  • First, we made Passion Fruit and Kerrygold Irish Cream Cocktail jellies and you should make them too!
  • Second!! Is that weird ingredient safe to put in your cocktails?! Check it out on this new site!
  • Hate having to comb through a bunch of wines every time you plan a dinner party? Check out these three staples and be done with it already.
  • This week’s science booze news: beer before wine… well, you’re still getting that hangover.
  • Clear ice is one argument. But my takeaway is that we’re about to start arguing whether we should be hand carving all our ice or not (spoiler: I will not be carving any GD ice).
  • Ready to make your bar cart explode with pink and hearts? Maybe not, but we also included a giant piñata filled with booze and who can say no to that?
  • America’s favorite cocktail? It’s still the Margarita but I’m more surprised that an Old Fashioned is number three.
  • Wine to be a wine expert but not sure how to start? Here’s a guide to wine certification to help choose the right path for you.
  • Very much enjoying this long form history of the Old Absinthe House. Here’s part two if you’re interested in some history!
  • And finally, in case you didn’t know, Stir & Strain is EIGHT years old this month and to celebrate we’re having some fun giveaways EVERY Monday this month on our Instagram page. We’ll be announcing the second giveaway today at 12pm PST (hint: it’s an amazing cocktail book) so click on over and tell a friend!
