This is, by far, the best line-up we’ve ever been part of and the raddest show theme we’ve ever heard of. We’ll be making a Breaking Bad cocktail (with chili powder, perhaps?) and telling our best “intervention” stories. You want to be there. Trust. (above art by Bill Penland)

Our heartfelt essay on why rum is the new sipping liquor.
It is our theory, as well as those in the know, that rum is set to be the new whiskey. Worth sipping solo, it’s time that rum emerged from its hiding spot in overly sweet poolside daiquiris and outdated Mai Tai’s and was enjoyed for its complexities and distiller-to-distiller uniqueness. (Note: we are authoritatively pounding a lecturn as we type this.)
In a word, rum is neat. And we wanted to drink it that way. So we headed to the simply-named, newly-opened Neat in Glendale.Read more here.

Alie and Georgia on Classy Ladies: Vintage Dresses, Boy Humor and Cocktails
“Swizzle your beef sticks a little slower,” the director says to Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark as they stir their jerky-infused tequila Bloody Marys — a drink they’ve dubbed the Beefy Tomato. It’s an odd direction, but every move the women make while demonstrating the drink recipe is supposed to be at half-speed. The crew is getting the final shots needed for this episode of Classy Ladies, Ward and Hardstark’s latest web series for Cooking Channel. The cocktail was inspired by a trip to People’s Sausage Co. earlier this week. There, they got a lesson in jerky making, then figured out a way to put that flavor into drink form.
