The 1990s Cocktail Renaissance // Dale DeGroff, Milk & Honey, and the Craft Cocktail Revival

from Decades Distilled // A History of Whisky · host Kurt Maitland and Sarah Jeltema

Send a textCocktails in the 1990's were messy. Neon cocktails. Sour mix. Vodka everything. Appletinis in up glasses pretending to be martinis. But then, that chaos gave birth to the modern craft cocktail movement.This week, join Kurt and Sarah as they dive into the quiet moment when bartenders quietly started caring again. Fresh citrus came back. Forgotten recipes resurfaced. Rye whiskey clawed its way into relevance. And was bars like Rainbow Room to Milk & Honey that help change the way we experience going out for a drink.This is the story of how we learned to drink again. Pour something classic. Or something fresh. And join us.
