Liquor Snob Roundup: April 2008

We had a lot happen in April, including a whirlwind trip to Brazil...where we didn't even drink any Cachaca. Long story. But nevertheless, we've scoured the Web to find the coolest drinking news and products going, and wrapped them up for you in a neat little package. You're welcome.

One thing we didn't get to do in April was a chance to review the cocktail candles that were sent to us by Gwen at Intoxicated Zodiac, or the Hot D Wake Up Juice that's sitting on our shelf. Our bad. We'll take care of them post haste. But enough dwelling on what we didn't cover - see everything we covered in April after the jump.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: March 2008

We were going to post today with a sick and evil April Fool's Day prank, but we decided we'd go easy on you this year, unlike a couple years ago. You can thank us later - right now, it's time to busy yourself checking out what you might have missed last month.

From our coverage of two very different but equally intriguing hangover remedies, right on through the drinking advice from an alcoholic cartoon dog, we had a whole lot of fun in March. Check out the shenanigans and our own version of March Madness after the jump.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: November 2007

Here's the thing...November should've been all about Thanksgiving. We should've been thinking only about chugging Wild Turkey and figuring out where to sleep off a tryptophan coma. But, just like every year, Christmas has started nudging its way into the land of the Pilgrims. Half the time we feel like Nightmare Before Christmas but Jack chose a different door.

However, in the spirit of the season, we chugged Wild Turkey and created our 2007 Gift Guide. So, everybody wins! Read on for the rest of the happenings from the land of Liquor Snob Turkey Day.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: October 2007

October was another big month for us, from the beginning when our Editor in Chief celebrated a big old birthday, to the end when we tricked and treated the hell out of ourselves. We were quoted in the Washington Times, we tried out a great new bottle opener, discovered Baijiu, and we fell head over heels in love with a ginger liqueur that made our toes curl.

It really doesn't get much better than that, does it? Read on for the full list of everything that happened to us in the course of this month.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: September 2007

Another summer has come and gone, but instead of getting depressed we soldiered on and found all sorts of cool, booze-related stuff in September. We covered a 90 mile distillery tour in the South, lamented the passing of Michael Jackson, discovered the Portopong, and marveled while some mad geniuses made Jell-O shots out of everything but the kitchen sink. It was a good month, really...read on to find a roundup of everything we covered, and we'll be over here trying to outdo ourselves in October.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: June 2007

We really kicked off June with a bang - what with the kegerator giveaway and all, and we really like to think we kept up our intensity. That's what we tell ourselves anyway. We uncovered some great booze to review, found a kickass Mojito recipe, and found out about new and legal absinthes on their way to the U.S. How's that grab you?

Read on to peruse this month's goods, but before you do go on and whip up a an iPhone martini to take the edge off.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: May 2007

As we turn around and bid farewell to May, we're full of a lot of things - remorse, regret, cinco de mayo margaritas. But we have a whole lot to look forward to as well - cookouts, beer, drinks by the pool, and cocktails.

Take a look at all the cool junk we found during May, including multiple liquor reviews, the Beer Advocate Top 100 beers, a sangrita recipe that's good all year round, and the first post-ban absinthe that's available legally here in the states. How can you go wrong?

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: April 2007

There's nothing that gets you in the mood to drink like a resurrection, so April has always held a fond spot in our hearts. Another reason for our fondness of this April was the fact that it gave us the chance to hope it was going to stop raining everyfreakinday in May. We can dream, can't we? Oh, and we also discovered a great new vodka (Cirrus), a fantastic TV show (Three Sheets), and learned about how Strawberry Daiquiris might help stave off the Big C. What a month!

Read on for the stories.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: March 2007

Another March come and gone, and with it the grueling day of amateur drinking and green beer, St. Patrick's Day. We've made it through yet another St. Patty's, and with only a few scars and bruises to show for it, so we've rounded up all the stories from March. There are even a few that involve green - we reviewed multiple kinds of absinthe, threw together some cocktail recipes to make you say "Erin Go Brae." Plus, we reviewed multiple products including the Bongxedo, some Gins and some Cachacas.

So sally forth, dear reader, to plumb the depths of what March had to offer us, and raise a toast to our fallen compatriots who were hauled away to the drunk tank or worse.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: February 2007

Ah, February - the month of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and that other annoyance...Valentine's Day. Wait, did we say that out loud? Hope there's some room on the couch for us. Anyway, we kept ourselves warm this month by paying attention to our favorite subject - liquor.

Check out the stories from this month, which range from beer bongs to fine rums, after the jump.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: January 2007

We started off the new year with a bang this year - or more of a throb...in our skulls. Once the post-New Year's hangover subsided, though, we started right in on rounding up all sorts of booze info for you, from Cachaca reviews to a new t-shirt site to a few interesting cocktails (one has real gold in it!). We hope your first month of '07 has treated you well, and stick with us for even more excitement throughout the year.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: October 2006

October was a crazy month, with all sorts of Liquor Snob firsts. Our Editor in Chief was featured on our very first Podcast, we did our first Shaving Stuff crossover story, and we did our first Jager Bomb shot of the month on Halloween night. We also got in our bottle of P.I.N.K. vodka, which we tasted on the aforementioned Podcast, and which will be receiving a full review as soon as we have time. Also, we had a great Halloween and we hope you did too...don't be too scared to find the full roundup of important stories from last month after the jump.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: September 2006

September is a time for the last grilling of the season, along with whatever else you might need to do before it's time to bundle up for winter. Just like always, we've been spending our time looking for liquor, and we've found everything from boozy robot bottle caddies to liquor console tables. We also reviewed Leblon Cachaca and a variety of mixers like Sweet's Cocktail Kick sour mix and Cocktail Mist drink flavoring. Read on to see all the best stories of the month.

Liquor Snob Monthly Roundup: August 2006

And so it begins - summer is almost officially over and the kids are on their way back to school. We had a good run in the summer months - barbecues, icy cocktails, maybe a few beers. But now we can look forward to Fall and then Winter - beer pong by a roaring fire, spiking our cocoa with liquor, and generally creating mayhem.

This month we reviewed high end Tequila Dos Lunas; we let you know about Roll'em Show'em, a drinking game that gets you naked; and we saw Beerfest, the funniest movie of the summer. Get there. But before you go, read on for all the stories we cranked out during the dog days of summer.
