Design Fail: The Tequila Your Man Could Smell Like

Look up. It’s the tequila your man could smell like. Now look down. It’s two things your design reeks of. I’m on a donkey.

Saw the La Pinta tequila flyer at The Irish Bank (brilliant place to promote pomegranate infused tequila).

Celebrate: International Bacon Day

What are you doin’ for International Bacon Day?
It’s this Saturday, September 5. Here’s some starters for ya …

Fused Bacon

FUSED BACON BLANKETS
This serendipitous concoction occurred at my InLaws in Cambria. Apparently if you lay a bunch of bacon close together and turn your back long enough, they’ll transform into a bacony blanket of bliss. Make two so you can curl up with one after you pass out from the first.

Bacon-Infused Old Fashioned with Baconized Makers Mark

BACON-INFUSED OLD FASHIONED
Not too long ago, Tyler made some Baconized Maker’s Mark and some some Baconized stickers that quickly Baconized every possible surface in the office. Say it again, Baconized!

2 ounces bacon-infused bourbon
1/4 ounce Grade B maple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Twist of orange
