Introducing the Cocktail Critic

This new section will be a regular feature on the Art of Drink website, which will be published every Thursday of the week. A user submitted cocktail will be review and rated. Each cocktail will be rated on the ingredients, preparation, taste, uniqueness and a bartender rating. The bartender rating is to indicate whether this cocktail is appropriate for a bar environment or just with friends at home. Some cocktails are great, but the cost and ability to make the cocktail in a bar environment are important issues.

The introductory review will be of a cocktail sent in by David McCarthy. David created a number of cocktails to bring the chocolate martini to a new level. Please feel free to submit you original creation, for review, to dsoneil@gmail.com. When possible, I will try to acquire the correct ingredients in the recipe, but some items may not be available, so I may have to substitute with similar ingredients. All comments and suggestion on these drinks will be appreciated and I’m sure the submitters would like to hear your opinions.
