		<title>05/28/2010: Happy Memorial Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did a lot on BBQ drinks last year, so this year I thought I would offer something more of an honorarium. I, unfortunatley, could not find much on the provenance of this one, but I have a few ideas. It&#8217;s called Army Navy and the first receipe I had is from 1948, so it could [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/12/2010: A Toast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As with most of what we&#8217;ve been discussing over the past week, it is hard to pinpoint the exact time and place where the return to classic cocktails occurred. There are many important bars, restaurants and bartenders who contributed; some aware and some unaware of what was going on. Many people like to think of [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/11/2010: The Long Road Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All though we like to joke about the damage prohibition did by preventing people from getting tipsy it actually did some real damage to the country and society.
Prohibition froze the budding American Whiskey and Wine industries in their tracks and a lot of the popular drinks of the early days of the Republic are lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/10/2010: A Noble Experiment or&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[a complete waste of time.
Part 2 of the ascent of the label cocktail involves one of the worst times in the history of the United Sates: Prohibition. The Volstead  act went into effect in January of 1920 and was not repealed until December of 1933 plunging the United States into 13 long dry years of [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/09/2010: Cool It Down and Stir It Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So how does Cocktail go from being one of many drinks to being &#8220;the&#8221; Drink. This is  two part story and here goes part one:
All though no one knows the exact where&#8217;s and when&#8217;s of the story there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Cocktail originated in the Northeast and spread from [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/08/2010: It&#8217;s Named After a Bird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is, I&#8217;m totally serious&#8230;
No I&#8217;m not. Nobody really knows where the name came from and there are a lot of stories floating around. Here&#8217;s one that at least involves fowl:
A tavern near Elmsford, New York was popular with the officers of the Revolutionary soldiers of Washington and Lafayette. The American troops preferred whiskey or gin, the French preferred wine [...]]]></description>

		<title>05/07/2010: So, What Exactly is Bitters?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me that question.
Bitters are an alcohol based herbal infusion. The general idea is to take a bitter flora, which have strange names like Gentian &#38; Quassia, a flavoring agent, traditionally citrus in the form of dried peels, and throw it all in a jar of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[World Cocktail Week Starts Today!
In honor of world cocktail week 2010; I&#8217;m going to try to distill (pun intended) the history of the drink into seven posts. Because this will be brief at best, and because I make no effort to hide my plagiarism, for anyone who wants more info I highly recommend &#8220;Imbibe&#8221; by [...]]]></description>

		<title>04/16/2010: So Many Margaritas, So Little Time!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever go to a place and notice that they have ten or more types of Margaritas on the cocktail list. They offer different types of tequila and other flavorings, but in the end they all pretty much taste like a Margarita?

		<title>02/18/10: Where Have We Been&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[and where are we going?
So, I am a little late to the game in summing up the Aughts, but I thought I&#8217;d throw my two cents in anyway. A lot of people are looking at the past decade as the resurgence of the cocktail. To be honest it probably had it&#8217;s impetus fifteen years ago [...]]]></description>
