I’m Kennedy and my mission is simple: To drink. To discuss. To delve ever deeper into the world of cocktails, wine and beer. Let’s talk about spirits, gadgets, techniques, or just about anything that has to do with entertaining and the home (or local) bar. I’m an amateur-going-on-intermediate home bartender myself, with a passion for great cocktails and having fun. So please come along for the ride dear reader, because I’m absolutely certain that I have as much to learn from you as you do from me.
