Cynical Mixologist

Cynical Mixologist

I like to mix up drinks and want to share tips and tricks on how to make your own. My main aim is to give people a better knowledge of cocktails, whether they want to mix drinks up at home for their family and friends, or to simply give you inspiration to try a new drink next time you're out.

Aside from weekly how to tutorials, I want to branch out in the future to show bar builds, techniques and which equipment to buy, whilst providing you with the history and knowledge of how these cocktails were created.

Finally another subject I'm passionate about is to protect the bar, pub and nightclub industry, a lot of governments demonise night time industries, in order to line their landlord friends pockets, this is an assault on our culture, for the past 15 years it's been soul destroying watching venues, being ripped down to build a new flat pack looking condominium for soulless people, or well established businesses moving on because the new inhabitants don't like it being there.

    Noted! Out of interest how do you pronounce Worcestershire? They’re a mixed bag in all honesty especially with online food shops. I do get them in from one place they are like kettlebells. Main thing about sharp citrus fruits for me is fresh juice, inexcusable when people served up from a bottle or in syrups. A worrying trend I’ve seen a couple of times in recent years, some places have cocktails on tap…
