Some things stay with you.

We lived in New Zealand for a while. That’s where I learned this, from Māori people who have been doing it this way for generations. Efficient. Clean. Traditional.

Ended up behind a bar at and the coconut didn’t stand a chance.

Bartending takes from everywhere. The best techniques usually came from somewhere else first.

Big Mama’s Sweet Potato Pie.

This one started in a kitchen, not behind a bar. My grandmother Martha’s sweet potato pie, the one that ended every family gathering, the one nobody ever had the recipe for, turned into a cocktail.

45ml Bar Hill Gin
30ml Sweet Potato Syrup
15ml Montenegro Amaro
25ml Lemon Juice
1 Egg White

Bar Hill brings a raw honey note that sits underneath everything without announcing itself. Montenegro adds the bitter backbone the sweetness needs. The sweet potato syrup is housemade, Martha’s recipe, adjusted for a jigger instead of a pie dish.

Some drinks are just drinks. This one is a memory.

I still remember this as clear as a springtime morning.

Guest: may I have a dirty Manhattan?
Me: you mean a dirty martini?!
G: no no a dirty Manhattan... you know bourbon and sweet vermouth but dirty.
Me: (afraid to ask) How dirty?!
G: oh... (with villainous eyes and intent) very dirty.
And olives on the side.
Me: (realizing this person fears nothing and considers nothing holy) absolutely (clearly nervously sweating).

What is your story of an order that had you wondering if this was your correct career choice.

Happy GINSDAY... A day for deep diving in to a bottle that finds a home behind wells.

TODAY:
DISSENT GIN
FROM
IN Washington DC

A nother hit from our friendly neighborhood distillery located in NE DC.
Of course the socio-political theme will always be central .
In this case, the Inspiration came from RBG.
This nonconforming spirit is inspired by RBG's proud history of dissenting opinions and the rich aromas and flavors of her hometown. It brings together ingredients not often found in a gin: pepper, allspice, bay leaf, ginger, lemon, mandarin orange and hickory smoke.
Think of it as taking a Pastrami on rye and turning it to a clear liquid,that's the best way to put it
It's savory, briny, salty and very fragrant, with a backend hint of refreshing citrus.
Botanicals: pepper, allspice, bay leaf, ginger, lemon, mandarin orange, hickory smoke.
But of course in choosing this path you choose your companions. This gin. Is definitely out there on its own, and in doing such it created its own place of belonging. It has a very stern niche that might not be for everyone, if you like it you love it.

Suggested in a Dirty martini (no matter how dirty) or sip it needs while enjoying a pastrami on Rye Sammy.

Cheers!!! Enjoy.
