Cheers!

This whole thing started because of a glass. Not just any glass: the classic, retro, triangular martini glass. The problem? I didn’t like martinis. But then I discovered the cosmopolitan – finally, a cocktail I did like that came in that iconic glass.

From there, I went all in. I started researching cocktail shakers, landed on the Elevated Craft shaker, and joined their Facebook group. That’s where I fell in love with the creativity behind cocktails – the flavors, the presentations, the little details that make a drink special. Then, the scientist in me took over. Clarification, acidity adjustments, all the tweaks that take a cocktail from good to how did you do that? I was hooked.

Fast-forward a bit, and I started this website. About a year in, I jumped on Instagram, and, well, let’s just say I got really into it. This site took a backseat, mostly becoming a home for links, cocktail-related promos, and random notes. But now, I’m coming back. I’ll be posting here a lot more, keeping things in sync with my Instagram.

You can also find me on Facebook and Threads, but let’s be honest – Instagram is where the action is.

I’m all about embracing tropical and Latin American spirits (rums and tequilas) to the fullest extent! So, expect loads of concoctions featuring those spirits – they’re my main squeeze! 

I also throw in some gin and vodka recipes occasionally, just not as frequently – consider them the cool sidekicks! So, if you’re on the hunt for whiskey or bourbon cocktail recipes, sorry, but that’s not the vibe here.

Stay tuned.
