The Adventures of The Cocktail Geek

By Katelynn Carver May 17, 2022

I’ve always held that an excellent cocktail is absolutely something worthy of geeking out over.

That opinion’s been met with more than its share of side-eyes over the years, but after growing up in my grandfather’s beverage store, and working there once I was of age, I stand firmly by the notion: cocktail mixing is an art form, and a fascinating one at that. Part chemistry, part adapting molecular gastronomy, part aesthetic appeal: mixology can easily be full-on geeky-worthy—and spark fannish delight—all on its own.

Geek in the Time of Corona

By Katelynn Carver March 23, 2020

I caught the COVID in the “early” wave in my area: lucky me. And I’ll be quick with a note of how it’s really not something to take lightly: I am (statistically-speaking) young and in decent health, and I’ve still been knocked down for the count—even if I wasn’t required to stay in isolation because I’m contagious, I definitely couldn’t have gone to work or even left the house (and honestly, I still don’t feel well enough now, almost two weeks later). So, yes. Be safe, for yourself and for others.
