From its Italian origins in the 19th century—when supposedly the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would purportedly dilute the wines of the Veneto region with a splash (or spritz in German) of soda water—to the modern ubiquity of the Aperol Spritz, the loosely defined cocktail has proved its staying power. The spritz benefits from being as easy to make as it is to drink, with the name itself conjuring onomatopoeic refreshment and visions of leisurely days in sunny locales.

When people asked Kristen what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would always say a bartender. Even before being old enough to enter a bar, Kristen enjoyed mixing drinks for family gatherings and despite lacking prior bartending experience, Kristen quickly adapted to the role when she turned twenty-one and got her first gig. Bartending allowed her to be creative and prompt her to take certification courses to enhance her knowledge of spirits.

The Madhya Pradesh government is revitalising its heritage liquor initiative by enlisting private firms to promote the state’s unique alcoholic beverages. This initiative follows previous attempts to market the liquor, which fell short of generating significant consumer interest. Heritage liquor, crafted from Mahua flowers by tribal self-help groups (SHGs) in the Alirajpur and Dindori districts, was first introduced by the former state government under Shivraj Singh Chouhan in 2021-22.

We may be living through the age of the aperitivo and unendingly mad for Martinis , but if we’re really being honest, the cocktail we’re reaching for just as often — if not more — is the workaday Moscow Mule. This bright concoction of ginger beer, vodka, lime and soda in its distinctive copper vessel might not garner the media love of its posher, pre-Prohibition counterparts — except perhaps that time word got out that it’s Oprah Winfrey’s favorite cocktail.

Hard to believe it’s been 7 vintages since we’ve covered Mt. Brave’s flagship cabernet. This year’s blend is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec, not a big twist on prior years which ensure that Cab remains fully in the spotlight. The bold wine benefits from having such a lengthy aging regimen — we’re five years out from harvest now — and it has settled down appropriately in the bottle as a result.

Follow her at @rach_bartlett We’ve all had a guest decline a drink recommendation, because they’re ‘not a whisky drinker.’ The style of drink doesn’t tend to matter; merely having the word ‘whisky’ in a cocktail description is often enough for some customers to baulk at a drink suggestion, step back, hands raised, as if warding off an angry hippo.
