How does a snowman get to work? By icicle.
You would think that’s really funny if you’d had a couple of Snowshoe cocktails. That’s half bourbon and half peppermint schnapps. That’s it.
That would be the Smoking Bishop. Essentially it’s an orange and clove-spiked mulled port. What’s important about the bowl of Bishop is that the punch bowl is like the communal well. Nice for the holidays. Also important from English history is that you would get drunk and laugh at the church at the same time. For more on the history and the recipe for you Scrooge fans, read more from Tori Avey here.

We love folks who are passionate about their work, particularly when it involves distilling spirits like rum. We recently enjoyed a Three Dogs and a Cat cocktail at Monkeypod that used Kuleana Nanea Rum as one of its ingredients. Kuleana makes rhum agricola.
Rhum agricole is the French term for sugarcane juicerum, a style of rum originally distilled in the French Caribbean islands from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice rather than molasses.
With the closure of Hawaii‘s crystalline sugar producing mills, some artisanal distilleries have opened which continue production of cane for rhum agricole. Thanks Wikipedia.
Kuleana Rum Works was born on the island of Hawai’i in 2013 to make and share exquisite rum while creating a thriving local business that celebrates the richness of Hawai’i. They aim to elevate rum by celebrating it as a world-class spirit. They do this by making rum from the best ingredients on Earth and without added sweeteners, flavors, or coloring. Read the whole story here and then give non-molasses rhum agricole a try.
Mike Leach, Rest In Peace. Quite the character and a pretty darn good football coach.

We would expect any Wall Street Journal article to discuss the money involved with alcohol and cannabis. But this one discusses only their effects on health! And no big surprise, coming from a very conservative publication…. It’s all bad. Not that this news will put a dent in the popularity of either.

And no one’s gonna save you.
