It's been a busy time for us all here at Make Me A Cocktail, and with so many changes happening in the cocktail world we're not happy at where our site now sits to help all those discerning drinkers and budding enthusiasts.
It's time for us to move our site and apps onto the next generation of online cocktail tools and we'd love to have you along for the journey.
We want to be the best there is, but what exactly could this look like? We've got so many great ideas and thoughts on what to build but as always we're biased on what we feel is great and filled with amaziness. We really want to hear your voices and what we could do.
We've put together a little (ad free, anonymous if you required) questionnaire that shouldn't take you more than 3-4 minutes and we would love to hear what you've got to say, but as always any ideas, thoughts or 'wish lists' do let us know. We read every one!!

Bartender's top tip
Ice plays a crucial role in cocktails, not just for chilling but also for dilution, which can help meld flavors together smoothly. Use large, clear ice cubes or spheres for spirits-forward drinks like Old Fashioneds, as they melt slower and dilute the drink less. For more refreshing, highball-style drinks, ensure your ice is fresh and plentiful to keep the drink cold and vibrant.
