The Devil and I go way back. Growing up, we ran into each other off and on at elementary school, mostly at the principal’s office. It wasn’t until my junior year in high school when I got a car and a girlfriend that we became BFFs, though. Since then, we’ve had many adventures together. The latest came when Chamuco’s Tequila CEO Mark Howard gave me a bottle of the company’s reposado to review. From the snazzy box to the handmade artisan bottle and all the way to the taste, my old buddy’s touch is definitely evident.

Ghost Chile Extract Bloody Mary
Two months ago, I promised you I’d have fun with the Henry Family Farm Varietal Chile Extracts David Rosengarten gave us to play with. Then the holidays hit and I found myself grilling reindeer over a coal-filled stocking, but that’s another story best not shared with small children.

Cinco de Mayo: What to Drink After Dinner
Contrary to popular belief, Mexican hooch isn’t all about fruity beer, worms, and margaritas. Not that there’d be anything wrong if it were. I’ve spent whole weekends living off of nothing but those three things, and aside from a recurring facial tic and a few flashbacks, I’m fine.
We’ll Drink to That
We celebrate the new year with two great New Year’s Eve spiced-up cocktails.
