I’m a big fan of booze. It’s delicious. I’ll try just about anything once. Dale DeGroff has taken bartending to an art form and beyond. I was first exposed to him on The Rachel Maddow Show about a month and a half ago. Rachel, too, is a big cocktail fan and has him on regularly. I so much enjoyed thumbing through DeGroff’s book The Essential Cocktail that I convinced Marc to join me in giving it to Tinz, also a big fan of mixology, for his birthday. This book is full of classic and modern recipes with all sorts of fun facts and bits of history behind each drink.
With Summer approaching, cool and refreshing drinks are a must. Dale recently appeared on Rachel’s show this past Friday to show her, her friend Kent Jones, and her viewers how to make an amazing Mint Julep and his version, the “Whiskey Smash”. Fast Forward to about 1:57 into the video and ENJOY!
