| - Wanna guess who the GTA's next big mixologist is? I'll give you a hint, he's about 6'1, has a beard that changes its length like a Yo-Yo's string AND I bet you're reading his review right now! Yep - it's me and it's all thanks to B-Y-O-B! (Rhymes rule)
So where would someone who loves to drink cocktails but who hasn't made more than a few basics get that sort of confidence? Well I bought that at BYOB too... along with a wooden muddler, a couple varieties of aromatics (bitters), cocktail cherries and some simple syrup (yes I know it's easy to make it but I was in a rush and it was right there).
BYOB, literally has everything that the amateur or professional cocktailer/mixologist could want to stock or restock a craft cocktail bar. Every tool, bitter, glass, book .... everything! Also, be sure you know roughly what brand of bitters you want half the store is bitters, floor to ceiling bitters yo!
However, shopper beware get ready to pay for it AND be advised if you don't have your wits about you, they will up-sell you right out of your pants. Example: I wanted cocktail cherries, there were many options - the recommended the $25 jar... When my bill came up over $80 I first asked for a shot of alcohol, and THEN asked what the prices were of things - I removed said $25 cherries and opted for the much more reasonable $11 jar (note: They were equally delish).
I'm in the process of building up a home cocktail bar so I know I'll be spending plenty more of my dollars (wisely) here in the near future!
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.... SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.... SHAKE that cocktail... shake that cocktail!!!
