Hopscotch Tasting

Bartender! Yes, the guy who stands behind the bar mixing and showing his or her skills with various drinks. For others, it is just another profession like others, but only those who have been on the other side of the table know what it takes to be successful in providing each customer with what exactly he or she wants. It is an art that very few masters proficiently.

To be a bartender who satisfies each of his or her customers, there are several skills that one must possess. The very basic and the most obvious of these is that you need to be properly skilled in making drinks. Secondly, you need to have knowledge of all the various types of cocktails and how to make them. Third and the most popular that will take you a step ahead towards being a pro is being updated and well known about the …

No, it doesn’t have anything to do with a rooster—but it does have something to do with a horse. Type “origin of word cocktail” into your search engine and you may see a dictionary entry that explains the term cock-tailed originally described a horse with a docked (or clipped-short) tail, and “cock-tailed” became a sort of pejorative for racehorses without thoroughbred pedigrees—with mixed lineage, if you will. So the term may have come to be applied to alcoholic drinks that were similarly blended rather than pure spirits.

But that’s still not quite right. Keep reading for cocktail clarification.

We may never know precisely when the first cocktail was made or who invented it, and for a long time, the etymology of the term used to describe it—in the words of H. L. Mencken (who did an extensive research on the topic but in the end came up short)—was “quite as …

Adult parties are of many kinds and they range from formal social functions where only adults are invited to sex parties. One has to behave differently in various kinds of adult parties depending on the theme the host has chosen. There are bound to be lots of people at the party and the chances of you getting ignored are, let’s admit it, pretty high. This number will climb up higher if you have become alone without any group and moreover if you don’t know anyone apart from the host. But that’s no reason to miss out on some fun and you could also become the life of the party as well. Don’t believe us? Then there are some tips which will help you out:

Look the part

If the theme of the party of costume preference isn’t listed on the invitation then make sure you call the host to confirm …

Old Fashioned

Pretty much the OG cocktail formula—spirits (in this case, whiskey, whether rye or bourbon), sugar, bitters, and a diluting agent—but with club soda in place of regular water for a little extra lift. And a zesty orange twist for garnish.

Moscow Mule

Knowing what we now do about the equine origins of the word cocktail, the “mule” in this ginger-heavy drink’s name packs a double meaning (although the theory is just that it refers to the kick of the aromatic key ingredient). Bonus points if you serve it in the iconic copper mug, but it tastes just as good from any other glass.

Frozen Ginger Peach Margarita

Here’s another gingery pick, but one that’s far removed from the original cocktail. Can you imagine Dr. Stoughton’s reaction to a frozen margarita machine and its gloriously slushy, sweet output? Not a trace of bitters in sight, but plenty of tequila.…

Sex parties are real.

I know, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that, too. I thought that outside the provenance of films like Eyes Wide Shut, these things were mostly imaginary.

If they did exist, I was sure they were totally unsexy messes, an excuse for guys to get wasted and walk around leering at naked women enjoying themselves together.

That’s definitely a part of some sex parties, but the real ones — the good ones — are about so much more.

A sex party is a great opportunity for sexually active and sexually curious adults to explore their kinks in a safe, fun, group environment.

Do you fantasize about group sex? Do you dream of being watched while you masturbate? These are relatively common fantasies you can totally explore at a sex party.

I know of …
