Irish Heroesnew
The Irish have given hope to the modern world. Somehow, some way, wiser heads were able to prevail in Northern Ireland—the bloody violence has halted, and peace reigns. Will the same hold for Iraq and Afghanistan? Only time will tell.

Remix: The Moscow Mulenew
A fresh take on the classic American cocktail. Moscow’s been defanged by perestroika and capitalism, though; we’ve moved on to new bogeymen. This month's Remix reflects that with not just one new drink, but a pair of them, a drinkable Axis of Evil: the tart and refreshing Baghdad Burro and the kimchi-kicked Pyongyang Pony.

Remix: The Champagne Cocktailnew
Instead of a bitters-soaked sugarcube, Florida's February strawberries add sweetness (and a lovely pale-pink tinge) to the wine. To balance the sugar with pucker, I pair the berries with balsamic vinegar – like many of the best couples, strawberries and balsamic may not seem to have much in common, but they bring out the best in each other.

Limoncello Remixednew
Limoncello is a sweet, fiery Italian lemon liqueur. Our Remixed version takes a few shortcuts and adds a surprise – pompelmo (grapefruit) instead of limon, for a more refreshing, bittersweet liqueur that’s perfect mixed with Campari, chilled, or over ice. Drink in moderation – it’s strong stuff.
