Our guest this week is Sother Teague - a greatly admired veteran barman, teacher, and cocktail expert. He is the Beverage Director at New York bitters and amaro haven Amor y Amargo, Wine Enthusiast's Mixologist of the Year in 2017, co-host of the 'Speakeasy' podcast on Heritage Radio Network...and he's just added published author to his long list of accomplishments. His book I'm Just Here For the Drinks: A Guide to Spirits, Drinking and More Than 100 Extraordinary Cocktails is coming in hot this week. We talked about how this book came to be, his circuitous road from the being a chef to getting behind the stick, and ultimately knocking it out of the park at every turn.

This week's featured cocktail recipe is a Negroni variation from Sother's new book:
