It’s the Write Time

Being a full-time spirits writer is barely a job that exists anymore, so if you’re gonna be one you gotta stay sharp. Multi-award-winning author Emma Janzen takes a break from all the irons she has in the fire to talk about collaborating with drinks luminaries on her host of cocktail books, her creative process, and how what she wants to report from the world’s barstools has changed over the years. She also digs into a recent article of hers about how ICE raids are affecting the restaurant industry, and what some organizers are doing to fight back. PLUS, what do you call a bar that’s not quite a legacy bar, but isn’t new enough to have a halo of buzz around it? And does being a well-regarded spot with a decade or so behind you put you in a perilous spot? As the owner of one such place, Sother weighs in.
