Truffle Season, It Is Here

The current wave of cocktail nerd-dom has reached such great heights that there's a whole cottage industry of cocktail bloggers out there and a whole annual conference (Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans each July) devoted to the mixologists' blogosphere. If you're a beer-and-shot kind of person, you'll probably want to stop reading and click away now. But for those of you who want to geek out on things like flavored bitters, vintage gin drinks, and making your own falernum, here's a roundup of cocktail blogs to beef up your booze knowledge and satisfy your cocktail curiosities.
Alcademics
Alcademics is the soapbox for freelance writer and cocktail enthusiast Camper English, and it covers ground from San Francisco bar openings, to articles about the healthfulness of drinking, to recipes for carrot cocktails.
Barmano
This growing web concern is meant to be a one-stop source for drink recipes, city bar guides and bar jobs -- though the latter hasn't quite filled in yet. It's a new site, begun in part by local startender Duggan McDonnell, and we think it will go far.
Cocktail Hacker
Started by a couple of Colorado dudes, this one-year-old site is brimming with good stuff. Cocktails + Hackers == Cocktail Hacker
Cocktail Nerd
This wordy and nerdy site may be a little tedious for some, but the writers do the dirty work of reviewing absinthes and digging up classic cocktails from vintage books like the Tart Gin Cooler.
Kaiser Penguin
Ever want to learn how to make your own Falernum or Orgeat? This is where to go.
The Liquid Muse
One of only three blogs listed here by female bloggers, the Liquid Muse covers everything from cocktail competitions, female mixology stars, and mixologists on the L.A. scene.
LUPEC Boston
Another blog composed by women, the Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails - Boston blog offers up some vital tips like How to Drink All Day without Getting (Too) Drunk.
The Pegu Blog
Recipes, fun pictures, and plenty of musings and advice for cocktailians.
Sloshed
Reviews, more recipes, books, and handy Martha Stewart-ish posts like this Home Bar 101.
Thinking of Drinking
A blog by Sonja Kassebaum, co-owner of the North Shore Distillery in Chicago, who makes her own gin, vodka, aquavit and absinthe, and who does things like attend distillers conferences.
