I saw the violette article, too -- Gary Regan's column is awesome. Mixology Monday is hosted by a rotating set of bloggers. The main homepage is <a rel="nofollow" title="MxMo index on Cocktail Chronicles" target="_blank" href="http://www.cocktailchronicles.com/2006/04/11/mixology-monday/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but (as you can see) it's not always 100% up to date. The next few topics are already set through the end of the year. <a rel="nofollow" title="remaining 2007 MxMo topics" target="_blank" href="http://www.cocktailchronicles.com/2007/07/30/just-when-you-thought-it-was-time-to-dry-out/" rel="nofollow">Here's a list</a>. Usually the host will put up an announcement post on his or her blog a few weeks out, explaining how to submit your entry. Paul (at Cocktail Chronicles) usually reminds people, too, and he's in charge of picking hosts, so that's one place to look if you don't read a lot of cocktail blogs regularly.

Cookie: You crack me up! The name is only the first thing I'd have changed about this drink, if it were up to me. But the challenge here is to resurrect an old recipe, not to invent a new one. It was nearly impossible not to tinker with it! Murray: Sounds tasty, indeed.
