The Boston cocktail scene has suffered some serious blows over the past few years. Brother Cleve, the musician, DJ, and mixologist who was regarded as the godfather of the Boston cocktail revival, died suddenly in September 2022. In January of this year, Drink, a pioneering local bar, shuttered for good. For a long while, it looked like Eastern Standard—the stylish and influential high-volume bar and restaurant near Fenway Park that opened in 2005—might also be among those casualties.

Nobody’s quite sure why Pedro Ximénez grapes, or the fortified wine made from them, bear a name more apt for a human. (Several largely debunked theories involve the grape being brought to Spain by either a soldier named Pedro Ximen or a Catholic cardinal named Ximénez, or that the grape was possibly named for the Spanish village of Jiménez.) But one thing is absolutely true about the Pedro Ximénez style of sherry (typically shortened to PX): The wine anchors the dark, indulgent end of the sherry

Before bourbon, rye whiskey was America’s first native spirit. Prohibition permanently disrupted rye production, and many of the distilleries that produced it never reopened. But with the rediscovery of classic, rye-based drinks during the early-aughts cocktail renaissance, bartenders fell back in love with the bold, spicy style of whiskey — and with that, rye’s comeback began.

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,

It’s no secret — bartenders love rye whiskey. And we’re not just talking about rye shots, picklebacks , and laybacks, either. Its mix of spicy, chocolaty, and herbal aromas and flavors along with its natural punchiness makes rye a uniquely stiff backbone able to support all kinds of cocktail ingredients. From tried-and-true classic tipples like the Sazerac and the Vieux Carré , to modern favorites, it’s clear that rye cocktails just work.

One of life’s simplest pleasures is heading out to a bar on a crisp fall Saturday to enjoy a cold beer on draft. The air has a pleasant chill to it, perhaps there’s some college football on the TV, and friends and loved ones abound.

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

Every professional bartender has a few bottles they don’t like. In most cases, the level of disdain never goes much further than some level of “meh.” It’s not that the liquid is objectively bad; it is just not for them. But there’s usually one bottle that functions as something of a nemesis, and seeing it on a trusted establishment’s back bar or a good friend’s bar cart is enough to burrow under their skin — and heaven help the well-meaning soul who presents it as a gift.

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. When producers deem them ready, they remove the bourbon from the barrel and bottle it without dilution, preserving the intensity of the whiskey.
