Hi everyone!

Hey hey people! Man it's been a long time since I last used a forum, it's good to be back in action.
Alright well this is for introductions so let me get this started

So apart from the things that most people enjoy, such as music, I'm honestly a bit of a nerd. I really enjoy literary analysis, cocktail making (not gonna call it mixology because I wouldn't consider myself that skilled), anime and manga, and learning more about other cultures and countries. I'm from the United States so my knowledge of world geography has always been a bit limited, but I've tried to make an active effort to learn more about those from other parts of the globe because it's fascinating how other people live and act.

I have a Neocities website of course, though it's less of a personal blog and more a small guidebook on how to start making your own cocktails. I wanted to add more features but university has been taking up more and more of my time lately so I had to stop updating it and keep it as it is right now.

I was sent a link to one of the threads here and decided "hey you know what? this place looks awesome and people are posting here! let's go ahead and sign up"

When it comes to making things on the web... in all honesty I really enjoy passing what I've learned on to other people, so that's why my site is relatively informational. Interaction is nice too, of course, but being able to share your ideas with others is something I really enjoy.

I hope to enjoy my stay here and hopefully make some nice contributions

Hi Zappa, Welcome to the forum

Ah this is cool, its fun seeing a site that very dedicated to a particular hobby, thats a nice change from the usual kind of personal site! Im always put off mixing by all the ingredients you need but I do enjoy watching this channel that explores early 20th century drinks! So maybe some day when I have a budget

The only bartending thing I saw on Neocities at the time was a giant list of recipes so I figured I should at least give it a shot. Some people seem happy with it so I'd say mission accomplished.
Upon looking again, it seems like there's still not much out there besides some restaurant sites and the aforementioned list

I've actually seen some of these cocktails in my big book of recipes but I've never tried making them personally. I know cocktail culture really exploded during the early 20th century in the U.S. so I've always wanted to try them out. They were popular at the time for a reason right? Thanks for the playlist, it seems very comfy!
