Mr. Booze January/February Album Reviews

Kenton in HI-FI, Stan Kenton – Have listened to this one a couple times recently, and my feelings and concept of it changes depending on the mood, or drink, I’m enjoying. Mr. Kenton was a pianist, composer, arranger, band leader, and finally, big band leader, and all of these qualities shine through on this ode [...]

Mr. Booze on Bulldog Gin

I was recently provided with a bottle of this English gin for review and wanted to share my reaction with you guys. I cracked it a few months ago, and since I tend to really rotate the spirits and brands I quaff, I just now laid the empty bottle to rest out in the glass [...]

Jack Rose Cocktail

Mr. Booze here with another great cocktail to enjoy while barbequing. The Jack Rose is the top-secret gun in the arsenal of summer drinks. Just 3 ingredients make this an easy one to throw together quickly. It’s a drink that, unlike the Cosmopolitan, is refreshing to look at AND can be drunk by men. Not [...]
