Stir and Strain

Hello! I'm Elana, and I've been sharing my cocktail creations on Stir and Strain since 2011. That's quite a collection of drink recipes! Trends in spirits may change, but my goal remains the same: to provide you with great drinks and reliable recipes. Whether you're just starting out, a home bartender, or a seasoned pro, you'll find something here for everyone. In addition to cocktails, I also share recipes featuring food infused with alcohol, wine pairing tips, beer cocktails, entertaining ideas, gift suggestions, and options for low and non-alcoholic beverages.
