		<title>THE BEES KNEES &#8211; BOBBY’S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week’s cocktail is the Bees Knees – both figuratively and literally. The phrase “the bees knees” appeared at some point in the 1920’s as an allusion to the prized pollen carried by bees in sacs located on their legs. The cocktail itself originated during the same period as a way to compensate for era’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>GIN &amp; TONIC &#8211; BOBBY’S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Gin and Tonic is arguably the world’s favorite highball. This simple combination of botanical gin bliss, bubbly tonic, and a squeeze of fresh citrus is a leisurely, refreshing option that always helps to beat the summer heat. While a staple of the British colonial era, the gin and tonic is actually a relatively new [...]]]></description>

		<title>SWIZZLES &#8211; BOBBY’S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know what you’re thinking. And yes, the swizzle does sound like some crazy drink Snoop would have verbally invented at the height of his popularity. After all, it wouldn’t be the first of his concoctions &#8211; gin and juice anyone? It’s just too easy to imagine Snoop riding down Santa Monica in drop-top ‘64 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aperol &#8211; The Versatile Italian Aperitif</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anvil recently hosted an Aperol showcase at the bar. I was excited about the opportunity to share Aperol with so many folks because, frankly, Aperol is one of my favorite liqueurs. I often describe Aperol to people as Campari-light, but this a flawed and discrediting description. Aperol is an amazing product that, like Campari is [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE TOM COLLINS &#8211; BOBBY’S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Tom Collins is among the most famous of historical cocktails. Yet despite this widespread notoriety, one glaringly obvious question remains unanswered: Who the hell was Tom Collins anyway? Two competing stories may offer some insight. It seems that the often overlooked Mr. Collins was either a fictitious multi-state libelous scoundrel or a freaking bar [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE CORN N&#8217; OIL &#8211; BOBBY&#8217;S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For weeks, this friendly cocktail column has resisted the urge to write about the Corn N’ Oil. It was tempting, but using the Gulf spill as vehicle for discussing this cocktail seemed far too easy. After all, maintaining this column as a refuge from the daily stream of petroleum press seemed increasingly important as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>BOBBY&#8217;S WEEKLY HOUSTON PRESS COCKTAIL COLUMN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you’re a long time Drink Dogma reader, I know you probably think that I’ve been a lazy blogger. Sure, Drink Dogma has been neglected lately, but I’ve been anything but lax about writing about cocktails. For 15 weeks now, I’ve been writing about cocktails for the Houston Press, a local paper mag that’s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>ANVIL&#8217;S BUFFALO TRACE PRIVATE BARREL SELECTION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kevin and I recently visited Kentucky to select a barrel of Buffalo Trace to serve as Anvil’s own private barrel-selection. Yes, I am aware that this makes our jobs at Anvil seem like the cushiest dream jobs ever. Watch yourself there – you’re drooling with envy all over your screen. Well, truth be told, when [...]]]></description>
