Great Cocktail Websites

Jamie Boudreau, originally made his name at Lumiere and put Vessel in Seattle on the map when Esquire named it a top bar in North America. His sense of the perfect cocktail balance is extraordinary. Good chat. Great recipes.

Home Bartending 101 is a great reference for those that want to learn to make their own great cocktails from home.
