To know where we are going, we must first understand what we were drinking.

Arthur is the team's resident scholar. You're more likely to find him in a library than a nightclub, poring over dusty cocktail manuals from the 1800s. He delights in debunking common myths about drink origins and reviving recipes that have been lost to time.

His contributions add a layer of depth to the Hero Cocktails blog, providing the 'why' and 'when' behind the 'how'. Arthur believes that understanding the history of a cocktail enhances the drinking experience, connecting us to the past with every sip. He specializes in punches, flips, and the evolution of the definition of a 'cocktail' itself.
