Libations w/a Twist

This week we're making a sweet & sour Daiquiri; sitting down with "Bre Bre" Williams to talk about what it's like being in the integral role of support staff, handling a tight reservation system, and carefully maneuvering one-on-one guest confrontations. Bre is the new bar manager at Bespoke in beautiful downtown Wilmington and a service experience expert. We cannot wait to delve into the history of our weekly libation, hailing from Cuba at the end of the 19th century, and hearing a strong female perspective. Let's go ahead and dive in! 

In this episode of Libations w/a Twist Podcast, we take a more solemn tone to bring you a drink that has caught our eye and then shed light on a current event that has given the world a gigantic turn...

Amy Stewart, a New York Times bestselling author and writer behind The Drunken Botanist: The plants that create the world's great drinks, gives us a fresh take on a homemade Bloody Mary. The Blushing Mary is an appropriate title as we shake up vodka with muddled herbs, Worcestershire sauce and more! 

In our second segment, Gabriela Miranda reports on the crisis across the globe in Kabul, Afghanistan. "13 Beers, An Empty Table" conveys the solidarity industry workers have shown for the  men & women in the service. This Tuesday we keep it short & sweet while we lay out our own 13 libations.
