PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY
The Libation Lounge encourages readers to drink responsibly. For more information about the impact of alcohol on personal or public health, non-alcoholic beverage options, or to seek help for someone you know who may be fighting alcohol addiction, you may visit this link: The Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Public Health
FOR COCKTAIL RECIPES
I like these sites best because each of them boasts hundreds, if not thousands, of cocktail recipes and are searchable in various ways.
New York Times Recipes Enter “cocktails” in the search field
FOR GENERAL COCKTAIL KNOW-HOW
Imbibe Magazine Note: this publication has a pronounced skew toward the bar trade
Vinepair’s Cocktail College Podcast Weekly, one-hour-ish deep dive on a cocktail of interest (archived and searchable) with professional bartenders chosen for their expertise on the particular drink. You’ll pick up a lot of info about tools and techniques as well. Highly recommended!
