I've learned a lot, tried a lot, know some hacks. I could advise or answer question on things like:
- Getting started setting up your "front bar" and "back bar"
- My favorite cocktails that you might not have ever heard of
- Bar equipment reccos
- My favorite riffs on classic cocktails: "If you like an X, you'll love an X."
- Glassware reccos
- YouTube channels I follow
- "I like X cocktail, what should I try next"
- "I have a bottle of X, what can I make with it?"
- Why are some Moscow Mules good and some terrible?
- How to make a Martini or Martini variation for someone who doesn't like Martinis but is willing to give them another try
- Best cocktails for someone who doesn't like cocktails (like my wife)
- Etc....
