Natalie Bovis-Nelsen is the author of “Preggatinis™: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be;” host of The Liquid Muse Podcasts (filmed throughout Tales of the Cocktail); teaching the Virgin Mixology seminar; and unabashed by the fine art of self-promotion.
The relationship between cocktails and the Web is an interesting one. After all, with dozens of people blogging about unusual ingredients, classic cocktails and the “little darling” spirits of the moment, it is bound to have an impact. I wrote an article about this topic in the second issue of Drink Me Magazine, a snazzy, free, little booklet distributed primarily in San Francisco because I think the journey from blog-to-glass (or glass-to-blog) is quite a clear one.
One of my favorite events at Tales of the Cocktail is the Blogger Party because its a great opportunity to put “faces with blogs,” so to speak. In this interview with Paul Clarke of Cocktail Chronicles – who is also the clever fellow who got the Tales Blog going as of last year – I ask him his opinion on the subject of internet drinking, as well, for The Liquid Muse Podcasts covering the 5-day event.
Anyone interested in seeing what Paul Clarke has to say on the topic of blogging and the internet can go to the youtube link below until the video appears in this blog post…
