Behind the Bar with Rob

Hello everyone! 🍹 Exciting news - I've launched my very own cocktail blog! 🎉 Explore a world of delicious drinks, from classic favorites to creative concoctions. Join me on this flavorful journey as we mix, shake, and sip our way through the wonderful world of cocktails. 🥂

Since I was first introduced to the Gin & Tonic as a teenager I have been fascinated by cocktails.  How they were invented, the names and background stories, who invented them and so on.  Over the years I became obsessed with creating the best recipes for my go-to drinks as well as ones I make occasionally.  When we visit relatives, my wife always asks me to make her cocktail because I do it better than they do, especially my brother Don. For a time, I was an avid collector of cocktail shakers until they became a popular item to collect and became overpriced. I still display and use them.  I have also collected some bar guides along the way including one published in 1909 by Frank Stutsman called “Good Things to Drink”; a very interesting book.

So I will be sharing with you my recipes for the best cocktails.

Cheers!
