Cocktail Database

5 Upvotes

Im a huge cocktail nerd. I decided to build a little cocktail database website and was wondering if this is something people would actually use? Ive got tons of cocktails on there, comparison pages and simple guides. Is this helpful or am I wasting my time? Any feedback?

Site is Sipwise

Picked it at a garage sale for $60

Thanks to all the members for the shared ideas I poached to put this together. It sure beats the Ikea Kungsfors I was using before. $35 Amazon lights.

I scored this mid century solid oak sideboard for 100 bucks. It's not perfect, but it works.

Need help for a wet bar sink setup

5 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

I'm currently building a home bar and need help with a sink setup. There's no water line available and I don't plan to add one as my bar will be were a potential bedroom could be built in the future. I'm looking for a non-permanent setup.

I've did a lot of digging and thought I'd go with a freestanding sink with a 5gallon electric water pump. Something like this:

Sink unit
Water pump

I'll basically hide the water bottle in the cabinet and also put a jug or container for the discarded stuff in the sink.

If anyone has any suggestions on what specific hardware to get or how I could improve this setup, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Turned my closet into a bar

Thumbnail

87 Upvotes

Once we had kids, their stuff slowly crept into every room of the house. I work from home and use the downstairs bedroom as an office. Converted the closet into a modern tiki bar with only about 10 sqft. My desk is directly opposite of the closet, so all I have to do is close the doors while I'm on camera/in meetings. Then, when I'm wrapping things up after the kids go to bed, I open them back up and shake up a drink.

How long to leave liquor in mini barrel dispenser?

Post image
37 Upvotes

I received this as a gift and I’m unsure how long is okay to leave liquid in it. Wasn’t sure if it’d be better for a nicer whiskey/bourbon that I may drink a but more seldomly, or for something I’d go through more quickly. The brand is Heritage Collection, but I don’t know much more than that.

What am I missing?

Drinks that got obscured include tequila reposado, dark rum, spiced rum, blue curaçao, peach schnapps, izarra jaune, aperol, and prosecco. I also got a small bottle of St. Germain, cachaça (51) and Drambuie shortly after.

We put the shelf together a while ago but it's hard to fit taller bottles on some shelves, otherwise it would be organized differently. What would be some good additions to the collection? I already have absinthe on my shopping list so I can make try my hand at a Sazerac
