More Booze News

I wrote this up last weekend (that's my secret to continual posting when I should be off writing paying stories) so I apologize if my news is not-so-fresh.

-The Harbor Beach Marriott in Fort Lauderdale will send a "cocktail concierge" (aka "bartender") to your room to muddle your drinks by your bed.

-Hillary Clinton throws back a shot of whisky. The brand? Crown Royal.

-It's not on the market yet, but someone designed a wine bottle that includes fold-out cups on the label. That'll make your picnic basket lighter. [Complex]

-A discount for newly-poor Americans at Harry's Bar in Venice. [The Liquid Muse]

-Hansen's Natural Soda now has natural sugar (anyone else feel duped?)

-Robert Simonson has a round-up of three new cocktail bars that have opened in Brooklyn. Four years later, I may finally visit friends who've moved there.

- Too lazy to make a real mint julep? The people of Havana Mojito-flavored soda say Just Add Bourbon. I say Just No.

-Cocktail shaker, or deadly weapon? [Liquor Snob]
