  • The Missing Caipirinha

    Leblon-caipirinhaM_lg I've been writing for Fine Cooking magazine's website for several months now, and realized they don't have a recipe for the Caipirinha online. Shameful. So in my latest post I wrote about the drink, the base spirit cachaca, and some variations. Check it out.

  • Big in Germany

    Mixology cover blood and sand I try to link to all my writing available online, but you really only see two-thirds or so of it. And even if you could see it all, most of us couldn't read it because it's in German.

    I am a regular contributor to Mixology magazine, based in Berlin, and for this magazine I write these insanely long stories usually about a single cocktail.

    I've written 2000 words about eggnog, 2500 on the Blood and Sand, and 4000 words on the Mai Tai.

    All of it gets translated into German so when I see the print version I can't read it but I like to look at the pictures. 

    One picture that I particularly enjoyed seeing was this cover illustration for my eggnog story.

    I don't know if I've ever had the cover image before, so that's pretty awesome. (Update: Realized I've had it twice before- sweet!)

    I shall now use this ego boost to get me through my next story, which is 2500 words on the Caipirinha, due tomorrow.
