Episode 139: Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Distilling and Cocktails from the World’s Hippest Borough

Hear from the authors of Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Distilling and Cocktails from the Worlds Hippest Borough on a brand new episode of The Speakeasy. In the popular tradition of farm-to-table cookbooks, Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Distilling and Cocktails from the Worlds Hippest Borough, is the first distillery-to-glass cocktail book. Organized into chapters focused on these distilleries, each chapter will take an in-depth look at the distillerys story and the spirits they offer, and will present half-a-dozen cocktail recipes. Within these chapters, there will be sub-sections on several varying topics: a look at the bars and restaurants serving the Brooklyn-produced spirits; highlights on the work of local mixologists; and subsections on the history of distilling in Brooklyn. This program was brought to you by Michters. One of the reasons its easy to promote a book like this is were promoting really cool work other people are doing. Im hoping we did a good job capturing it. [06:00]\ This is a yearbook in a sense. Its capturing whats happening right now. [14:00] --Peter Thomas Fonatale on The Speakeasy
