About Forbidden Altar

The full About page is still being written—a proper first-person account of who’s keeping this site, why exotic cocktails specifically, the mug collection, the terminology stance, and the drinks I keep coming back to.

While that gets drafted, here’s where the related context lives:

• The Path—how the site is structured as a progression from Newcomer to High Priest, and what each rank is actually asking of you.
• The History—the four-act story of the genre (Founding, Golden Age, Decline, Revival) that everything else here builds on.
• Chris’ Picks—the cocktails, bars, books, music, and gear I personally vouch for. Not the encyclopedic catalog; the short list of what I actually reach for.
• Contact—corrections, additions, primary sources I missed. The site gets more accurate when people who know more chime in.

More soon.—Chris
