Spirits of Travel

Many are the countries that offer their very own fascinating & tasty distillations -- Scottish single malts, Mexico's tequila, Kentucky bourbon, habushu in Japan -- you name it. An intoxicating way of exploring the world! And of course most countries also have their own beers - often very distinctive indeed. We raise a glass to all of it here!

In keeping with the Oktoberfest, we're celebrating all things beer on the Cocktail Hour during this season. Today at The World on Wheels, it's a visit to the Belgian Beer Festival at Lucky Baldwins in Sierra Madre, California...filming location for the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": http://tinyurl.com/yzxlolx

Last week I took the family out to Musso and Frank, one of Hollywood's last classic restaurants, and had an outstanding martini. Today on the Cocktail Hour at The World on Wheels, we try our hand at this classic libation. As a bonus, it's only around 160 calories, including the olive: http://tinyurl.com/2e3a9bf

I'm with you, David.

The Brant Point Grill at the White Elephant, Nantucket, serves a lobster bloody Mary that has quite a chunk of lobster in it. I haven't had it, but it looks quite good. I mean, lobster, tomato, vodka -- what could be bad?

Yes, personally I'm not a fan of huitlacoche, but I can see where some people might be. It's adding it to a cocktail that makes me really gulp!

This is really cool!  Huitlacoche is the Mexican answer to truffles.  I am not sure about that as a drink, but foods made with it are delicious.  I had a bloody mary made with tomato pulp and seeds, so it was very light.

I just got an email from a PR rep for a resort in Mexico proudly announcing their new margarita menu. And one of the flavors is huitlacoche, which is a kind of black fungus used in Mexico that doesn't have a strong flavor, but is a very acquired taste - and not to my own taste, certainly. Not long ago I heard of a bacon martini being served at some bar on Houston Street in NYC.  What are the strangest cocktail flavors you've come across?

Today on The Cocktail Hour at The World on Wheels...a fizzy, summery drink, the seafizz cocktail: http://tinyurl.com/3bwyjj9
