There are very few countries that have as a variety of
drinking traditions as the United States. While many like to think
that the U.S. is a homogeneous culture from coast to coast, they
are overlooking the fact that the country is filled with little
pockets that each has a distinctive way of imbibing their favorite
tipple. Whether it is the near ubiquity of the Brandy Old-Fashioned
in Wisconsin or the Picon Punch in Nevada, this week’s guest has
travelled across the U.S. to document and record the country’s most
unique drinking habits. So tune in as we sit down with Brian
Bartels, the author of United States of Cocktails, and talk about
the most interesting traditions that he has discovered on his
travels.
Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro,
interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the
