You’re at a weblog detailing cocktails, spirits, liqueurs, mixers, barware, bars, lounges, and of course, bitters. Maintained by Michael Dietsch, a writer, editor, and accidental bartender in Brooklyn.

Dietsch has written about spirits and cocktails at A Dash of Bitters since February 2006; he’s the former cocktail columnist for Edible Rhody magazine; and he contributes to Serious Eats. When he’s not mixing drinks, he’s smoking huge chunks of meat, grilling vegetables, bicycling, or enjoying a fine cigar. He’s married to Jennifer Hess, and they have a son, Julian, and two cats.
