In this episode of Across the Bar, brought to you by the Foodable WebTV Network, host Paul Barron sits with Markus Yao, the Head Bartender at Boston's Gastropub Shojo and discusses the inspiration for the unique seasonal bar menu. One of the popular beverages, the "Cold Tea" mimics the look of a cup of traditional hot tea but is chilled to perfection with Oolong Tea Infused Vodka, Peach de Vigne, and lemon. The bar also gets creative with the Yakuza Old Fashioned, a twist on the classic with Japanese Whisky.

Watch the full episode to see how the bar incorporates specialty ice and an asian flare to their craft cocktails.
