I wrote this up last weekend (that's my secret to continual posting when I should be off writing paying stories) so I apologize if my news is not-so-fresh. -The Harbor Beach Marriott in Fort Lauderdale will send a "cocktail concierge" (aka "bartender") to your room to muddle your drinks by your bed. -Hillary Clinton throws back a shot of whisky. The brand? Crown Royal. -It's not on the market yet, but someone designed a wine bottle that includes fold-out cups on the label. That'll make your picnic basket lighter. [Complex] -A discount for newly-poor Americans at Harry's Bar in Venice. [The Liquid Muse] -Hansen's Natural Soda now has natural sugar (anyone else feel duped?) -Robert Simonson has a round-up of three new cocktail bars that have opened in Brooklyn. Four years later, I may finally visit friends who've moved there. - Too lazy to make a real mint julep? The people of Havana Mojito-flavored soda say Just Add Bourbon. I say Just No. -Cocktail shaker, or deadly weapon? [Liquor Snob]
