POPSThe Sherry Martini According to the article, purists say gin and vermouth, but I prefer a vodka martini. Gin is vodka that has been flavored with spices and herbal extracts and while that is fine in a GT, I don't care for the herb/spice flavor when I drink a martini: Ketel One or Chopin vodka with dry vermouth, 2 olives and never serve me a martini candy drink :rolleyes: But I will try this recipe, just gotta go and get some bitters.

POPSBeer - Latest Hope in Cancer Fight So which brews are likely to be richest in xanthohumol? 'Hops give beer its bitter flavour, so traditional bitters and ales will contain far more of this substance than light lagers,' explains Ben McFarland, author of the World's Best Beers. Beers highest in hops, he says, are India pale ales such as those made by the Meantime Brewery in Greenwich, South-East London. First brewed in the 1800s, these ales were made with high levels of hops to act as a natural preservative for export.

POPSA cocktail bar with no drink menu: Drink (Boston, MA) More: As the cocktail authority Dale DeGroff has noted, the cocktail is “as American as jazz, apple pie, and baseball.” Classic cocktail bars are to the toper what the new crop of “classic” baseball stadiums are to the sports fan—places where we can cheer a return to our roots.… I admire what Drink is doing in eliminating the cocktail menu: asking you to put yourself in the hands of a knowledgeable guide who can edge you beyond your comfort zone into a new experience. Still, I hope it eventually prints one up. Sometimes the bartender will be too harried to take a full patient history, and perusing a list of drinks and their ingredients is a great education. I also hope Drink might embrace another new trend, that of listing obscure classic cocktails interpreted by and credited to talented bartenders working today in other cities. Such a list is like a blog with links to other worthwhile blogs, except that the links are potable.
