Onward and Upward with Mixology Monday

Thanks to the great response to my request for hosts, we now have the next four Mixology Mondays on track.

• Jimmy Patrick takes the reins again for MxMo XII, which takes place Monday, February 12 at Jimmy’s Cocktail Lounge. For this round, Jimmy has chosen the topic Whisk(e)y — note the optional ‘e’. Got a great cocktail made with rye or Irish whiskey? Like a particular bourbon or single malt all on its lonesome? Can’t stand the stuff thanks to an unfortunate episode during college that included a mechanical bull and way, way too many Jack & Cokes? Let’s hear about it — head over to Jimmy’s for more details on posting.

• Following Jimmy, another return host makes MxMo short, sharp & to the point on Monday, March 12. Rick Dobbs over at Martini Lounge (aka Saving the World, One Drink at a Time) gets down to business with Shots as the theme for MxMo XIII. From pousse cafes to Knuckle Blasters (okay, I just made that one up, but I’m sure someone’s done it at some point) to short, balanced tipples meant to sooth you through the final days of winter, this round of MxMo invites experimentation. Rick will post further details as the date draws near.

• MxMoXIV shifts gears on April 16 when Champagne Cocktails is the theme over at Married…With Dinner. As Anita — who’s hosting along with her husband, Cameron — writes, “There’s a certain irony in drinking bubbly on tax day.” Ironic, indeed…

• And, in May, MxMo XV moves over to My Bar, Your Bar. Our good host, Matt, is still working on a date and theme, but by getting in the mix early, he has plenty of time to think about it.
