The Speculist: The Good Stuff

The Good Stuff

FastForward Supplement

Just in time for the weekend, Posse Ringleader Vic is chiming in with some cocktail recipes for those post-Mars-Day/Labor Day parties that everyone is sure to be having. There's also another Mars cocktail recipe in this week's main FastForward feature, plus reader Sanjeev was good enough to provide one the other day (check the comments).

As old Jon Jonzz would say, "Drink responsibly, everybody."

Vic's Tips

The Future of Style, Fashion, Hipness

Hey, Folks

This weekend is not too late to have a few friends over to celebrate our close encounter with Mars. Even geeky Future Fanboys like you can throw a decent Mars party if you have the right refreshments on hand. Consider serving your guests one or all of the following to sip on while viewing Big Red.

Ingredients: 1 oz Midori melon liqueur 2 oz Vodka or Gin	Viking Lander on the Rocks The perfect thing to down before extending your probe arm in the search for signs of life. Ingredients: 1/2 oz.
