You might recall I was nominated for a Foodbuzz award for best cocktail/spirits blog, along with Jay Hepburn from Oh Gosh!, Marleigh and Dan Miller of Sloshed, and Jeffrey Morgenthaler. The winners were announced earlier tonight, and the honor goes to Marleigh and Dan at Sloshed. Congratulations to them, and thanks to everyone who voted, even those of you who traitorously voted against me.

A Dash of Bitters has been nominated for a Foodbuzz Award in the category Best Cocktail/Spirits Blog! And the competition is stiffer than the drinks around here: I’m up against Jay Hepburn from Oh Gosh!, Marleigh and Dan Miller of Sloshed, and Jeffrey Morgenthaler of the wittily named Jeffrey Morgenthaler blog. I know it’s cliché to say these things, but I am honestly honored to be in this company. I know and like all of these people, and I read their blogs avidly. I’ll be happy no matter who wins, but I’ll be even happier if I win!

If you’re inclined to vote, go here and vote! You have until October 29th. They do want you to register, but all you need provide is name and email. You do not need to vote in every category. Cheers!

This is my beautiful house! This is my beautiful wife!

September 22, 2009

Sorry for the non-cocktail digression. My wife, Jennifer Hess, who blogs at Last Night’s Dinner and takes most of the beautiful pictures you see here, is featured in the Dining and Wine section of Wednesday’s New York Times, in a piece by Kim Severson about crowd-sourcing cookbooks and recipes. That’s Jen above, so nice [...]

B24 TDN

April 30, 2009

Well, I kinda promised another drink recipe before now. Unfortunately, between getting ready for a quick trip home to see family and actually taking that trip home to family, I didn’t quite get around to prepping anything.
That’s okay, though, because the wifey did, while I was away. What? It kept her from the pool halls, [...]

Maintenance

January 31, 2009

I’m working with my webhost to migrate over to a new server. I’ll spare you the boring details, but it will enable me to incorporate some nifty new design elements on this site. It does, however, mean that this site will probably go dark for a little while during the migration period. I have no [...]

Ted Haigh, on NPR

December 28, 2008

For anyone who missed it, here’s a link to Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh’s brief interview on NPR’s Morning Edition Sunday. Doc’s suggestion of the Ford cocktail for New Year’s Eve sounds like a good one, so I know what I’ll be mixing up!

Technical note

December 27, 2008

Just wanted to say, I’m currently in the process of redesigning this site.
Part of that process will include going back through the archives, cleaning up (and standardizing) the format of drink recipes, and adding any garnishes into the ingredients lists. I know it’s a particular pet peeve of some of my fellow cocktail bloggers to [...]

MxMo: Made from Scratch

November 11, 2008

I got nothing.
We’ve been so busy this month that I just didn’t get my shit together in time to even make anything from scratch, let alone write it up.
That doesn’t mean I won’t have something else to post this week, though. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, point your eyes at Doug’s Pegu Blog for his wrap-up post, later [...]
