You have found cocktailHQ.com. A blog and website about classic, culinary, and craft cocktail drinking and making. This is a site maintained by cocktail enthusiasts and home bartenders that love the classic cocktail. Classic cocktails like the Aviation, Sidecar, and Ramos Gin Fizz were made back in the day with fine fresh and homemade ingredients so thus it follows that we appreciate modern day culinary and craft cocktail imbibements and we are always searching for and trying something new. Like in the art of cooking when one works with fine bases and fresh homemade ingredients the possibilities are endless. We are based in New Orleans so there will be much about home here but we will write about the cocktails we experience on the road as well. We hope this site grows and becomes a definitive and unbiased trove of information for the cocktail enthusiast : culinary, craft, and classic.
