Our Story
About us
In the summer of 2019 Worthington’s (home) Bar’s story began, the custom-made home bar was delivered to Heerjansdam from Biervliet, and Worthington’s Home Bar was born! Soon the shelves were filled with liqueurs, bar syrups, and cocktail tools. A beer tap was purchased and we created a DIY hanging rack for the glasses. Finally, we mounted a TV because it is a must to watch sports in the bar.
At the end of May 2022, we posted the first photo and cocktail recipe on our Instagram page @WorthingtonsBar: the Tom Collins. Less than a month later we received an Instagram message from Bols USA asking if we could recreate one of our videos in a different glass so they could post the video on their own Instagram! Of course we did and this video has since been viewed more than 7,000 times in total!
Our online reach and worldwide views keep growing every day, so we figured it was time for our own website. This website is a journey through our cocktail apprenticeship. Starting with the very first drink we ever tasted, Grandpa’s Cola Tic. Which is really just a mixer and not a cocktail. But that doesn’t make it any less delicious!
The journey continued to Cuba, where we had our first taste of our parents’ Mojitos. A few years later we were in our own home bar making this Mojito ourselves! Also, the Tom Collins, Gin & Tonic, Lilet Wildberry, Espresso Martini, and The Blue Hawaii are now regular cocktails at Worthington’s Home Bar.
The journey takes a step further to the culinary Versace On The Floor cocktail by Chef Scott Conant in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. This cocktail requires a lot of preparation but it’s absolutely worth it! We don’t just write cocktail recipes. We often make mocktails (for our grandma), and tap a few beers, Grandpa prefers a glass of his special apple juice (apple whiskey) and of course, we also drink wine.
Of course, we also want to take a moment to thank some people for making the bar, this website, and the empty glasses possible.
We would like to thank Edward for purchasing the bar. Despite much resistance from our mother, he managed to convince her (read: buy a bar without saying so) and place a bar in the house.
Finally, we would like to thank guests for emptying their glasses. We take this as a sign that the drink tasted very good!
Have fun making and drinking these cocktails!
Enjoy!
