There has been a lot of interest amongst our readers in one of Hunter S. Thompson’s favorite drinks, the Singapore Sling.  I thought it was time to share with you the perfect Singapore Sling recipe.  I got into Slings heavily during the summer of 2008.  My mini-fridge was full with Slings for months.  It’s a [...]

Jan 20, 2010 5 Comments

Hard cider is the ultimate lazy man’s fall project.  I’m going to explain how with a little mistreatment and forgetfulness I made a little patch of heaven.  Note that this is no direction set.  There is a lot of information about brewing hard cider out there, so look it up yourself dammit!
