WELCOME

You have reached the website of autodidact mixologist Jarkko A. Karhunen. This is a partial translation of my Finnish mixology site. What is missing here is basically my online store (as I only deliver to Finland) and the blog (which I can't be bothered to translate...).  But still, cheers or kippis, as we say!

COCKTAILS I'VE MADE – AND WILL MAKE IN THE FUTURE

I make drinks and cocktails in my home bar. I've gathered a list of all those cocktails with ratings and ingredients as well as links to the origins of the recipes. As you might guess, I also have a long list of cocktails I've not made yet, but certainly plan on doing... one day.

ALCOHOLS I'VE TASTED

To be able to one day create original cocktails, one has to know the flavors of spirits and other ingredients. Therefore I've "had to" taste all the ingredients I've gathered.

MY TOOLS OF MIXOLOGY

Most cocktails can be made with simple tools, but once you've sacrificed your free time to mixology, your equipment selection will start to expand. It might even get out of control... but I'm not confessing to anything.

THE WORLD OF ALCOHOL

Alcohol is big business and many familiar brands are actually owned by huge corporations, which also might own other familiar brands. I've tried to figure out this whole mess a little.

Social media

YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK

You can find me on social medias as well. On YouTube you can watch me make cocktails. On Instagram you can see random pictures of mixology as well as my job as a bus driver. On Facebook you can discuss or read about mixology. Note that all these are 100% in Finnish, but a picture says more than a thousand words in any language.
