Yes, after a self induced blogging hiatus attributed to overbooked “DR Mixoologist” gigs, I’m permanently back in action. I said yes to a seemingly overwhelming events schedule, yet my self induced adrenaline rush sparked and peaked my energy ushering me, of course, to give each one of my clients the loving cocktail service that “DR Mixologist” unyieldingly provides…yeah baby!!!

Interestingly, 90% of my cocktail requests came from my presidential cocktail creations, some of which are posted on my webpage. Most popular was my “Obama-Nation” cocktail…In a highbball glass, Ciroc Vodka, Acai Liquor, Acai Puree, Red Bull, Pineapple Juice, shake all ingredients and garnish with a pineapple slice.

Next on my agenda is this upcoming weekend getaway to The Nations Capitol, DC, for “The Metroploitan Food & Entertaining Show“…stay tuned…

Last Thursday I headed over to Penthouse 15 for the Sobieski Vodka “Truth in Vodka” launch party - Poland’s #1 premium vodka - and what a fun party it was!!!

Guest DJ’s Roxy Cottontail and Stretch Armstrong rocked the smooth groves, and Polish supermodel Joanna Krupa and friends hosted this Penthouse 15 rooftop extravaganza. And of course, light traditional Polish fare added some festive flair.

Hopefully you ran 10+ miles after you pounded down a few of those bacon “fat washed” cocktails at the recent “Tales of the Cocktail”!

Well, I’ve been going “infusion” crazy since the Tale’s seminars, and I almost a dozen different types of spirits slowly infusing with fruits and vegetables. These will sit for the next 3-4 weeks - or until they reach MY desired potency level.

I’m most excited to taste how my infused mojito works out, and see if I can bring the concept of arduous muddling to a grinding halt… yeah baby!!! Also, this might make it more practical to be served at larger functions, and still deliver the same (if not better) quality.

I’ll get back to you on this one soon. Keeping my fingers crossed…

The “Tales of the Cocktail” event happened this month and I was what? There!!!

Nonstop till-you-drop seminars revolving around the most eclectically evolving cocktail industry, with no restraints.

I’m still trying to digest the concept of “Fat Washing” to construct a cocktail. Yeah you heard me right! Try infusing bacon fat (or any tasty animal fat) into your bourbon based drink with muddled lime, simple syrup, and a dash of orange bitters, served on the rocks, Yummy!!! There’s honestly nothing like a chilled bacon grease cocktail, If I must say so myself. Please, just slap me into the next state if I ever get so bored!!!
