Am I the only one who isn’t ready for it to be August 1st? Seriously. Where the hell did July go? (sigh)
Well, since it is August, and there’s nothing that I can do about it, I figure I may as well enjoy it and roll out the features and fun new things that I promised I would.
July was a good month on Drinks After Dark. A new feature, “So you wanna learn how to drink….”, was introduced, and I promised something new along those lines for August as well.
Starting next Wednesday, Drinks after Dark will feature “So you wanna learn how to make….” and will feature all the weird concoctions, classic cocktails and neat drinks you’ve always wondered about but just didn’t know how to make. Have something you’re curious about but haven’t managed to figure out? Let me know in the comments and I’ll be happy to help!
I’m also going to be starting Happy Hour on Blog Talk Radio as well, 7 pm PST beginning next Friday, August 8th. I’ll post the phone number and the first week’s topic here as well as all over Twitter, so mark it on your calendar and be sure to call in and chat!
Each Tuesday throughout August (and likely beyond) will be a review of something I’ve had the pleasure of trying recently. Every second Monday continues “So you wanna learn how to drink…” (Absinthe and Sake are my next two on tap – anything else you’re interested in learning about?)
Finally, I was considering an “Ask the Cocktail Girls” feature, (kinda like Ask DrinkPlanner) but before I start that, do you guys have questions? Is this something you’d be interested in reading or participating in? If so, I’ll start a separate page for this exact thing and you guys can ask me whatever you want. “what makes a dirty martini dirty?” “What’s the best wine to order on a date?” … whatever. I’ll compile 2 or 3 at a time and answer once a week (if I have enough or I’ll wait till I have two or three collected). An advice column for the cocktail set if you will.
