This program was sponsored by Fairway Market. “My new favorite beer bar is called Proletariat Bar on St Marks between 1st and Ave A. Death & Company is still my favorite place for cocktails”, “I think the reason gin is so popular right now is because it’s so different. You’ve got junpiery harsh intense gins, and on the other side aromatic beautiful soft feminine ones. That means you can you can do many different things.” “When you’re building a cocktail, my general rule is a 2:1:1 ratio. 2 parts alcohol, 1 part sweetening agent and 1 part citrus or acid.” –Krissy Harris, co-owner of The Wren on In the DrinkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
