I'm a huge fan of all variations of spicy and savory cocktails. Bring on the Bloody Marys! And I completely get the concept of vinegar in cocktails, whether as a gastrique, or a classic combo like balsamic vinegar-and-strawberry.

And then I saw this press release from Grey Poupon: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/cool...CC%7D&dist=hppr

Mustard in cocktails? An emphatic No, thank you. Closest I can stomach in this category is a horseradish or wasabi-infused liquor.

Spice & Ice and more

I'm about to hurl just reading that article. This is the problem when food product corporations try to publish recipes. They often make no sense. To quote James Lileks, author of The Gallery of Regrettable Food,

They're not really recipe books. They're ads for food companies, with every recipe using the company's products, often in unexpected ways. (Hot day? Kids love a frosty Bacon Milkshake!) There's not a single edible dish in the entire collection.
