This should not be news to anyone, but earlier this year Haiti experienced one of the worst natural disasters in the modern Western Hemisphere — a massive earthquake that killed over 100,00 people, devastated the entire country and completely destroyed its capital, Port-Au-Prince.

The subject of Haiti hits VERY close to home at Mutineer Magazine. One of our very own editors, Brian Kropf, is currently stationed with the U.S. Army in Haiti.

As for us Mutineers, Energyologist Jeff’s idea of a holiday cocktail is eating candy canes and washing it down with Red Bull and tequila, Beer Editor Brian has a constant supply of holiday seasonal beers finding their way onto the counter, our marketing guru JJ is drinking Amarula Cream cause he can’t seem to get enough of the stuff, and I’m drinking whatever people put in front of me! Happy holidays fellow Mutineers!

Here is a holiday punch featuring Bols Genever by Ehrmann that is sure to make you the cocktail ninja of your holiday party. Recipe after the jump. Continue Reading »

7 Time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has teamed up with mixologist Salvatore “The Maestro” Calabrese to show just how difficult it is to mix cocktails in the car. This anti-drinking and driving campaign is pretty awesome, even if it hates America and Canada.
