Not long ago, we nearly lost rye whiskey. For decades, the historic whiskey was barely made in the United States, and most drinkers and bartenders had never tasted it. Just when it seemed that rye might disappear for good, a small miracle occurred. Thanks to a grassroots effort, Rittenhouse Rye became available for sale in New York and helped kick off the whisky's dramatic and improbable comeback as well as the modern cocktail revolution. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the rebirth of rye and are joined by Heaven Hill's West Coast Whiskey Educator & Ambassador Jack Choate as well as legendary bartender Audrey Saunders.

On March 3, 1897, the United States Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond Act, which irrevocably changed the future of American whiskey. The legislation established a designation that brands could use to differentiate their spirits from those that were basically knockoffs—neutral grain spirit flavored and colored with a range of deleterious ingredients. It also established rigorous production standards for distillers, who still must follow these regulations when making bottled-in-bond bourbon. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the history of the Bottled-in-Bond Act and why it's still relevant today over glasses of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. They're joined by two bottled-in-bond experts: Heaven Hill Distillery's master distiller, Conor O'Driscoll, and national brand ambassador, Bernie Lubbers. Together, they discuss the distillery's decades-long commitment to producing bottled-in-bond whiskies and how this 7-year-old bourbon is leading that tradition into the future.

For years, a number of British and American gin brands have touted so-called navy strength gin, which is a robust 57 percent alcohol by volume. As legend has it, the Royal Navy demanded that the gin be bottled at a very high proof so if it ever spilled on the ship's supply of black powder, the powder would still light. There's just one major problem: There is no record of the Royal Navy ever officially giving gin to its sailors. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum try to get to the bottom of this myth and discuss what types of liquor the Royal Navy actually did purchase for its sailors. They also talk about why you might still want to drink navy strength despite its invented past. So mix yourself a gin cocktail and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers!

There's only one thing that cocktail drinkers love more than having a drink: talking about the bartending scenes in rival cities and towns. Inspired by an opinionated 1902 newspaper story about the quality of cocktails across the country, on this episode of Fix Me a Drink, award-winning hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum discuss the state of regional drinks in the U.S. today and what they'd love to see in the future. The drink of the episode is one of their old favorites, a classic New York Sour. Mix up a drink and listen now. Cheers! New York Sour Contributed by David Wondrich INGREDIENTS 2 oz Straight rye whiskey .5 oz Lemon juice .25 oz Orange juice 1 heaping tsp Sugar .5 oz Dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Cabernet Glass: Cocktail, chilled DIRECTIONS In a shaker, stir the sugar into the lemon and orange juices. Add the rye and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Carefully float the wine over the top. The best way to do this is to put the wine in a smaller container–a small bottle or cruet and pour it slowly over a bar spoon held just above the surface of the drink to break the wine's fall. Distribute the wine by gently spinning the glass around its vertical axis–just grasp the stem and twist it–again, gently–while the base of the glass rests on the bar top. Fix Me a Drink is hosted by Flaviar's resident liquor experts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich. On each episode, the award-winning duo enjoys a delicious drink while uncovering lost liquor history, exploring modern cocktail culture and interviewing an incredible array of spirited guests.

There is seemingly no detail too small for big-budget movies to get right–except bartending, that is. While lots of films depict bartenders at work, few of them get the details correct. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, award-winning hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum discuss the history of bartending on film while enjoying classic Moscow Mules–a drink that was actually created in Los Angeles. They are joined by expert bartenders and raconteurs Jeffrey Morgenthaler, who runs the bar Pacific Standard in Portland, Oregon, and Eric Alperin from the famed L.A. bar the Varnish. Cheers! The Moscow Mule Contributed by David Wondrich INGREDIENTS 2 oz Vodka Juice of half a lime Ginger beer Glass: Tall glass or copper mug Garnish: Lime half DIRECTIONS Squeeze the lime half into a tall glass or copper mug. Add the vodka, fill with ice and top with ginger beer. Garnish the drink with the spent lime half. Fix Me a Drink is hosted by Flaviar's resident liquor experts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich.
