Bottle Episode

This week we’re raising our glasses to a true classic, the Old Fashioned, sometimes referred to as the Original Cocktail. Joining us is Zach Beekan who bartended with Lan at Old Glory and is now on tour with his band Reckless Road. Tune in for Old Fashioned riffs, shots that taste like McDonalds ice cream cones, and how being on stage is a lot like bartending! 

Old Fashioned 

4 dashes of Angostura Bitters

.25 oz Demerara Syrup

Surprise!! New co-host! Elise Nye, Lan's wife and also her own well-rounded, fully realized person, joins us as our certified Cocktail Enthusiast/Greek Chorus.

He's lent his talents to the NoMad in NYC, the Fox Bar and Cocktail Club, Skull's Rainbow Room, and Nightscape in Nashville, TN. There's no better person to talk Daiquiris with than this kind, brilliant soul. It's all about balance, baybeeee!

Let's talk Martinis. And who better to talk Martinis with than Matt Korzelius, Bar Manager and Assistant General Manager of the Roosevelt Room! In this episode, we get into the nitty gritty: what is a Martini, what isn't a Martini, when should you shake, when should you stir, and what glass you probably shouldn't use for your Martinis. We get into all sorts of stuff, giving out advice that is solicited... and not so solicited. Overall a real hoot.

Matt's Favorite Martini

2oz Dry Gin

.5oz Cocchi Americano

.5oz Dolin Dry Vermouth

2 Dash Orange Bitters

Stir for about 15-20 seconds and strain into the cocktail glass of your choosing. Garnish with a lemon twist.
