Dorothy Elizabeth is a student at heart with a scientific background - she graduated from The University of Michigan with a Chemical Engineering degree and kick-started her career as a mixologist in Ann Arbor. After working at multiple craft cocktail bars in Ann Arbor and Detroit, she made the move to New York City in 2018 where she helped open and oversee pop-ups and programs at Mace, Henry at the Life Hotel, Straylight, L’Avenue at Saks Fifth Avenue and Lyaness. Dorothy chats with host Danielle Berg about how she incorporates scientific practices behind the bar, what it’s like being a female in an industry that’s predominantly white male dominated, moving to New York and finding her cocktail community here and what the future holds for bars in New York City and across the country. How will bars restructure their business plans? Are to-go cocktails here to stay for the indefinite future? How will bars and restaurants revise their sanitation methods, and will they require temperature checks, masks and gloves for the foreseeable future?
