Eduard Viader grabs a bottle from a riddling rack, pulls off the metal brace that secured the cork, and with his index finger covering the closure to keep it from flying off, uses his clawlike wrench to ease the cork out of the bottle. As soon as the bubbles rise into the neck, he yanks off the cork, and a cap of dead yeast cells shoots out. He spins the bottle to tamp down the fizz and turns it upright.

Originally hailing from the Moluccas archipelago (aka “The Spice Islands”) in eastern Indonesia, pandan has been a staple ingredient of Southeast Asian cuisines for centuries. More recently, pandan has contributed its flavor and deep verdant color to pastries and dishes across Instagram. Herbaceous, nutty, and underscored with a fragrance of vanilla, pandan naturally lends itself to a host of cocktail applications, and its slender, blade-like leaves add dramatic flair as a cocktail garnish.

If there’s one guiding law IPA devotees are taught at the beginning of their craft beer journey, it’s to drink their hazies fresh. For many, checking the canned-on dates on the bottom of IPAs is standard practice, and some are quick to pass up an otherwise automatic purchase if it’s more than a few weeks old. But one thing these breweries haven’t defined is what “fresh” really means.

But there’s also the simple truth that Champagne is generally a lot of fun. Pop a bottle of bubbles and watch the vibe change. Suddenly, it’s a party, and everyone wants to raise a glass.

The road of the American craft whiskey movement was paved by craft beer. The spirit of craft beer and whiskey are similar, but in their respective infancies, they were not exactly equal. Craft beer was a response to a rather bland and homogenous beer industry. Craft beer needed to exist because “big beer” was uninspiring. Craft whiskey was born of the desire to drink local and innovate, but “big whiskey” was far from bland or uninspiring.
