MxMo XXX: Local Flavor

Since the last round was scheduled late in the month to coincide with the end of Tales of the Cocktail — plus there was a week’s extension so everyone could recover from Tales of the Cocktail — that means we’ve got only a short window until the next round of Mixology Monday.

This round takes place Monday, August 11, and the theme is Local Flavor. Hosting the event is Kevin at Save the Drinkers; in his announcement post, Kevin writes:

The idea is to post one of two types of drinks:

Option 1: Gather ingredients that are representative of the culture/geography/tackiness of your respective cities and make a drink with a truly place-based style. For example, huckleberries are native to the geographical area where I live, as are elderflowers, potatoes, and extremely conservative, closet-case politicians. (I’m just saying!)

Option 2: Dig up an old drink that came from your city and revive it! If you can find the original bar, that would be even more interesting.

Have your post up my the close of Monday, August 11, and — here’s the important part — be sure to place your post’s URL in a comment on Kevin’s announcement post so he knows you’re participating and can include you in the roundup.
