Monday Booze News: it's aperitif time! // stirandstain.com

Welcome back, let’s get to the boozy news.

  • Here’s a solid list on how to really start a good home bar, with a few tips from pros I will actually take advice from.
  • Would you, could you, do you think? Would you, could you, drink milk pink?
  • Curious about the origin of your favorite booze’s name? Here’s a video with the, mostly benign, origins of some popular beverages.
  • There’s a bunch of great cocktail books out there that will help you mix a good drink. Here’s a convenient list.
  • Crushed ice. Does it really ruin your drink? Yay or nay?
  • Buzzfeed is here to make us all feel stupid about how we use lemon juicers.
  • Treat yo self this Fall to the best bars in the US (and I guess look at some foliage along the way too).
  • The Martini glass has a history. Here it is (with a reason as to why it should probably go).
  • There was a gin advent calendar. And also a whiskey one. And now… here’s a wine one.
  • And lastly, Halloween is coming, so go visit some haunted distilleries!
