    Poblano Colada

    Another short one today! Just a recipe. Soon there will be a pretty significant update to the recipes page, along with the series about menu design. This is among the top drinks ever to come out of me, if I do say so myself. Inspired by the food that my wife and mother in law […]

  • Intro to Fernet

    Coming soon is a much longer post (or series of posts?) on menu design and philosophy, but in the meanwhile let’s have a good ol’ fashioned recipe. What is Fernet Branca? Short answer is that it’s an herbal liqueur. The longer answer is that it’s a digestivo made in Milan by the Branca family. It […]

  • Drinking in the Public Domain, Vol. 2, Redux

    Let’s face it: Drinking in the Public Domain, Volume 2 is overdue. Blame the baby, if you want, or blame the fact that I just wasn’t feelin’ the theme. In light of this, ‘toons are OUT. Flowers are IN. The subject matter is more beautiful and easier to find. Work begins in earnest, and hope […]

  • Drinking in Public in 2023

    Howdy, dear and stalwart readers. Drinking in Public has been too long neglected, and I’m sorry for that. I can explain… Here’s Where We’re Heading That said, Drinking in Public isn’t a personal blog, it’s an art and beverage blog. So here’s what 2023 will look like on this site. First, Drinking in the Public […]

    Shrubs and How To Use Them

    Friends, it’s been a minute. Or a month, more accurately. My apologies. Today we’re talkin’ shrubs. What they are, how to make ’em, how to use ’em. And I found some nice old pictures of fruit to go along with them. A recipe for a raspberry shrub is at the very end of this long […]

    Previewing Drinking in the Public Domain Vol. 2

    Drinking in the Public Domain’s second volume is coming, and this time, friends, we’re talkin’ toons. I don’t want to give away too much just yet, but suffice to say that cartoons and cocktails are both greater than the sum of their parts. Both take something static and give it motion.

    Let’s Talk About the Public Domain

    Lest we forget, this site is about drinking and art, and so far it’s been a bit heavy on the drinking; that’s something I have in common with this website. Materials that exist within the public domain are, somewhat intuitively, publicly owned. They are free for use, and reuse. Stanford has an excellent primer on […]

    What is Drinking in Public?

    Good question, man. It’s a few things. First and foremost, it’s an archive for drink recipes, mostly cocktails, inspired by righteous indignation about secret recipes. Too many in the beverage industry get off on making it all seem so dang inaccessible and esoteric. To hell with that! Good drinks ought to be closer to right […]
