This episode is an interview with Aviva Goldfarb, who is an extremely accomplished cookbook author and meal planning guru who also happens to be a really talented and inspired home bartender. One of my favorite things about talking with Aviva is the passion she has for flavor--her voice and facial expressions just light up when she talks about the joy of food and drink.

In this wide-ranging discussion, we cover a number of cocktail-related topics, including:

• Homemade infused spirits and syrups
• Aviva's go-to cocktail accent flavors
• Creating a family-friendly cocktail culture
• The key to fun, but effective recipe development
• And much, much more.

Aviva is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cocktails and home entertainment, so I hope you'll take some time to visit the show notes and check out her latest recipes and projects.
