    Never made this at home before, but I had some ginger beer, and figured I'd give it a try.

    I like a Prosecco with Campari on a Sunday morning once in a while. Or, I guess, any decent dry sparkling wine. I'm sure it has a name but I refer to it as a hangover helper.

    Mint Julep at the Willard Hotel in DC is a simple classic.

    I would have never paired Tia Maria (coffee liqueur) with bourbon, but it was good.

    You just made serious cool points with me, MC.

    I will however, go for the occasional Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

    "The most respected minds on mixology" and the registered trademark symbol after "Tales of the Cocktail." Double whammy. I am ready to go on an absinthe bender.
