A Journey to Cocktail Enlightenment Two Thirsty Guys Discover Atlanta's Best Drinks
"What were we seeking? Was it an incredible cocktail or an incredible experience? Was one possible without the other?”
"We're evolving from our primitive beginnings of making and enjoying flavored martinis. Our search for unusual cocktails thus far has broadened our knowledge and expanded our appreciation of finely crafted cocktails. Right here, we seem to have hit the true mother lode…”
"A long sequence of unique samplings and events had us thinking in innovative ways and discovering something that never would have entered our minds before…”
"We not only held our own against professional bartenders, but beat out over half of our competitors. Our ability to accurately judge a cocktail has been substantiated.”
Two friends and bon vivants who enjoy “liquid refreshments” take a journey in search of the best cocktails they can find in and around the Atlanta area. Their travels take them from neighborhood bars to well-known establishments. In the process, they encounter colorful characters, discover delicious recipes, and develop an appreciation for what makes a great cocktail. Their journey also leads them to something greater.

About the Author
John W. Raibikis was born and raised in Connecticut. He will continually remind you of that. He currently lives at Lake Lanier with his wife of 37 years. Interests include drinking (of course), living the good life while retired (naps and reading), traveling the world, and eating desserts. He is affectionately known as "Dr. Death" by his close friends, due to his STRONG drinks. Mike Ferron was born in Appleton, Wisconsin and moved to Atlanta in 1973 after graduating from college. He currently lives in Cumming, Georgia with his wife of 23 years. Interests include mixology, cooking, collecting and programming music, and gardening (tomatoes and hot peppers are his specialty). He appreciates a bartender who pours an "honest drink," and he is working on improving his own bartending skills and creations. Two aficionados of fine food, quality-crafted cocktails, and leisurely lifestyles, Mike and John often spend their weekends testing and developing drink recipes for family and friends.
