Candy is Dandy, but liquor is quicker. -Ogden Nash I remember when I saw this quote as a kid (far too young to know what sex was – but I knew what candy was), and it stuck with me. The line is from the 1931 poem by Ogden Nash, ‘Reflections on the Ice Breaking’ – and …
Several friends have told me they love the drinks I make on my Instagram page (@architecture_of_the_cocktail) but would like to hear my take on how to set up a home bar. As we head into the holidays, many of us entertaining for the first time in a year and a half, so I have broken down my thoughts …
I originally set out to mix my way through the top pre-prohibition cocktails for fun. Then moved onto prohibition and Tiki cocktails, then added the IBA (International Bartenders Association) official drinks. I am now exploring some very odd and unusual drinks that require equally odd and unusual spirits and mixers. So, I thought it would be a good time …
Lionel Messi’s departure from Barcelona, which somehow seemed shocking and inevitable at the same time, redrew the world soccer map. The club, at the sport’s pinnacle just six years ago, is in disarray, with serious financial problems and an underwhelming roster.

Falernum. You may know what it is, and you may not. You may even have a bottle in your home bar. And even if you have never heard of it, if you have had a properly made Tiki drink – you have likely had it without knowing. Falernum is in some ways the Caribbean seasoning of simple syrup. People …

It is in a satirical diary entry of a farmer waking up and trying to clear his …
When I was little and we would go out to eat (which wasn’t often) and my parents were in a celebrating mood, they would order a cocktail. And sometimes when they were getting a drink, I was lucky enough to get a Shirly Temple ‘cocktail’ to sip along with them. I loved that combination of sweet cherry and 7UP. And best of all was finishing and still having …
Likely like most of you, I grew up thinking rum was always clear, and came in a clear glass bottle with a bat on the label. You made three things with it. You could get really fancy and make a daiquiri, you could add it to Coke, or you could add it to juice. There were exceptions; Long …
“What one rum can’t do, three rums can” – Don Beach Johnny Quong’s The Hawaiian When I was a kid, I was a pretty picky eater. We lived in Salt Lake City for four years in the early 1970s, and on the rare occasion that we went out to eat, the one place that I was always …
People ask me all the time. What do you do with bitters? Or – what are bitters for? The short answer is they are to cocktails what spices are to food. Chef and author Samin Nosrat says of salt, “Salt’s relationship to flavor is multidimensional: It has its own particular taste, and it both balances and enhances the …
I started tinkering around with cocktails the summer of 2019, on a search for the best cocktail of the summer. Mostly to give myself something to do. Summer turned into fall, and fall into winter, then in 2020 I decided that I had made enough cocktails that I need to keep them someplace or I would forget …
Pearl Diver – recipe below. During the early 1970s I lived in Salt Lake City for several years in my late grade school/junior high years. As a gentile living in the land of LDS, we would occasionally visit an iconic restaurant in SLC called Johnny Quong’s The Hawaiian. The crazy Polynesian themed Tiki restaurant had lightning storms every 20 minutes where lights would flash, thunder would …
