Happy New Year From All of Us at The Drink Guy

Here’s to a bright and brilliant 2025—we wish you all the best for the year ahead.

Now that the holiday madness has finally begun to settle, we hope you’ve had a chance to catch your breath. We certainly have and are happily enjoying a little downtime after a whirlwind season.

Our first-ever Advent 2024 series turned out to be an absolute blast! It was a challenging but rewarding experience—from keeping up the daily pace to witnessing the incredible exposure each post received. To say we were thrilled is an understatement! We’ve learned a lot and are excited to carry that momentum into the new year.

Looking ahead, we have some exciting plans for 2025 that we can’t wait to share with you. Of course, we don’t want to spoil all the surprises just yet, so stay tuned for those announcements!

One thing we can share is our fresh posting schedule. We’re focusing on a weekly rhythm—likely on a Wednesday or within the Tuesday-through-Thursday window. Each week will bring a new topic, with the occasional bonus post when inspiration strikes or when we stumble across something too good to keep to ourselves, like a must-try cocktail, a trendy new lounge, or an unexpected food and drink pairing.

Since the world of cocktail culture is vast, we’ve loosely organized our content into four main categories to start:

1. Monthly Lounge Exploration

We’ll venture into local lounges and share our impressions. From refined to rustic, mild to wild, high-end to hidden gems, this series promises to surprise. The best and exciting finds are often just around the corner! Get ready to hit the pavement. 

2. Bar & Drinkware Study

Here we’ll dive into the world of bar tools and drinkware, from vintage treasures to quirky gadgets. Whether your style is elegant, kitschy, colourful, or bizarre, we’ll showcase items that bring personality to your home bar. Be inspired.

3. Liquor Lifestyle

Think of this as the cocktail culture umbrella. From travel and food pairings to fashion and eclectic finds, this category explores everything that makes the liquor lifestyle so fascinating and enjoyable. A must read.

4. Cocktail & Liquor Commentaries

This is where we’ll share our thoughts on spirits, cocktails, and all things related. Expect write-ups on distilleries, breweries, and wineries, along with their stories, locations, and signature offerings. The possibilities here are endless!

Meanwhile, we’re continuing to refine our ever-growing beverage menu—making tweaks, adding new creations, and polishing up the classics.

So grab a glass, mix up something delicious, and join us for another fantastic year of cocktail culture. We’ll be back soon with more to share. 

Cheers!
