I’ve always had a fantasy that I would come home from work, kick off my shoes, make myself a drink and watch the evening news. I don’t do, well, any of those things except for coming home from work, but I figured I should do something involving those last two things.

There are a lot of cocktail blogs out there, and I don’t pretend to be the best one. But I can pretend to be the most temporally confusing — right now, I’m going through a guide to bartending created in 1862, but I’m trying to keep it fresh and relevant with terrible puns and connections to current news stories. We’ll see how that goes.

I want to make sure you feel connected to what’s going on around you, whether you’re sitting down for a craft cocktail, just getting smashed, or reading a recipe from two centuries ago. And what better lubricant is there than alcohol to get those connections flowing?

Anyway, read and enjoy, and you can contact me anytime at bn@boozynewsie.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
