It's easy to write an article poking fun at fern bars and pseudo-naughty drink names like Slippery Nipple. People in the past and their absurd habits - so unbelievably shallow. So unlike you and I, who have discovered genuine connoisseurship concerning drinking habits.
But history is unforgiving, and the laugh will be on us. In a few years the term "mixologist" and the whole discourse concerning bitters, muddling, and artisanal gin is going to be ripe for the comedic shredder. I look forward to it.
- pedalpete 12y agoDare I say it is already here. The mixologist is a pretentious name for a bartender. Though I'd argue there is nothing wrong with bitters, muddling or artisan liquers. I can go to any number of bars in Sydney where a 'mixologist' can't make a simple Belvedere Vodka, a bit dirty (not slutty). Go to a place that has a bartender, and at least you've got a shot at something half decent.
