Hello From the Cocktail Chicks!

Posted by Ti Adelaide Martin on October 28th, 2008

Hail all fel­low Cocktailians!

In The Land of Cocktails.com is here. Silly, infor­ma­tive, seri­ous and much, much more. Like a good restau­rant it will evolve over time as we learn what the heck we are doing and as we lis­ten to you.

Our web site, inter­net TV show – I never even know what to call it – was inspired by the book my cousin Lally Bren­nan (the other Cock­tail Chick) and I released a year ago. But it was stirred up, invented and molded by some dear friends of mine in L.A. who are TV pro­duc­ers and writ­ers. Appar­ently dur­ing the writ­ers strike they had too much time on their hands and our book handy. As they made their way through the book (pos­si­bly the idea also incu­bated dur­ing one rol­lick­ing week­end visit to New Orleans) their crafty lit­tle brains began per­co­lat­ing. Never one to pass up a dif­fi­cult, expen­sive, and risky under­tak­ing, I was in.

The mar­velously mad and tal­ented group is led by my dear long­time pal Geor­gia Rags­dale who brought along a bevy of cre­ative, expe­ri­enced, crazy gals that now lead the In The Land of Cock­tails gang: Nan­cylee Myatt, Paige Bern­hardt, Angela Hart­man and Court­ney Rowe. This group inspires me with their zeal for this project and their entre­pre­neur­ial hubris. And – they like our drinks!

Next they pulled into our orbit the ladies of Clock­work – Nancy Lyons and Meghan Wilker who have far too much expe­ri­ence and too many awards cre­at­ing some of the country’s best web­sites, includ­ing major national retail­ers, to be putting in the time and effort to make our site slick and func­tional. But – heh – they liked the cock­tails too!

So that’s the Reader’s Digest ver­sion of a busy but fun road to the launch of www.inthelandofcocktails.com.

We hope we can be your source for cock­tail info, recipes, instruc­tion on cock­tail mak­ing from our own gang as well as dozens of the fore­most author­i­ties on cock­tails. Along the way we hope our mini webisodes are both enter­tain­ing and prac­ti­cal. But we can’t help but come to you from our own per­spec­tive which is a New Orleans per­spec­tive. With that as a restau­ra­teur we won’t leave out food, cook­ing demos, the cul­ture of New Orleans, music – and did we say food?

Wel­come – and as we say Oogy­WaWa!
That’s cheers in Zulu
- Ti
