What's shakin, cocktail fans? Welcome to the official 100th episode of The Modern Bar Cart Podcast! That's right - 100 episodes. A HUGE milestone, to be sure! We are so incredibly grateful for all the great guests we've had on over the past two years, and I want to be the first to tell you that we're just getting started. Now that we're officially in the triple digits, we thought it might be nice for us to take a little step back and look out at the "State of the Union," so to speak, for spirits and cocktails. A lot of things can happen in two years, and I think it's really valuable to take that reflection time to look at what's happened and where things are headed.
