Five ways in
Our bottle in a recipe
Your spirit, liqueur, bitters or mixer named as the bottle we reach for in a classic it suits, with a line on why and a link to you. One brand per recipe.

City guide sponsor
One "presented by" line across a whole city guide. Suits a spirits brand, a hotel or a tourism board. One sponsor per city.
A spot in a gift guide
Your bar tool, glassware, book or kit added to one of our gift guides, written up the way we write up everything else.
A dedicated review
A full write-up of your product for people who make drinks at home: what it is, how we used it, who it suits and who it does not.
Our standards
How we keep it honest
Paid is always labelled
Every paid spot says so on the page, and paid links carry the sponsored attribute search engines ask for. Readers can always tell what was bought.
We write it
The words stay ours, in the same voice as the rest of the site, including who it is not for.
Must Visit is earned
The Must Visit badge cannot be bought. Featured partner is the paid one, and it says what it is.
Adults only
Barback is written for people of legal drinking age, and asks before it lets anyone in. We promote drinking better, never drinking more.
