Q: What alcoholic beverage is the worst in terms of being able to kill ya. I want names like Pearl harbor or mexican leprechaun not just beer or martini. thanks.
A: moonshine is the highest alcohol content per volume drink. moonshine can be brewed up to 200 proof, or 100% alcohol per volume.
A friend of mine is hosting an "ethnic party" next week and wants the drinks to include such things as "White Russians", "Irish Carbombs", and "Mexican Martinis". What are some other drinks that have ethnic names
It's Cinco de Mayo, the day Mexicans and Americans celebrate the victory of the Mexican Army over the French in the Battle of Puebla (May 5, 1862) with tequila shots and loutish behavior. Tequila shots are great, and loutish behavior is okay in certain circumstances, but I think we can do better. Fortunately, so does Gerber Group bartender and manager Michelle Romano (above), who was kind enough to invent two amazing cocktails for us that are worthy of the holiday.
I dropped by Whiskey Blue Thursday afternoon for a tasting, and I'm glad I did, because it expanded my cocktail repertoire quite a bit. The idea was to just have one drinko for Cinco, but when Michelle told me it involved a jalapeno-infused tequila, I got scared. I like spicy food just fine, but spicy drinks - jalapeno tequila, black pepper vodka, etc. - don't do it for me. I like the heat in my mouth, but not down my throat. So she took pity on the widdle baby and came up with a milder option as well. It's called the Watermelon Cilantro Margarita, and it's a good place to begin.
I will be bartending a casino theme party and a mexican theme, so i will serve margaritas. Any ideas on what cocktails to serve to go with the whole casino theme? I was thinking Washington Apple martini Crown Royal apple pucker and cranberry. Please help
I'm going to Trudy's and ordering a Mexican martini...and getting lucky :)

Wings + martinis = wingtinis Neighbors Chris and Rick Lapienski took top honors for their Really Good Mexican Pizza at the pizza event. And they were repeat winners at the grilled cheese cook-off for their Granny Smith, farmer's cheese and onion jam flatbread concoction. |

Use spirits to up the flavor in foods With its bite of juniper and distinctly botanical profile, it rarely makes it into a martini these days, much less make an appearance in the kitchen. But Kevin Schulz, head bar chef at Bridge Bar is a fan, making a gin-cured Arctic char. |

From cactus to cockroach, Houston's neon signs of a time gone by
By Marene Gustin I'm still on the hunt for the iconic Felix Mexican Restaurant sign. A commenter on the original post says the sign is fine and is in storage, but Uchi's PR rep in Austin still wasn't sure just where it was when I contacted her last

Live music and a low-key Friday night A few minutes later, three of my friends arrived -- two of whom played copycat and ordered Hummingbirds, the other a vodka martini. We got an order of the "Northern Fried" chicken wings, served with Mexican honey dipping sauce. |
