Cocktails Anyone?
So in addition to my weekly Meet and Eat post on Serious Eats, I'm now doing a weekly cocktail column. First up, Mayahuel — anyone up for some tequila and/or mezcal? Here's a picture I took that night that didn't make it into the column. Cochinita anyone?

Raising the Bar
Inspired by my recent cocktail class, I set out this weekend on a shopping excursion to pick up some components to improve my home bar. Nothing major, just a few essentials — bitters, a bar spoon, some more glasses, and a key bottle or two. Everything got a good workout in honor of the Mad
