- Vodka tends to be a very misunderstood spirit in the modern craft cocktail movement. In the past, we have done episodes on every spirit you can imagine from scotch to tequila from pisco to baijiu, so we decided that it was finally time to finally get deep with vodka. To help guide us on our journey we were joined by Keli'i Heen of PAU Maui Vodka. Join us every.
- In this week’s episode we retrace the career trajectory of Sullivan Doh, Global Brand Ambassador of D'Usse Cognac. During his career in the world of spirits and hospitality, he has worn many hats, including but not limited to, shaking drinks as a bartender, owning an award-winning Paris bar, and now educating the world on the Cognac category.
As some of you guys might have heard, my team at Polite Provisions & I are going to be headed to Lost Lake in Chicago for a two day takeover the weekend of March 10th & 11th. Since the theme is going to be Kentucky meets Tiki. I decided to feature one of my favorite original recipes. This one is a tropical bourbon cocktail that I came up with for one of the early menus at Boilermaker, my bar in NYC. Due to its simplicity, it took off around the city and even ended up on the menu at Dear Irving, which was an honor, as it is one of my favorite bars in the city. The inspiration came from the fact that you don't see American whiskey in enough modern tiki drinks, which is strange when you consider that the flavors in Bourbon & Rye lend themselves quite well to traditional tropical spices. So, this was just my way of taking something old, and making it feel new again.
