drinks blog

Can I buy a good review please?

 

There are lots of websites out there that review spirits, cocktails or bars; of course some are good and some less so, but all of them, as far as I’m concerned, have a responsibility. You see if you choose to put your opinions out in the public domain, you are in essence telling the world that you know what you're talking about. You’re sharing insight in the hopes of guiding people to a better drinking experience, or trying to help them avoid poor drinking decisions.

 

At b&t we strive to offer our unbiased thoughts on a range of cocktail and spirit related subjects. We do this free of charge so that we’re never in a position where we might have to compromise our integrity. If I write about a particular brand and sing its praises, it’s because I like it, think it’s a quality product and want to encourage others to experience it for themselves. If our readers disagree with me then I welcome their comments, especially if it sparks debate. I’ve disappointed friends in the past by refusing to write about the brands they work for because I don’t think it’s the right product to discuss with our readers. It comes down to integrity.

There are times when I wonder what on earth made me think that it would be a good idea to start the bitters&twisted blog. I guess I kind of assumed that writing a blog would be pretty easy… you know, bash out a few hundred words every now and then and snap a couple of pictures, click post and you’re done!
 
How wrong I was! Actually writing a drinks blog is time consuming, frustrating and at times feels like hard work. First you have to come up with ideas, then you have to research them, maybe come up with a couple of cocktails, set up the camera and lights and that’s before you’ve even written a word. That being said it is also incredibly rewarding.
