goes… Agave? Tequila! Grapefruit? Paloma! Paloma? Yes, Paloma. A delightfully refreshing cocktail made with Tequila and a grapefruit based soda, served over ice with a wedge of lime. That’s what popped into my head when I saw the label on the […]
I’m not really sure what the above scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail has to do with a Boozy Root Beer Float. They did say the word “float” over and over again, so I guess there’s that as a possible connection. Whatever the reason, once that […]
Last fall I was “on assignment” to take some cocktail photos for a client and was told it would be at a bar – The Jeffrey… with a bartender – The Bearded Alchemist… They told me his name, but when you hear the moniker “The Bearded Alchemist,” you don’t […]

Once again, I walked out to the mail box and found that the utility companies still want to be paid for services. G-LO on the other hand found two bottles of Bas-Armagnac. I must live on the wrong block, or maybe the postman is a little sweet on […]
There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, “I don’t know”. In a world filled with “experts”, I find it refreshing when someone is honest enough to know the limits of their knowledge or skill set. “I don’t know” was the subject of a 2014 Freakonomics podcast titled “The […]
My boy G-LO is a big fan of the cocktail, and on those rare occasions when he’s motivated enough to don his bartender’s cap, he’ll expend a great deal of effort to throw together a respectable and representable version of whatever cocktail he’s been inspired to make. I […]
As I’ve previously noted, I’m a big fan of the beer flight and have had them served to me many different ways. This one time, I had a flight served to me on a paddle. This other time, I had a flight served to me on a ski. […]
