This site is intended to be an unpretentious resource for people who would like to make great drinks at home without breaking the bank purchasing a number of exotic bottles for a few specific recipes. The content is based upon a core group of bottles to set up your bar and then how to complement those with other bottles you may be considering. Enjoy the journey with Alcohobbyist!
