On the town in Milwaukee: Sipping something local
Locally, you'll find drinks, cocktails and beers screaming "Wisconsin" each time a bartender goes to make the pour. You might not find them all at the Fair, but you'll find a decent mixture and if you're really looking for one of these local cocktails, just step just down the street or into a neighbor's house where prideful locals will happily educate you on Wisconsin favorites.

Know your Irish whiskeys
Whether it's the taste, versatility or just thanks to an amazing marketing department, Jameson has become the No. 1-selling Irish whiskey in the United States and the world. It's a popular choice among bartenders and shot seekers, but that certainly doesn't make it the only choice.

A drink a day: Big Jamo
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and as you might know from a previous blog, I'm a sucker for cocktails made with ginger ale, so the Big Jamo is a seasonal favorite. Plus, "Big Jamo" is my nickname for my husband, whose name is James. Kidding. He'd like that, but still kidding.

Daydrinking the sponsor's booze ... and loving it
One of the best parts about having a liquor distributor as the main sponsor of OnMilwaukee.com Bar Month is that I feel obliged to try its tasty products. It didn't take much arm twisting to get a few of my co-workers to join me.
