Rants,
raves, and news from the cocktail snob
| June 2009: The Cocktail Snob and Gal Friday Night are off to Amsterdam, Haarlem, Brussels, and Bruges. We plan to meet Forest Collins of the Parisian cocktail blog 52 Martinis, as well as hitting Amsterdam's Door 74, and a dozen other Benelux bars. Look for a full report report in July! Following that trip, the Snob is off to NYC for the St. Germain competition, and then to New Orleans in July for Tales of the Cocktail, and then to Tiki Oasis in San Diego come August. March 2009: It is official - James' new book, Big Stone Head: Easter Island and Pop Culture will be released in an experimental ebook format in August. The book will be available for download, or on a bamboo USB thumb drive packaged in an attractive gift card. Cover art is by Heather Watts, book design by Gary Blaney, and the limited edition Tiki Farm mug has been designed by Doug Horne. The big release will be at Tiki Oasis in August! Following the media blitz for Big Stone Head, James will begin work on his Tiki Road Trip-style book on the international cocktail revival. |

December 2008:The Cocktail Snob is back from Cuba!
A report of drinking in Havana is now posted to this site, although there are no particularly noteworthy cocktail bars over there.
September, 2008:
James has won first place for August, 2008 in the monthly St. Germain-sponsored cocktail contest.
What this means is that he won $500 for creating a drink that he has dubbed the Velo (St. Germain, gin, and other good stuff for kids), and he will travel to New York in June, 2009 to compete against eleven other cocktail professionals (including at least two of his buddies from Violet Hour) in the second annual championship. The prize is a cool five grand, but James is thrilled that he already has $500, a free trip to NYC, and bragging rights!
