The Great Lawn Sour, a.k.a. my umpteenth cocktail of the weekend and the first of the day on Sunday. The Manhattan Cocktail Classic was a huge success, but it's now time for a little detox. Personal highlights included the Pegu Club seminar, Dave Wondrich's seminar, and the magnificent gala. Pictures and more to follow shortly.

TweetUp Upgrade
So, these booze-focused TweetUps that I've been organizing are hitting the big time. What first started as six people for brown liquor at Char No. 4, then maybe 15 for clear liquor at Double Crown, followed by about 20 for rum at Elettaria and then about 25 for tequila at Cabrito is now giving it a whirl at the new bar space at Astor Center. Mark your calendars for 11/2. We're still working out the details, like ticket cost, but it's sponsored by Chartreuse and the lovely ladies of LUPEC NYC will be developing cocktails and working the bar. Jean Marc Roger, the president of Chartreuse Diffusion, will be in town and will lead us through a tasting, and there will be several Chartreuse cocktails available. I'm incredibly excited, and I hope you all can make it! Please RSVP here (although you'll need tickets in advance – details to follow) and spread the word!

All For You, Dear Readers
I’ve been keeping busy — blogging about the Manhattan Cocktail Classic and interviewing Dave Wondrich on Savory Cities, and doing extensive research at Eleven Madison Park and Fatty Crab Uptown for upcoming cocktail columns. Life is rough.

My New Morning Ritual
The daily shakerato. PIctures are weird because I took them before actually drinking any coffee.
