Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That commission never decides what we recommend.
Where a page recommends a shaker, a jigger, a glass or a bottle, the link may be an affiliate link. We disclose this above the first such link on the page, not only here and not only in the footer, because a disclosure you have to go looking for is not a disclosure.
This is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines, and we think it is just basic manners.
Recommendations are not for sale. We do not accept payment to include a product, rank it higher, or describe it more warmly. If a cheap tool is the right tool, we say so.
We will tell you when not to buy something. Several of our equipment pages have a “what to skip” section, because most of a home bar’s gadget aisle is unnecessary.
Prices and availability change. We note when a price was last checked. If it looks wrong, it probably is — check the retailer.
At the time of writing, this site is not yet running affiliate links or display advertising. This policy is published in advance so that it is in place before any commercial relationship exists, rather than added afterwards.
