Earlier this week I opened up this year's Readers' Choice Awards. It is your annual opportunity to tell the world about your favorite distilled spirits and this first stage is the most important because the brands with the most nominations will go on to the final round of voting. There are 11 categories and you can nominate once a day in each. More info is in the links below and I look forward to hearing from you.

Also in this edition is whiskey, whisky, and more whiskey. I've filled it with whiskey drinks of all sorts because we are coming to the end of the Whiskey Cocktail Contest (Sunday's the day so you better hurry!). Cheers!


Cocktail of the Week: Scotch Lassie
Scotch Lassie

A simple but fabulous mix of flavors, this cocktail from Blair Frodelius remains a personal favorite. Famous Grouse Scotch is the star of the drink and is backed up by ginger and apricot liqueurs, a touch of lemon, and a bit of sparkling wine to finish it off. Get the recipe...

There are some fantastic submissions in already and I can tell that this will be a difficult decision, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you to make it even more difficult. I welcome the challenge and love to see all of the options. Submit your recipe here...
