Booze blogging
Moxie does a Friday Booze-photoblog entry and suggests a new carnival:
Someday, when I am all grown-up I’d like to start a weekly Carnival of Adult Beverages.
Count me in. Just look over to the side of my main page. I’ve got some recipes ready to go listed under Swanky Drinks. For now, here’s one of the Crown & Coke’s I enjoyed recently on my birthday. I used my new Canon A85 (Thank you again, my gorgeous wife, for getting my that camera). My good friend Scott remarked that, while he raves about the A85, the macro’s on these things aren’t all that great. the only thing he liked about our friend’s Sony digital camera was the macro. So I practically I had to step up to the plate with my A85, so I proceeded to set the lens on the rim of the glass and snapped this shot. He instantly changed his tune and raved even more.
So, Moxie, an Adult Beverage Carnival? St. Patrick’s Day is a month off. How about starting there? Ideas from readers? What does Adult Beverage include? Everything alcoholic? Beer? Wine? Liquor only?
Update: One caveat to booze blogging is trying to remember every detail as to what happened. I made some edits to the macro discussion above.

Came across your site via Moxie’s today and had to comment.
I’m in my late 40’s and have just now finally learned to appreciate a good martini via a friend’s father. I’ve always hated them, especially as a child when my mother drank them. But for some reason, when this person made me one a couple of months ago, I thoroughly enjoyed it and haven’t been drinking my usual since then (bourbon on the rock or with a splash of soda). His recipe was very different, but “normal.” Can you share your recipe. This comment is really based on your web header, “There’s nothing a martini can’t fix.”

Great idea about starting this up on St Patrick’s Day!
Adult Beverages are anything containing alcohol, at least in my book ;)
