​Whether you mix at home, work behind a bar, or run a beverage program, The Double Strainer helps you do one thing: serve better drinks and build better bars.

This page is your map. It shows you where to start, which articles to read first, and how to grow from home bartender to bar manager.

​

Each track collects the most important “starter” articles for that topic: solid basics to understand how drinks work, step-by-step cocktail recipes and techniques, and the business side of running a bar. All of them are written to be accessible, even if you’re just getting into the craft.
