When you’re down with a cold, whiskey really is the best medicine.

Scotch, citrus and cherry brandy, oh my!

Cocktails are a sure way to ease the transition from holiday bustle to ‘holy Moses, it’s 2009 already?!?!’
Direct Action Cocktail
October 19th, 2008 | by Marleigh | published in bourbon, whisk(e)y
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day and all our yesterdays light fools the way to dusty death.

Celebrating old friends with a new drink for Mixology Monday: Bourbon.
Whiskey & Ginger Muddle
June 10th, 2008 | by Marleigh | published in bourbon, liqueur, recipes, whisk(e)y
I splurged on some early apricots two weeks ago but my enthusiasm wasn’t rewarded; they were still a little too firm and bitter, so I had to turn to the old faithful dried apricots to get my spring stone fruit fix.
Blood and Sand
January 24th, 2008 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, recipes, scotch, whisk(e)y
It occurred to me that a drink inspired by a matador could stand to be a little bit bloodier, so I turned to the Blood and Sand to use up my stash of fresh blood oranges.
Robert Burns Cocktail

Happy New Year, friends. 2007 was quite the year, in ways both positive and negative, but we came out of it hale and hearty and hoping that 2008 will keep all the promise it presently holds. As such, I’m cleaning out the queue and posting a lingerer—a post that I really meant to publish before [...]
Suffering Bastard
November 12th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in bourbon, brandy, gin, mixers, MxMo, recipes, whisk(e)y
It’s Mixology Monday again, this time hosted by gin enthusiast Jay over at Oh Gosh! This drink is something of a pain. See, there are two Suffering Bastards in the world—this drink, which was invented at Shepherd’s Hotel in Cairo by a fellow named Joe Scialom, and the tiki version that came about via Trader [...]
Scoff Law Cocktail
November 7th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, mixers, recipes, rye, whisk(e)y
Generally I try to learn from my mistakes. Using all whole-wheat flour when making pancakes? Little bit like eating cardboard. Drinking anything of a color that resembles neon? Hangover. Taking on my sister at Dance Dance Revolution? Sweaty, pathetic failure. As a result, I don’t do these things anymore. Thus, when cruising through the Savoy [...]
Sea Captain’s Special
September 29th, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in liqueur, recipes, rye, sparkling wine, whisk(e)y
I found this stashed in Esquire Drinks in the chapter on what to imbibe when you’re dealing with having had a bit too much. I didn’t realize this at the time, as I was looking for something to make with an open bottle of cava, so the hefty pour of whiskey didn’t seem strange to [...]
Vieux Carré
August 21st, 2007 | by Marleigh | published in brandy, liqueur, recipes, rye, whisk(e)y
Of late, most of my cocktail forays are motivated by a strong desire to unwind. I was trolling for something that would hit the spot and hit on the Vieux Carré over at Drinkboy. This one is a classic that I’ve floated past a few times, mostly because I always lack one of the ingredients. [...]
