Thank you Mr. Harion. Tony (aka Mauricio) has just put together the best drinking game in the history of drinking games. Take one part childhood memories and mix it with one part adult debauchery … what do we get? That’s right … Battleship the bar game. Coolness!!!!!
More pics are available on the website.

Greg Best just made Playboy. Don’t worry folks, Greg doesn’t appear in his skimpies. No, in this case, Mr. Best was just named one of Playboy’s 10-best mixologists. A co-owner of my favorite watering hole, Best is a certifiable drink geek! He’s friendly as hell and awesome at what he does … two things that make him a winner in my book.
Backed by his kick ass McIntosh amps (yeah – I’ve said that before), Best makes a seriously killer cocktail … or two … or three … or … you get the idea. I can’t tell you how many times he’s whipped something up full of ingredients I’ve never heard of. If you haven’t been already, go grab yourself some pretty solid food while you punch yourself in the rye. There’s a decent chance we’ll cross paths … I visit often.
UPDATE: I always wanted to know what it was like to be a Playboy photographer. Okay, no … not really. But apparently, I now know one … though I didn’t realize it at the time of this post … that picture of Greg came courtesy of one Broderick Smylie. The guy, who has a serious case of the smiles, snaps many a good photos. Check him out via the linky belowy

Here’s a list of seven alcoholic beverages that are both tasty (supposedly) and sustainable. Thanks Fast Company!
Square One Vodka
Green because: It’s made from organically grown North Dakota rye and produced in a distillery that gets 25% of its energy from a wind farm. $33+; SquareOneVodka.com
Vodka 360
Green because: Bottles are made from 85% recycled glass, and labels are made from 100% recycled paper. For every bottle sold, its producer, Earth Friendly Distilling Co. (a division of McCormick Distilling Co.), donates $1 to an environmental organization. $29+, vodka360.com
Prairie Vodka
Green because: It’s packaged in an unfrosted, recyclable glass bottle, and produced from organic corn grown by a Minnesota farmers’ co-op. Leftover cobs are converted on-site to biogas energy that powers distillation. $25+; prairievodka.com
Rhum Clément White Rum
Green because: After it’s made from sugarcane, the spent canes are used to fuel the production process. $30+; rhumclement.net
Veev Vodka
Green because: For every bottle sold, Veev’s certified carbon-neutral producers donate $1 to rainforest preservation and sustainable açaí farming (through Sambazon’s Sustainable Acai Project). $35; veevlife.com
Bruichladdich Whiskey
Green because: Bruichladdich CEO, Mark Reynier, revealed plans to revamp its Port Charlotte Distillery to create a "genuinely zero carbon footprint." Prices vary; bruichladdich.com
New Belgium Beer
Its brewed using wind power, and its maker, New Belgium Brewing Co., is a member of 1% For the Planet, which means that 1% of its revenue helps fund environmental non-profits. $8 (per six-pack), newbelgium.com
As I sit here at Taco Mac in Midtown, I can’t think of a better way to get a little tipsy than to enjoy a sweet tea vodka. Well, that was until I stumbled upon this jewel. Apparently, a bar in the UK is releasing alcoholic mist into the air. Apparently, if you stand around for about 40-minutes, you’ll have had one fairly strong drink! Awesomeness!
Alright, gonna go get my drink on – eat some food and hit ya’ll up later with my review of Paces 88.
