the inspiration: When inspiring creativity, I look for what isn't there, the "duh" moment you feel when you see something for the first time. This includes finding the dusty bottle at the liquor store. A tip for the hometender would be to seek out tastings. Not everyone should have a 100-plus home collection of spirits. As for me, I differentiate myself with my bad sense of humor. My bad jokes help to highlight how good the drinks are.
