I Drank Every Cocktail (via) Adam Aaronson drank his way through all 102 cocktails on the IBA cocktails list - published by the International Bartenders Association since 1961, with the most recent update in 2024.
Adam's write up is delightful, incorporating pedantry, data nerdery, a trip to the Internet Archive, some excellent bar recommendations in New York and London and hints at elicit rum smuggling to help make the final cocktail, the IBA Tiki, using two different Havana Club rums that are illegal in the USA thanks to import restrictions.
