He helped me hone drinks for this newsletter, which mostly meant listening to me mutter about ratios and flavor profiles. He wasn’t much of a talker, but he probably knew a lot about Cynar and syrups and Negroni specs. More than most dogs, anyway. One of Blake’s favorite commands was: “Go to the bar.” When he heard these words, he’d rush to the basement door, bolt down the

Review: Bark & Barware Cocktail Smoker

Drinkhacker

Judging from the number of glass cloches I see on the backs of bars these days, smoked cocktails are still a thing, and consumers now have plenty of options for making these unique libations at home. New to the scene is Bark & Barware, a kit that includes a gunlike torch, smoking vessel that sits directly atop a cocktail glass (with lid and an extra basket), and chips from six different kinds of wood.

Jungle Bird Cocktail: A tiki delight from 1970’s Malaysia

Australian Bartender

You hear the words Jungle Bird, and you’re probably thinking it was a Don the Beachcomber drink from California circa the 1950s. But this one actually hails from the Aviary Bar, at the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur in 1978.
