    Golden Era spirits/liqueurs

    This page might help: http://www.cocktaildb.com/ingr_search There quite a number of ingredients that one can browse, the defunct ingredients are both fascinating and aggravating. As there are some I'd love to get my hands on today. Snag some of the reprinted vintage cocktail books...

    A REAL Fedora Lounge?

    There are actually two locations here in Houston, one inner-loop, and one on the west side of town. I've been to the inner-loop location as it's very near where I live, and a pretty nice place to have drink.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    It's not the first silly article on absinthe, and certainly won't be the last. It's an enjoyable drink if one likes aniseed based liquor with a long and complicated history, and with much of the bad press undeserved.
