Cool Ice Tool For Home Hedonists

Recently, we are The Hedonistic Bar became aware of this Kickstarter campaign for a company that aspires to offer tools the enable hedonists to make their own crystal clear ice at home. After watching the video, we thought this was a pretty cool idea, and well worth investing $50 in to help make this aspiring company's idea a reality. The chisel, Lewis bag and mallet are probably worth the money all by themselves. Take a look at the video for more information about this really cool idea.

Better living through chemistry

WARNING! Coarse language ahead!

Finally a use for all those chemistry classes we sat through in high school and college! Okay, okay, a use for chemistry other than blowing things up...

This lovely piece of handiwork comes to us from Brazilian designer Mayra Artez. The Periodic Table of Alcohol arranges the concoctions "based on their primary liquors, groups and proofs." To get a better look, click for the bigger version.

We can get down with most of these but there are a couple we might let unsuspecting rubes friends try first. Adios Motherfucker - the name alone makes us a little nervous. We're sure that many poor decisions have begun with the phrase "Adios Motherfucker!"  The Irish Trash Can sounds like something that really should only happen on St. Patrick's Day, and when someone talks about it the next day, everyone looks away awkwardly and mumbles... And last but not least, Shit on Grass. The rule of thumb around our house if it's called poo, looks like poo, or smells like poo, we don't put it in our mouths. 

We think we'll print a poster of this and play our own version of Russian roulette. We'll blindfold people and make them point to the poster and we'll serve the drink their finger land on. Sounds like fun right?

Cheers!

Whoa...I think my bottle just winked at me

Recently, we ran across this series of animated beer labels made by Trevor Carmick of Beer Labels In Motion on a technology blog that we follow. Yes, not only are we here at The Hedonistic Bar cocktail nerds, we are computer nerds as well.  I wonder when we will see some of these label hit the bars and liquor stores around town? Not holding our breath for anytime soon though. We surmise if this technology actually existed, that it would add significantly to the cost of a six pack of suds.
