The Carajillo

The Buildout ·

2023/10/12

Coffee-based digestif cocktail but make it two-ingredient and simple to serve: it is, of course, the Carajillo. Literally, all you need for this one is freshly pulled espresso, Licor 43, decent ice, and a good shaking arm. Here to explain how to bring all of that together is Tito Pin Perez, creative director of Mexico City's Rayo cocktail bar.

It’s been described as “the first and best cocktail of the 21st century to push the boundaries of classic tiki,” and also, simply, “A hell of a good drink.” It’s The Winchester (and the Double Barrel Winchester) and we’re diving into it with creator and returning friend of the show, Brian Miller.

The Batanga

The Buildout ·

2023/09/28

The Batanga, or charro negro as it’s more commonly known across Mexico, is a simple combination of tequila, lime and coke. Despite the simplicity of its composition, that doesn’t mean we can’t do the deep dive on the drink we typically do here at Cocktail College. This is a beverage with rich national significance, that requires careful consideration of ingredients and preparation, and ultimately says something about drinking culture. Here to connect all of those dots is Clayton Szczech, a

The Warday's

The Buildout ·

2023/09/21

The genre of split-base classic cocktails is a lot thinner than you might imagine. And, honestly, it’s questionable whether today’s drink, The Warday’s, can even be considered a classic, such is its relative anonymity. But it is past time you get to know this 1930s gin and apple brandy mashup. Here to explore it with us is Eryn Reece, a New York-based bartender, qualified spirits expert and judge, Speed Rack National Champion, and Tales of the Cocktail Dame Hall of Fame Inductee.

It's Mr. David Wondrich. It's the Martini. And this ain't no riff or re-run. Instead, we're revisiting this most iconic of classics at Cocktail College, and we're doing so with one of the biggest names in the business. For decades, Wondrich has been at the forefront of chronicling and uncovering cocktail history. He is a James Beard Award-winning author, the editor-in-chief of the Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails, the resident Spirits & Cocktails historian and advisor at Flaviar, and

What Ever Happened to the ‘Beer Cocktail Boom’?

The Buildout ·

2023/09/07

Take yourself back, listener, to the early 2010s. Craft beer has reached a crescendo. The cocktail movement has fully established itself. And so, for the better part of a decade, “beer cocktails” were being dangled as a dazzling new hybrid form of mixed drinks that might take on. That was the idea, at least. But then…well, it never really took off. What went wrong for this new frontier of hybrid drinks? And why have we never covered beer as a bonafide ingredient, fitting of this show? Here to shed

Episode 100 Special: (Re)Defining the Cocktail

The Buildout ·

2023/08/31

"A stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters." Over 200 years since their publication in a New York state newspaper, those 13 words continue to stand as the very definition of the cocktail. They ring true when dissecting everything from an Old Fashioned to a Martini, Manhattan, Sazerac, or Pisco Sour. But do they capture the full essence of 21st-century cocktails or is this iconic definition due a modern-day re-examination? We're joined today by Greg Boehm, CEO

Techniques: Bitters

The Buildout ·

2023/08/17

Angostura. Peychaud's. Orange. Chances are, that might be the extent to which your cocktail bitters experience extends, and if that is the case, you're missing a trick. Because as today's guest explains, bitters are an essential cocktail seasoning and a requirement in every drink. That guest is Sother Teague, beverage director at New York's Amor y Amargo and Overthrow Hospitality; host of "The Speakeasy" podcast; and author of “I’m Just Here for the Drinks.” And today's show is an ode to this

The Alaska

2023/08/10

We’ve covered multiple cocktails named after cities and neighborhoods before but this week marks the first drink named after a state — and it’s a classic. Trey Sanford, bar manager of Anchorage’s South Restaurant + Coffeehouse, joins us to break down the Alaska, an iconic mix of gin, yellow Chartreuse (if you can get your hands on it), and orange bitters.

Reinventing the Ramos Gin Fizz

The Buildout ·

2023/08/03

Most of what’s notable about the Ramos Gin Fizz comes before you take a sip — namely, its striking appearance, which arrives as the product of a painstaking, 10-minute preparation time. But what if there was a way to eliminate the muscle-straining extended shake and, as a consequence, put the Ramos on a permanent cocktail menu? At The Gem, in Bolton Landing, N.Y., Richie Boccato and team have done just that. Better yet, they’ve managed to do so without fancy equipment or molecular techniques. Listen

The Godfather

The Buildout ·

2023/07/27

While Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” continue to enjoy critical acclaim more than 50 years after its release, the same can’t be said for its namesake cocktail. But just because the disco-era mix of Amaretto and Scotch was traditionally cloying and unbalanced, doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy of a 21st-century upgrade. Joining us to teach us how to do so is John Ware, bar director of New York City’s Forsythia. Leave the gun, take the cannoli, and listen on (or read below) to

The Army & Navy

It's the Army & Navy, folks, an orgeat-sweetened gin sour (sans egg white) that seems to be perenially there, hiding in plain sight — camouflaged, if you will. Joining us to talk through this relatively anonymous classic is Ben Brown, beverage director of New York's Porchlight.

Not just an evocative name, the Missionary's Downfall blends pineapple, rum, mint, peach brandy, and lime, and fits into that category of cocktails we first devour with our eyes. Beyond its stunning appearance lies a fascinating back story, complete with characters like Don the Beachcomber and tales of smuggling mint seeds into Hawaii.Walking us through all of that and more is the Italian-born rum enthusiast and exotic drinks connoisseur, Daniele Dalla Pola.

Airport Bartending

Strange things happen when people enter airports. Manners fly out the window, along with all concept of time and space, and anything seemingly goes on the drinking front. But what about the fine folks serving up endless Bloody Marys and Martinis? What's it like running a high-end bar program in a space that all other areas of the industry seem to forget — from distributors and brand reps to award-giving organizations?

Techniques: Stirring

The Buildout ·

2023/06/22

One of the two foundational techniques for mixing drinks, stirring is employed for such classics as the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and — James Bond be damned — Martini. Read any stirred cocktail recipe and you'll encounter notes like "stir until chilled" or "stir for 15 seconds." But as any seasoned pro will attest, there's so much more to mastering this technique than that.

The Vodka Soda

Is the Vodka Soda a bonafide cocktail? Is it the reason that vodka continues to rank as one of the best-selling spirits in the U.S., and the main factor behind the overwhelming success of brands such as Tito's? And can you create a flavorsome, interesting version of this drink while staying true to the essence of a classic Vodka Soda?

The Rob Roy (re-run)

2023/06/01

We're heading back into the Cocktail College archive today as we dispel a myth — occasionally purported on this show — that there aren't that many classic Scotch cocktails. Purists will know that certainly isn't the case, and one need only turn to The Rob Roy for evidence. Adam Montgomerie, a Scottish native and bar manager at Hawksmoor New York, once again takes us on today's whisky, sweet vermouth, and bitters deep dive.
