Fionna Gemzon moved around a lot as a child. While St. Louis was where she (mostly) grew up, she traveled to cities like San Francisco and Omaha often enough to search for non-locational ways to establish a sense of home and belonging. Thats where food came in. Born in the Philippines and then living in predominantly white neighborhoods, Gemzon found that ingredients similar to those from her homeland provided a deeper sense of community.

Bartender Tyler Ledbetter created this cocktail with the intent of marrying the rich flavors of the Espresso Martini with the spirit-forward profile of a classic Old Fashioned. He selected Cantera Negra Cafe liqueur for its ability to complement, rather than overpower, the Brothers Bond Bourbon that serves as the base. The liqueur’s natural agave sweetness, with hints of vanilla and coffee, pairs beautifully with the bourbons caramel smoothness and subtle smokiness.

On top of hours of ingredient prep, mixing cocktails, counting tips, and closing tabs, bartendending requires countless verbal interactions every day. And one customer request that comes up more than others is for a drink thats not too sweet. In all fairness, the trauma that comes with getting burned by an overly sweet drink can be long-lasting. Perhaps a dive bar Marg with an egregious dollop of store-bought sweet-and-sour mix resulted in the headache of a lifetime.

Unless youre an industry insider, you may not be familiar with the term batched cocktails. Its a trick used in busy bars to cut down on the time it takes to serve classic cocktails or some of their more complex drinks. Bartenders mix the cocktail in volume before service begins and store it in a single bottle. It then allows them to pour right into the glass, serving up sophisticated drinks in the blink of an eye.
