We've rounded up the tastiest sips from this week's posts so you don't miss anything delicious! This Week in Serious Eats: Drinks 1. 10 Great Imperial Stouts To Try Right Now "If you want to try Black Tuesday, Kate the Great, Sexual Chocolate, Dark Lord, Surly Darkness, or a number of other great "cult" imperial stouts, you should probably prepare yourself for the possibility of standing in line on release day. But rest assured, there are plenty of top-tier imperial stouts available that require a lot less hoop-jumping to snag a bottle." 2. The Serious Eats Guide to Irish Whiskey "Just in time for a certain mid-March holiday, I'll look at the definition and history of Irish whiskey, discuss what distinguishes it from its Scottish cousin, and talk about the major distillers and brands. Slàinte!" 3. From Behind the Bar: In the Weeds "Making mistakes will kill you when you're in the weeds, because you have to take precious time handling complaints, cleaning up a mess, or re-making an order that you would have gotten right if you were thinking straight." 4. Bottom Shelf Beer: Rheingold Lager "Bad news, forward-lookers: The Rheiny (let's assume its adherents call it Rheiny) I picked up last week in the Boston suburbs has a cool name, a cool label, a cool back story, and a terrible flavor." 5. Our 20 Favorite Photos from the 1st Year of SE: Drinks "One of the best parts of editing this site is getting to admire the beautiful photos taken by our star photographers and contributors. Here are 20 of our favorite shots of cocktails, beer, milkshakes, and more from the past year." 6. Hangover Helper: Fried Cabbage Vareniky at Varenichnaya in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn "The Russians may be the most experienced drinkers-to-excess in all of Europe, so you'd imagine they have a hangover cure or two up their sleeves." 7. DIY vs. Buy: Cocktail Ingredients You Should Not Make Yourself "If I had a nickel for every mason jar full of herbs, spices, and liquor steeping in my kitchen, I'd have 55 cents. (That's not a lot of money, but it is a lot of weird jars.)" 8. Soda: Sanbitter from San Pellegrino "There was a time when we drank mojitos; now we prefer Manhattans. There was a time when we liked Frappuccinos; today, we drink our macchiati sans sugar. And while there was a time when we might not have properly appreciated Sanbitter, today it's one of our favorite sodas." 9. Snapshots from Long Island Wine Country "In the fields, there's some pruning to do, but most of the excitement is in the wineries these days—at least until the first green buds appear on the vines." 10. Espro Press: For Better Tasting French Press Coffee "If the real question is taste, the people at Espro, a Canadian coffee equipment manufacturer, have reinvented the classic device with a sexy, double-filtered twist that focuses on just that."
