		<description><![CDATA[You say &#8220;winter warmer,&#8221; I think &#8220;hot toddy.&#8221; I should probably think &#8220;hot whiskey sling,&#8221; if I&#8217;m not mistaken, since I favor them with lemon juice, but &#8220;toddy&#8221; is the term I&#8217;m accustomed to using and bedad if winter warmers aren&#8217;t about personal comfort. I&#8217;ll call it a sling this once, though, since other people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been planning to concoct a photogenic and tasty Kwanzaa-colored pousse café for this holiday edition of MxMo, but I was introduced to a drink this weekend that&#8217;s much more deserving of attention. It&#8217;s neither a traditional favorite nor easily prepared en masse, but I&#8217;m definitely going to be serving it in the coming weeks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a gem of a drink that I&#8217;ve only just now discovered. It shouldn&#8217;t have taken so long &#8212; both Kaiser Penguin and The Spirit World have covered it &#8212; but I tumbled to the Lucien Gaudin via Haigh&#8217;s Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails. It had heretofore escaped my attention, as it shares a page [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the run-up to last week&#8217;s Mixology Monday I compiled a list of mint-containing drinks that I thought I&#8217;d like to sample. I made my way through three of them but had only so much time to allocate to drink, leaving other potential worthies untasted. In particular, I&#8217;d wanted to examine the Derby, for which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Astute readers of the last few days may have noticed the addition of a new category of content: The Ideal Bartender. I&#8217;ve imported Tom Bullock&#8217;s 1917 bar book &#8212; scanning and proofing courtesy of Project Gutenberg &#8212; both as a public service (it&#8217;s a bit easier to navigate this way) and with a mind to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Mixology Monday again, this time hosted by Rick at Kaiser Penguin. There&#8217;s much to explore in the world of mint-containing cocktails &#8212; I don&#8217;t regularly make anything with mint, though we&#8217;ve a nice bush of it growing in the Old Mews (now the kitchen garden) behind Slakethirst Manor. Time to put it to use. [...]]]></description>

Craddock, meanwhile, sojourned among the Britons and ministered to their spirituous needs at the Savoy&#8217;s American [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a mint-themed mix-off, I couldn&#8217;t avoid taking this plainly-named recipe for a test drive. The Mint Cocktail comes to us from Craddock&#8217;s 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book (though he would have it shaken), and is obviously not a cocktail. No matter, for while I abjure the proliferation of &#8216;tinis, I&#8217;m resigned that a cocktail is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This one from Lucius Beebe&#8217;s Stork Club Bar Book of 1946. He includes it in the &#8220;Morning at the Stork Club&#8221; chapter, but there&#8217;s no reason to restrict its service to the hours before noon. The Southside Fizz is really just a pleasant, minty lemonade &#8212; unless you&#8217;re employing a particularly potent gin, it goes [...]]]></description>
