Welcome
We've been around since 1995 as Shaken Not Stirred®: A Celebration of the Martini (aka: Martiniplace.com) since Halloween night 1995 and show no signs of leaving (even though we have become Mixellany.com).
One thing remains the same. We are dedicated to presenting thoughts about all things related to cocktails and spirits, bartenders and bartending: bits of lore, anecdotes, history, recipes, you name it, plus a healthy dose of the reminding you that quality over quantity counts in the true appreciation of the cocktail.
(Also being of legal age in your particular country of residence when you enter this site will make all of us feel a whole lot better.)

A pitstop on our spirituous journey
Do we have a mailing list? Yes.
We only use it to send out announcements of new book titles and events that might tickle your fancy. Sell or lend your details to other people? Wouldn't think of it. We have the same problem with too many emails that advertise things we didn't ask to hear about. Your can read our Privacy Policy below.
But if you are on our mailing list you have a better chance to receive notices of special pre-publication discounts and other fun things.
