The blogosphere is buzzing about a temporary bar in London that offers gin and tonic vapors. In the air. It’s a cocktail, that you BREATHE! YES! Continue Reading »

I got pretty freaked out when I saw this on the Dreg’s Report, because it confirmed my suspicions that there are indeed spy cameras in Mutineer HQ.

Mutineer Magazine is lucky to have a killer group of advertisers supporting what we do. These companies have a commitment to fine beverage culture, and make some incredible fine beverages. I was at Wine Library on Thursday, April 9 to film an episode with Gary Vaynerchuk, and here are some of the brands he carries that have been a part of Mutineer Magazine: Continue Reading »

So…I was hanging at the Boston Wine School on Tuesday night for the Boston Mutineer Launch Party (blog about that forthcoming…), and apparently not being in-the-know about the “Dregs Report” is the wine media equivalent of spending prom night at home, alone, with cats. This was first made clear to me by wine writer Dale Cruse, who dropped by the event to get his back issues of Mutineer Magazine signed by yours truly.

Spirit: Absinthe
Distillery: Philadelphia Distilling

Philadelphia Distilling has realeased Vieux Carre, their tribute to New Orleans and The French Quarter’s ties to absinthe. It is distilled through a process of double maceration, which enhances the quality and flavor of the product. The spirit includes an array of flavors that are the result of including Grande Wormwood, Petite Wormwood, Green and Star Anise, Fennel Doux Provence, Melissa, Genepi, Hyssop and Spearmint.

Philadelphia Distilling says that their product can be mixed with or without sugar. They recommend that the best mix to balance the product is three parts water, one part Vieux Carre, and skip the sugar.
