Behind Bars in Colombia


Listen Later

It’s been a wild ride for Vincent Pollard so far. As many bartenders out there, he started in the business with no real knowledge of the craft cocktail scene. But working in Canada for some of the best bars in the country put the hooks in him. He’s since been full speed ahead. His most recent project has taken him to Colombia to work on launching a new gin brand, Selva Gin – the first of its kind. In addition to all this globetrotting, shaking cocktails, and experimentation, he’s also a writer.

There have been a deluge of cocktail books as of late, perhaps most poignantly demonstrated by Chad Austin’s new Everyone Has A F*cking Cocktail Book. But few of these cocktail authors have any real writing experience. And that’s one aspect that really sets Vincent’s new book apart. In his book, Behind Bars, he delves into the world of fictional characters and their drinks. But not just any fictional characters, the ones that we love to hate. Or hate to love… the gangsters, the mobsters, and the lowlifes. It’s a truly unique book from a truly unique bartender. Listen in and learn to drink like Gal Dove.
