Three readers love this post.
This week on the Bartender Journey Podcast, we celebrate Repeal Day!
As you may know, here in the States, Dec 5, 1931 was the end of Prohibition. Bartenders across the US now celebrate this unofficial holiday, on Dec 5.
It's a great day to be a Bartender (or to be anyone who enjoys cocktails)!

I spent Repeal Day wondering around NYC – talking to interesting people and drinking great cocktails. There was no shortage of events to attend!
I started by talking with Kara Newman - an author and influencer in the cocktail scene. We met at Swift Hiberian Lounge in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Kara and I have run into each other a few times, but most recently when she was a was a judge at the Diplomatico Rum World Tournament where I competed. . Kara's 3rd cocktail book is Shake. Stir. Sip.: More than 50 Effortless Cocktails Made in Equal Parts celebrating equal part drinks. Reminder - Next week is our BarCraft Live! event on Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 3pm Eastern time. Join us for our online cocktail party in conjunction Bartender Journey Listerner and fellow Bartender/Podcaster Stefan Giesbert. He does the German language Cocktail Podcast. We have a tasting menu of 5 classic cocktails that we are gong to be making and we’d love to have you join us live via video stream! |
