It’s National Cocktail Day tomorrow in case you didn’t know (And it’s totally fine if you didn’t know. I forgot too until I read a recent press release). So I thought I’d round up a few of you readers’ favorite posts from the site because, if you’re here, you like cocktails. Funny thing though, you guys seem to like a lot of the DIY syrups/bitters/tincture posts just as much as the drinks. So I’m including those too because it’s always good to have some fun syrups and mixers around to get your creative cocktail juices flowing. Cheers!
Passion Fruit Syrup // The Hurricane Cocktail
Burnt Sage and Blackberry Sangria
Smoke Tincture and Boulevardier
And if you’re looking for more inspiration, here are a few of my favorite books on cocktails (in no particular order) and all the fun stuff that goes into them! Enjoy!
- The Joy of Mixology
- Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas
- Beach Bum Berry Remixed
- Liquid Intelligence: The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail

There’s so many more I like to read, you can check out the Book Shelf Page for even more (not currently updated but it’s a lot to start with!).
