I have been given the honor of hosting next month’s Mixology Monday here, and since it is in such close company with December 5th, which is Repeal Day, I’ve decided to try to combine the two and have a little fun with it.
So, for this round of MxMo, you’re going to need to write about a pre-Prohibition-era cocktail, tell a Repeal Day story, create an original drink inspired by Prohibition, etc.
So crack open your new copies of David Wondrich’s Imbibe!, plan a Repeal Day event, or reach deep into your inspiration well and come up with something to wow the world with. We’ll all meet back here on Monday for the round-up.
Update – the folks at Dewar’s scotch sent along this video to help get the juices flowing:
That is all. Carry on.
I knew I submitted this the wrong way. Well, mine is up at http://www.rumdood.com/archive/2007/12/03/mixology-monday-repeal-day–the-rum-runners.aspx
Portland, OR. Prohibition, and the Monkey Gland.
Here’s mine!

I went ahead and put up my post (though it will be tweaked a bit later to confirm recipes):

I went with the Scoff Law and the Jack Rose, with a Vesper as a chaser.
I went green with the “Everybody’s Irish American” cocktail.
Cheers!
I got carried away writing about the use of eggs in cocktails.
