Fashion Icon Nigel Barker Launches an Espresso Martini

from Kitchen Chat® – Margaret McSweeney · host Margaret McSweeney

Step onto the runway of flavor and fashion in this special episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History and Hospitality. Host Margaret McSweeney joins world-renowned fashion photographer and TV personality Nigel Barker at a Chicago philanthropic fashion show benefiting WINGS Program Inc. Discover how Nigel turned his creative eye from couture to cocktails, crafting what's been called "the most fashionable cocktail in the world." It's a conversation where glamour meets giving—and style is served in a glass. https://www.instagram.com/nigelbarker/?hl=en  Margaret was especially delighted to meet Nigel as both she and his wife grew up in Alabama. Almost two years in the making, this meticulously crafted beverage is designed to be an unprecedented and elevated experience. Nigel reveals the passion and precision required to develop what is being called the "Most Fashionable cocktail" in the world—and the #2 most popular cocktail ordered today. This conversation is a perfect blend of worlds: the Luxury of high fashion and premium spirits, the History behind a carefully built brand, and the profound Hospitality of giving back to the community. Tune in to hear how a master of the visual arts applied his discerning eye to create a taste sensation. Join us for a conversation where glamour meets giving, and style is served in a glass. Remember, every episode of Kitchen Chat can now be heard on all podcast platforms and NOW heard on The Great British Tea Party on Facebook. Speaking of tea, I think the next product that Nigel and The Barker Company should launch is a Matcha Martini! Savor the Day and Savor the Sip! (Please remember to drink responsibly and only if age 21 or over).
