On this episode of What We’re Drinking, Dan welcomes back an old friend and true titan of the tipple: James Beard Award-winning bartender Charles Joly. If you’ve ever watched the Oscars or the Emmys and wondered who’s responsible for keeping Hollywood’s elite well-lubricated, look no further—Charles has been crafting cocktails for the stars on the industry’s biggest nights for years. Beyond red carpets and gold statues, Charles is also the visionary behind Crafthouse Cocktails, one of the first premium ready-to-drink brands to prove that convenience and quality can happily co-exist in a bottle. Dan and Charles dive into the evolution of the modern cocktail renaissance, the delicate art of making drinks under pressure (while paparazzi lurk nearby), and where the adult beverage world is headed next.

Plus, Dan serves up a scorching take on the latest "green" gimmick to hit your feed: the Matcha Martini. Spoiler alert—he’s not a fan. Cheers to great drinks, great stories, and great company.
