The Cookbook That Became Every Bartender’s Trusted Companion

VinePair

At a recent symposium on sustainability, the moderator queried a panel of bartenders about their favorite bartending books. I’ve heard the question posed many times through the years, but one bartender’s unequivocal response that day reminded me how often the answer is the same. Shockingly, the book isn’t about cocktails or bartending techniques at all.

Why Tiramisu Never Goes Out of Style

Imbibe Magazine

Ubiquity can beget creativity. Consider the cocoa-dusted slices of tiramisu that are all but guaranteed to be in the dessert case of your nearest Italian-accented restaurant. Those old-fashioned iterations inspire cooks and bartenders to reinterpret the recipe with globetrotting ingredients and untraditional formats. In the last two years, I’ve sipped a Tiramisu Martini at a Nashville cocktail bar (see recipe below), spooned up a version dotted with local strawberries in a farmhouse in Burgundy,

Inside Manska’s Mind: Sensory Science Changes Spirits’ Appreciation—What have you been missing?

Chilled Magazine

The common tulip glass shape has been around since the late 1700s as the “dock” trade verification glass for sherries and ports. Popularity increased in the 1800-1900s as a result of Great Britain’s worldwide sherry and port trade. Tulips are characterized by a rim diameter smaller than the maximum bowl diameter. The convenience of the tiny, single-serving sherry/wine tulip glass, readily available in every drinking household, inspired its adoption for scotch whisky, and it’s usage spread to inc

We Asked 12 Bartenders: What’s the Most Underrated Cask-Strength Bourbon?

VinePair

Over the past handful of years, one of the biggest trends in bourbon has been the proliferation of high-proof , cask-strength whiskey releases. Before they’re packaged, whiskeys are usually diluted with water to bring them down to an easier-to-drink proof. Cask-strength whiskeys, however, are sold at their full strength.
