Right now, I'm learning mostly by reverse-engineering cocktails that I like. I do it by taste then I try to ask for the specs from the bar. But, I've also made whiskey and amaretto sour, and grasshopper. Trying to explore more classics. It's so expensive though. So, learning isn't exactly easy (at least financially). I was thinking maybe learn one family of cocktails at a time. But, even then, it's such a big investment. How did you guys get through the learning phase while keeping your financial health intact? Lmao

I have bourbon, japanese whisky, and plantation 3 stars. I was planning on fatwashing either Toki or Days with peanut butter. Then, making banana liquer with rum and bananas. Thinking this would be like a manhattan of some sort with the og peanut butter banana combo flavor (I'm a beginner - i dont really know when a drink belongs to a certain type yet). Maybe there's no way to know until I try it but I'm not really in the financial position to just play around with the spirits. So, I wanted to get your thoughts on whether I should even try it or if your experience says it will be a waste of time. Appreciate your help!

Hello everyone does anyone get or tried to make a kombucha recipe?

Hello guys and gals! Maybe it’s a stupid question, but how do you select a glass to be perfect for a cocktail from volume perspective? I understand that this skill can be obtained with some tries on. But I want to buy some glassware for my home bar and already bought too big to serve cocktails in the same manner as in professional bars. Are there any hints or calculations for picking the right vessel?

Hello everyone. Can somebody consult on how to make, store and ect. saline solution for cocktails?
