“What would you put on your business card as a home cocktail aficionado?”
Proprietor May work, or just prop.
Or say established 2015 Proprietor.

There are people who are really good and are better than most bartenders, Beach Bum, Tiki Ti
and many others.
The problem is every yahoo mostly the young goofs call themselves a Mixologist, some have NEVER worked in a bar or could for a busy weekend shift.
I think Mixologist will become one of those duchy words soon.
We try to avoid places that use Handcrafted or Mixology, crafted in their adverts as most times those places are not the sit down and get to know the people type bars.
Handcrafted or Mixology, crafted = young, overpriced bars.

Making syrups is a good way to at least know what is in your mixers and it’s fun.
I find it odd that you don’t hear much about pomegranate juice, I know not tiki.
But dam that is a great flavor and you can freeze it for later use.
Fresh pomegranate is in season from about November to around end of January.

Just got a Sous Vide Water Immersion Cooker for Christmas and want to make some infused
booze and syrups, should be fun.

Getting ready to juice a pomegranate.
