BongXedo takes the old plastic funnel and tube you picked up at the local science supply shop and updates it for the 21st Century. Wearable, the BarXedo is almost like a beer bong vest.

All for about $40 bucks.

Seen at a recent family wedding. Whereabouts unknown. Uncle Don (not sure who’s side of the family) whipped this together to keep the crowd well quenched. That’s my kind of wedding!

The whole lot may be gross, … Read more

The theme: How many ways can we get a wedge of lemon in to a glass of Widmer? What happens are a serious of creative and hilarious videos, ever thing from roller coaster to golf clubs, that deliver the fruit to the glass. You are all are encouraged to submit … Read more
This post from Gothamist hits close to home. I started this site many years ago to get away from the dreaded Gin & Tonic. Not that there is any wrong with the simplicity of the gin, vodka, whiskey, tonic, soda combinations, they are efficient but let’s face it, boring.
Yes, this is the year of the cocktail and there are quite a few gourmet bartenders popping up in upscale bars, but still the ease of … Read more

After years of wanting an energy drink to go with my vodka that wasn’t something sickly sweet here at last I have found a player. Move over grandpa’s ginger ale or tonic and enter the new world of the energy mixer.
I enjoy one part Smirnoff Blueberry and two parts JetSet tonic.
Peace!
