Core summary
The article extends infinity-bottle logic from whiskey to cocktails that are consumed only in part and then replenished with fresh ingredients. Examples include evolving Negroni- and Martini-like mixtures. The practice offers convenience and complexity but gives up formula stability: one off-profile addition can distort the vessel for several subsequent cycles, and owners may correct by adding counterbalancing ingredients rather than restarting.
Author argument
Perpetual replenishment is a creative, low-friction form of blending whose value lies in evolution and surprise, not repeatable sensory control.
Evidence map
Origins in whiskey infinity bottles; partial-consumption/replenishment method; examples of evolving cocktails; consequences of a destabilizing addition; correction over later cycles.
Critical assessment
Lifestyle reporting with anecdotal examples, focused on cocktails rather than whiskey. It should inform failure-mode discussion, not technical whiskey-blending claims.
Retrieval and synthesis
Use as a counterexample that clarifies why fixed-recipe bench blending needs batch boundaries, measured additions, retained controls, and an explicit stop rule.
Publication-stage controls
Open questions
None blocking. Any time-sensitive legal, historical-priority, product-availability, or producer-superlative claim must be rechecked at drafting.
