The Libation
So, you’ve decided to indulge in a libation—a fancy word for “a drink” that makes you sound like you’re about to do something far more interesting than just sipping on a beverage.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or someone who still giggles when they say “libation,” this article that includes a home demo will help you navigate the delightful world of enjoying a drink.
Select what to drink
First things first, choose your drink. Will it be a glass of wine, a frosty beer, or perhaps a cocktail with a name you can’t pronounce?
If you’re at home, the world is your oyster—just make sure you’re not accidentally mixing gin with grape juice. No one wants to repeat that mistake. Well, you don’t have to because we have a home demo to share with you. Once you get to the end of this article, click our YouTube Home video where we provide you with a step-by-step Apple Cider Margarita Cocktail.
When the season is Autumn, Sip on a Spiked Apple Cider Cocktail.
Setting the Scene
You could drink anywhere, but why not make it special? Dim the lights, light a candle, and pretend you’re at a five-star restaurant instead of sitting on your couch in sweatpants. I hope you know by doing this should remind you of a newfound sophistication which is enjoying the Autumn season with a twist to drinking Apple Cider.
The First Sip
Now, for the main event—the first sip. This is where you channel your inner sommelier. Swirl the drink in your glass (even if it’s a beer, no one’s judging), take a whiff like you’re trying to identify the scent of a rare flower, and then… sip.
Feel free to nod approvingly, even if you have no idea what you’re nodding about. Just pretend you’re discovering “notes of oak” or “hints of apples” instead of just the unmistakable taste of alcohol.
Pace Yourself, Darling
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of your fancy drink, but remember, the goal is to enjoy it, not to forget you had it. Sip slowly. Imagine you’re in a movie scene where the protagonist is contemplating life’s mysteries, not chugging a cold one after mowing the lawn. And if you find yourself on the fast track to drinking more than one cocktail, tipsy town, and relax while binge watching on your favorite show.

Food for Thought….enjoying a libation is an art form—one that combines taste, atmosphere, and a touch of pretension. So next time you pour yourself a drink through one of our home demos, follow these steps and remember: it’s not about what you’re drinking, it’s about how hilariously sophisticated you make it look. Cheers!
