Flavor & the Menu Magazine

The Spring 2008 issue of Flavor & the Menu Magazine has 3 very
informative articles related to spirits & cocktails, all of which can
be found and downloaded free of charge in pdf format here:

The first one to catch my attention, called 'A Dozen Ways to Cook Up
Cocktails', breaks down some of the methodology behind the current
movement in mixology, in which cocktails are being propelled to
creative new heights through culinary inspiration. There are a lot of
great and inspiring ideas in this article.

The next is called 'Bridging the Drink Divide'. It takes a very
enlightening look at gender differences as they relate to drinking
habits, choices & preferences along with a look at the role culture
plays in molding those elements.

The last, entitled 'Sweet Sips', sheds valuable light on the
philosophy behind the 'Drinkable Desserts', along with some
implementation strategies and some delicious-sounding recipes.
