let's brew some beverages!

ever since i had to get super serious about hydration due to polycystic kidney disease, i've gotten obsessed with beverages of all kinds. i also went fully sober for a whole year for health reasons, and while i don't drink booze for a majority of the time i still indulge in some alcoholic beverages one weekend out of every month as a reward for completing my monthly blood tests -- so you will find both mocktails and alcoholic cocktails here. i am typically pretty lazy about both ingredients and prep, as such the recipes here probably reflect that i hate chopping stuff or washing a bunch of dishes. i use Monin syrups in some drinks, but you could probably make your own simple syrups if you'd prefer. the fun of mixology is trying things your own way so don't be afraid to experiment! it kind of feels like witchcraft to me.
