We've been around since Halloween night 1995 as Shaken not Stirred®: A Celebration of the Martini (aka: Martiniplace.com) and show no sign 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 reminding you that quality over quantity counts in the true appreciation of the cocktail.

(Also being of legal drinking age in your particular country of residence when you enter this site will make all of us feel a whole lot better.)
