Welcome to Cocktailia! Cocktailia was started in 2007 by Kenn Wilson when he realized that he had been posting bar reviews and cocktail recipes to his own personal blog for years and he should do something more useful with them.
I started this site to have one convenient place for all my cocktail-related posts, reviews, and recipes, so readers can browse them more easily and without having to wade through the rest of my personal blog. I’m not trying to be a comprehensive bar guide or a definitive drink recipe resource; rather, these are just some photos and thoughts about places I go and the things I mix up at home.
Outside of a brief stint tending bar at a restaurant in the mid-’90s, pouring Scotch and sodas for old barflies at 1:00pm, I’ve never actually been involved in the mixology world in any professional capacity. My day job is that of a web developer and sysadmin specializing in Ruby on Rails, WordPress, and open source web server stacks (if you have a project you need help with, see the web site of my consultancy, Corvid Works).
Contribute!
I’m always open for guest bloggers who want to write up their favorite spots in their own city, or those who also practice the mixological arts at home. Got a great bar or recipe you want to share, or a product you’d like to see reviewed here? Get in touch!
