How does a cocktail menu affect the layout of a bar? How does the floorplan inform your martini spec? These are questions that Matthew Maddy and Milos Zica, the Desinger and Beverage Manager of Williamsburg's Bar Susanne have been puzzling out. They sit down to talk about designing a bar program almost from scratch, how you build a vibe and feel to a place, their love of raw bars, martinis and seafood towers, and how exactly one becomes a bar designer in the first place.PLUS, the robot bartenders are here and Greg is… unimpressed. Hear about the latest “tech” from Minneapolis/St. Paul airport as we kick off the Summer of Sherry!

Join the team in this episode as we dive into Zoe Thorogood's compelling graphic novel 'The Impending Blindness of Billy Scott,' delving into themes of art, resilience, and self-discovery through the journey of a young artist facing impending blindness.  By far, one of our most compelling and interesting reads, and with special guest - the OG, Snoop Lynch. As always, we carry ourselves through the episode with our favorite book-worthy spirits, and we discuss some additional bits and pieces here and there, including AI, games, and our usual randomness. So, sit back, grab your drink, relax, and enjoy our little, drunk, ranked, chaotic book club. Remember, subscribers (and voters for any of the active battles) are auto-enrolled in our new monthly raffle, where you can win studio merch, books, comics, games, and more.

“One of the biggest misconceptions is that The World's 50 Best Bars is based more on popularity than on experience. In reality, at its core, it's very much an experience-driven list. It's important to understand that guest shifts and pop-ups are not eligible for voting. We always say you should deliver the best possible experience to every guest who walks through your door. Try to see the award as a by-product of that hard work, rather than the end goal itself,” says Emma Sleight, Head of Content and Creative at the prestigious The World's 50 Best Bars ranking.Líbí se Vám tento díl?

The Scottish Highlands are many things, but “tropical” isn't usually listed as one of them. However, Stewart Walker, distillery manager of Fettercairn Whisky talks about how they've found a way to get passionfruit, pineapple, and other notes more commonly associated with tiki cocktails into their Scotch. Stewart talks with Greg and Sother about Fettercairn's long history in the highlands, their storied past as makers of blended scotch before they delved into single malts, the unique cooling ring technique that gives them their tropical house style and their advanced age statements, including a 40 year-old scotch whisky that your hosts are lucky enough to try.PLUS, French citizens consumed more beer than wine recently for the first time in recorded history. Greg and Sother break down what that means and if it has anything to do with the recent resurgence of pregaming in the United States.Follow Fettercairn on Instagram at @fettercairnwhiskyLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Da quando Mixology Experience è entrata all'interno del sistema TuttoFood, la manifestazione è diventata la sezione dedicata agli spirits dentro una fiera molto più ampia e la sua identità è ancora in fase di definizione. L'assenza dei grandi marchi internazionali era evidente, ma proprio questo ha lasciato spazio a piccole e medie realtà indipendenti meno note.Tra gli stand che più mi hanno colpito c'è stato quello di Baldo Baldinini Spirits, progetto nato dall'incontro tra profumeria artistica e distillazione contemporanea. Un laboratorio creativo dove botaniche rare, memoria olfattiva e mixology si intrecciano in modo quasi artigianale.Ad accompagnarmi dentro questo universo è stato Ronnie Lucchini, socio storico del progetto, che mi ha raccontato la nascita dell'olfattorio di Saiano, il rapporto con chef stellati, il gin allo zafferano iraniano e persino il curioso progetto Panettonic sviluppato insieme a Iginio Massari.

L'Asia della mixology non guarda soltanto a Londra, New York o Singapore. Sta costruendo il proprio vocabolario. E lo fa con lime locali, zuccheri scuri, erbe aromatiche, spezie e fame di riconoscimento globale.Lo dico per esperienza diretta: sono andata in India per la Delhi Cocktail Week e la Golden Peacock Cup, presentata come la “India's first international cocktail competition”. E proprio in occasione della gara internazionale ho conosciuto Maran Nadeson, tesoriere della Mixology Alliance of Malaysia, a Gurgaon nei panni di giudice oltre che di responsabile della delegazione di bartender malesi. La sua idea è chiara: il talento non basta. Gli ingredienti non bastano. Nemmeno una buona storia, da sola, basta. Serve una struttura. Serve una comunità. Serve un sistema.

What makes a good sommelier? Encyclopedic knowledge of the wine world? The ability to sell anything to anyone? Or something more empathetic and human? If anyone knows it's Claire Paparazzo, Wine Director for Sunday Hospitality Group and the Hotel Chelsea. Drawing on her knowledge from such iconic places as Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Claire chats with Greg about the challenge of running four properties under one roof, the art of making wine approachable, and why the fad for natural wine and orange wine probably springs from somewhere deep and sick and wonderful in our collective psyche.

Tao Zrafi claims he “broke cocktail menus forever” with his small bar in Illinois that boasts a menu of over 2,500 drinks. And yet it's far from the wildest idea the Drink Masters star has ever produced. He sits down with Greg and Sother to discuss building replicable formulas that can produce literally thousands of drinks, his venture into entrepreneurship by creating acid powders that can replace citrus juice, are shelf stable, and can be shipped anywhere in the world, and how growing up in Tunisia and cutting his teeth behind the bars of Montreal shaped a truly unique view on the world of cocktails.PLUS, BrewDog is for sale! Greg catches us up on the latest from the embattled microbrewery. And it snowed in New York, again and the city's id was on full display… for better and for worse.Follow Tao at @travelingbartendersFollow No School Tomorrow at @noschooltomorrow.barLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with ICE agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceSupport the Salt Cure Fund at thesaltcurefund.orgThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Hello Friends! It's been a long time coming, but here it is - the Mixology look at The Velvet Underground & Nico, one of the most influential discs of all time, and one of my most requested LPs to cover. I wasn't sure what to expect when going into this album. For such a rough and ready production, stereo didn't feel like it would make sense, but after spending time picking apart both the mono and stereo mixes, and comparing them intently, both really do offer up something unique. Is one better than the other? It's hard to decide. So don't Run Run Run to All Tomorrow's Parties, I'll Be Your Mirror and guide you through all the mono and stereo differences, as well as an alternate mix and single edit of All Tomorrow's Parties! Happy Listening, Frederick Patreon  Email  Instagram - @hypnoticfred

On Thursday, January 15, Westhampton Beach residents, business owners, elected officials and others gathered at Fauna in the village for the latest edition of the Express Sessions series “Local Matters,” providing those in attendance with a chance to discuss and debate the most pressing issues facing the community. The afternoon conversation ranged from new regulations that will require beachfront communities like Westhampton Beach to start paying a portion of federal beach replenishment costs, to the continued vacancy of prominent storefronts, and challenges related to the sewer district expansion, parking and more. Several options and ideas were explored, with input not only from those living and working in the immediate village area, but also from stakeholders in surrounding villages like Quogue and West Hampton Dunes. The panel included Westhampton Beach Village Mayor Ralph Urban and Deputy Mayor Kimberly Monsour; West Hampton Dunes Village Mayor Irwin Krasnow; Quogue Village Mayor Robert Treuhold; Jennifer Sperber, owner of Mixology and a member of the Westhampton Beach Chamber of Commerce; Larry Jones, a preservation consultant and trustee of the Westhampton Beach History Museum; and Aram Terchunian, a coastal geologist and president of First Coastal Consulting.
