Hi, so I am not Lucille.
My name is Alex. The Lucille Club is a labor of love, aided by many delicious drinks. I love making and enjoying cocktails at home. Cocktail making is so fun, but also intimidating for a lot of people. ‘I have to buy so many different bottles and tools, argh no thanks.’
Enters The Lucille Club. I want to bring cocktail explorers like you together, and make enjoying homemade cocktails easy for you. This is a place for exploring the cocktail world and for fun mixing experiments with curious minded people.
At The Lucille Club, you’ll find out how to turn the only 3 bottles you have at home into dozens of kick-ass drinks that’ll impress your most snobbish drinker friend. Oh you’ll also definitely meet some not-snobbish friends here.
I love cocktails and am constantly fascinated by how many different expressions, knowledge, and stories a tiny glass of liquid can contain. Join me to geek out about cocktail! I promise you this is a different kind of fun you’ll have from drinking in cocktail bars (which I also love to do).
But seriously, Lucille Who?
Hint: Wink.
For the Arrested Development fans, if you didn’t get it, time to re-watch the show. If you’ve never watched it, go make yourself a cold, crisp Martini and watch Lucille Bluth being a sassy mean Vodka queen. Obviously I don’t want us turning into her, but the wonderful late Jessica Walter has made me physically unable sipping a Martini without winking at my dinner party.
What does The Lucille Club offer?
Once we go live, you can expect:
Party Time at least once a month, there will be themes (I love a themed party!), and games and teleportation might be involved.
Bi-weekly newsletter with practical tips, fun facts, recipes to get you started enjoying cocktails at home.
Not Crappy Bar Cart challenge, where I’ll create personalized home cocktail menu for you.
Those are just the initial projects! I have so many more that I want to bring to you, but as a one woman band, one thing at a time. ;) If you’ve got ideas, I’d love to hear from you too! Let’s chat.
Essentially, this is where you can
have a laugh when your concoction tastes worse than airplane coffee, and celebrate any wins with too many gifs and emojis.
get practical tips and learn techniques that’ll help anything you make taste even better.
find out what kind of booze and drinks you like, and more importantly, what you dislike or should avoid at all cost.
learn interesting stories, history, and trivia about booze, bartenders, and cocktails.
ask questions, big or small. Even if I don’t have the answer, I’ll hunt it down for you.
