Ada Coleman was head bartender at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London in the early 20th century.

In this fascinating deep dive with Aaron Goldfarb (@aarongoldfarb), author of Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits, some of the topics we discuss include: What constitutes a “dusty” or vintage bottle and some of the historical forces that created the trend of hunting for them, especially in the Bourbon world. Some tentative answers to the question, “Did it really Use to Taste Better?,” featuring oak tree rings, barrel entry proof, and cedar fermentation tanks. How dusty hunters use label cues like importers, tax stamps, DSP numbers, and Julian dating to determine the true age and origin of the bottles they encounter. A romp through some of the packaging gimmicks that dominated the Bourbon world in the second half of the 20th century. And a look at today's secondary market for spirits with respect to how it started and where it might be headed. Along the way, we consider the historical impact of Howard Hughes' liquor collection, salute the unwavering faith and confidence of bourbon distillers, get Aaron into bed with a sultry bottle of pre-phylloxera Cognac, and much, much more. Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits will drop in about a month, so be sure to pre-order your copy if you've got some time on your hands and think you could uncover the next outrageously valuable bottle hiding in a storage unit or estate sale.

Appleton Reserve, Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, Jasper’s Secret Mix, and 2 rum punches (Jasper’s Jamaican Planter’s Punch and Jasper’s Rum Punch).

Initially we all figured that this cocktail history would be a slam dunk. It has a name of a person...it's named after someone. It has to be easy to find out. We couldn't have been more wrong. This drink was a complete mystery. Jay could not find any references to it anywhere prior to our source book from 2009. So we couldn't find the source...and from there we couldn't identify the origin of the name. Looking at the name Barbara West itself, we searched for Barbara Wests of note. There is a Barbara West Titanic survivor. There also is a book with the title of Barbara West. None of these helped to shed light on the origins of the cocktail. This in and of itself is amazing. How does this drink fail to have any sort of background? How did our source book, Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails know about this cocktail to be able to list it? We would welcome anybody with some hard sources to share to end this mystery. The ingredients for this drink are: 2 oz – gin 1 oz – sherry 1/2 oz – lemon juice 1 dash – Angostura bitters We all decided that the cocktail was rather ordinary. Quite a bit of lemon with a hit from the sherry, but otherwise like many drinks we've already tried. We spent most of our time at the Brixton this episode discussing names and all of the ins and outs of naming people and pets. I would say one of the key themes we kept returning to throughout the episode is how names, books, movies, etc. that we think are amazing and perfect now may not resonate with culture in the future, so much so that the connotative meaning of an idea or story is completely lost much later. A theory was put forth that such might have been the fate of Barbara West. Is it possible that a cultural sensation got a drink named after it, but then quickly went away and was forgotten completely? Will anybody know or care about Harry Potter in 100 years? or Star Wars? Will 9/11 earn a footnote in the 21st century's historical record? It's hard to know what people will care about in the future.

When we did this episode originally we focused on the Hemingway Daiquiri. In our book "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails" there is a La Floridita Daiquiri, which apparently was also served at Hemingway's favorite hangout in Cuba, but then we needed to look into the origin of daiquiris in general. Basically a daiquiri is rum, sugar and lime juice and lots of cracked ice. Once again, here is a recipe that is not amazing in itself...it seems kind of obvious especially in Cuba, but it does have a definite origin that we were able to trace back at least circumstantially. It doesn't appear in many cocktail books and the ones that did feature it were later in the era, but we think it traveled to the U.S. just after the Spanish-American War. One of the characters in the story is Jennings Cox, a mining engineer and manager for Bethlehem Steel in the mining town of Daiquiri, Cuba. He arrived in 1897 for mines owned by William Astor Chandler of New York. Both men spent large amounts of time in Cuba and made frequent forays back home to New York and Jay discovered a news article from 1914 that described the bartender at the Hotel Astor was serving daiquiris. The challenge we had in accepting this story outright is that no Cuban cocktail books feature this drink until 1915, which is strange that it appears potentially in 1902 in the U.S. but isn't put in print in Cuba until 15 years later. We think the daiquiri was a popular drink in Cuba long before Cox and Chandler were there and it was slowly making its way to the U.S.; Cox and Chandler sped up its arrival and made it a popular cocktail in New York as they were seen ordering it. We aren't sure of this version, but based on the dates and publications and what we've seen with other cocktails this is our guess. The La Florida was Ernest Hemingway's favorite bar in Cuba and it features the La Floridita Daiquiri. Hemingway's version of that daiquiri was a double...less sugar, more rum. The popular story of Hemingway's love for his daiquiris tells of him drinking a dozen in one night. The rest of the show goes into much more depth of Hemingway's life and his time in Cuba where he worked secretly for the U.S. government hunting German submarines in the Caribbean. Here is the recipe for the La Floridita Daiquiri: 2 oz rum juice of 1/2 of a lime 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of maraschino By and large the Black Liver team all considered the daiquiri a fruity, fancy drink being more familiar with garish pink strawberry daiquiris our parents drank in the 80s. But the actual daiquiri does seem like a Cuban original...a cocktail that just makes sense for that island. We had the drinks made at Ward 8 in Evanston near Chicago and they were really damned good. Putting simple ingredients together in this case really make something bigger than the sum of its ingredients. We thought each daiquiri brought something, but generally we preferred the basic, lime daiquiri. Nicole even has learned to appreciate rum through this cocktail. I love it when we can open doors for people.
