Maxwell is an old friend who came to prominence with the drinks program he curated at Brooklyn's amazing Maison Premiere, winning James Beard awards, World's 50 Best Bars listing, and Tales of the Cocktail awards, to name but a few. (It is also, and to this day, a magnificent place for dinner or a cocktail). He's also co-authored a cocktail book and created one of the first modern-era cocktail recipe apps. Maxwell recently finished working on a great project - more below - plus we'll take any opportunity for a chat and a drink here at the Philip Duff Show, so we got together in Brooklyn at the Ace Hotel. Maxwell's always been drawn to music and movies as well as mixology, and he's just helped produce "BAR" a documentary about the Beverage Alcohol Resource five-day residential spirits education course, originally created by a murderer's row of American liquor- and cocktail luminaries including F. Paul Pacult, Dave Wondrich, Doug Frost and Dale de Groff, to name but a few. The documentary, from KTF Films, follows several of the students preparing studying and being tested at what is one of the world's toughest spirits coursesThe trailer is out now, and the documentary premiere at Cinequest Film Festival in March, hopefully followed by a tour that includes Bar Convent Brooklyn, Aspen Food & Wine and Tales of the Cocktail as well as the Tribeca Film Festival and others.

Dave Wondrich is an acclaimed spirits writer and historian - Imbibe is a cocktail classic about mixology in the US - but his journalism career actually kicked off with music. As a bassist, he played in NYC's rock clubs and cabarets at the height of the city's edgiest musical era (late 70s early 80s) before heading to LA to try and get signed with his band, A Blind Dog Stares. That didn't happen, but he did educate his bandmates about scotch along the way. Listen to his tour stories, his path to becoming a leading authority on the bar scene then and now, and some of his music!

Thanks to my guest stars Arianna Hone and Marshall Minaya.Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, Cocktail Apprentice Program (CAP), Spirited Awards Marshall mentioned Normindia gin, which employs CalvadosI discussed a wonderful session on clarifying milk featuring Garreth Howells We discussed the increased wellness push at Tales involving Seedlip, Arianna's Espresso Martini courtesy of Lyre's, and Livener by Three Spirit.

A quick up-and-down motion while pouring, creates an air bubble that causes a short gap in the stream, allowing one to reposition over another glass and not spill on the counter or interrupt your pour. This helped Arianna pour more seamlessly when moving fast in the Speed Rack competition. This is a public episode.

He's the author of "The Art of American Whiskey" and "The Business of Spirits." And he hosts the podcast, "Life Behind Bars" with the esteemed Dave Wondrich. Today we discuss the evolution of drinking culture in New York and beyond, life as a journalist in food & beverage, and so much more. I hope you enjoy the show.
Like it or not, the holidays are upon us. It's a time when our drinks become browner and richer. This milk punch is a nice compromise if you're not an egg nog fan. The milk brings a richness to the warmth of the spirits, and the nutmeg adds the aroma that always puts me in a good mood. As a big fan of Charles Dickens, Punches intrigue me. So reading through the Punch iOS app and samplng Dave Wondrich's book has put me in a mind to do a future series on punches. Perhaps as a spirit-raiser in the new year. 1 1/4 ounce brandy or bourbon 1/2 ounce dark rum 2 ounces of whole milk or half-and-half 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 ounce simple syrup Add all components to a shaker with ice, and shake vigorously. Strain into a rocks glass and garnish with nutmeg to taste.

The daisy is a class of cocktails related to fizzes and sours that supports many different base spirits. In this version, we're using rhum agricole, which is made from sugar cane juice rather than from molasses as is the case for a common rum. Since rhum agricole comes from Martinique and other former French colonies, we're calling this cocktail the Daisy de Martinique. You should be able to find rhum agricole in most well-appointed liquor stores. If you can't find it, you can really use any spirit you like: branch, whiskey, gin, etc. If you use tequila, this comes very close to being a margarita. 2 ounces rhum agricole 1 ounce fresh lemon juice 1/2 ounce grenadine 1/4 ounce simple syrup club soda or other carbonated water Place rhum, lemon juice, grenadine, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with the carbonated water. Garnish with a lemon twist.

After a brief hiatus from the tiki series, I'm back with the promised zombie. There is so much rum in this, I can't imagine having more than two. One is probably enough. You have been warned. This is an amalgam of a couple different recipes I liked. Since there's so much ice in this, the float will give you a pop of flavor when you get to the bottom of the drink, where it's most watered down. Also, feel free to swap the fruit juices for others you may like. 1 1/2 ounce white rum 1 1/2 ounce gold rum 1 ounce demerara (or black strap) rum 3/4 ounce grapefruit juice 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice 3/4 ounce pineapple juice 1/2 ounce falernum 1 dash Angostura bitters 1/2 teaspoon absinth, Pernod, Herbsaint 1 teaspoon grenadine 1/2 ounce 151-proof rum for float Put all the components except the 151 rum in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until chilled through an well mixed. Pour into a tiki mug or collins glass packed three-quarters with crushed ice. Add more crushed ice. Top with the 151 rum float by pouring it carefully over the top of the cocktail. Add a straw, and garnish with a fancy tiki stirrer, a cherry, some mint, and an umbrella. You can even light the 151 on fire, if you're feeling frisky.
