Ben Schaffer on my "Pop-up" in 1999 called Blackbird in NYC xitter.gq/RumReader/status/12881…
For an action-packed nine months in 1999, bartender supreme Dale DeGroff was a partner and proprietor of a bar of his own, the groundbreaking yet unremembered Blackbird. It's time to tell the story. @kingcocktl @AudreySaunders #barhistory #cocktailhistory buff.ly/3hEeEJE

✨Imagine your dream job- being given the opportunity to work at a place where every single day felt like Christmas. That’s what it was like to work for @kingcocktl in 1999- at the best bar in NYC that you’ve probably never heard of. Read on:

Looking at these drinks from @KoreroPress's TROPICAL COCKTAILS might make you which it was still summer... take a look. 🏖️🍸 @RumReader rumreader.com/tikis-minor-st…

How did Luxardo cherries make their way into American cocktails? It began with a somewhat suspicious glance from the checkout clerk at Dean & DeLuca- who thought I had a serious binge issue after bringing 14 jars of Luxardo cherries up to the register! 😂🇮🇹❤️🇺🇸🍹

Please pitch in and help Jonny Ver Planck... he was the head distiller at Three Roll Estate and a judge at this year's Miami Rum Festival. He is a wonderful guy... gofundme.com/f/1rfeq0ffio?ut…

With all due respect to Mr Asher, @nypl's take on how to seek employment sounds waaaaaaaaaay more fun.

Come with me on a journey of humorous mistranslations, vague implications, and general mystification!
Delving once more into the rum literature, @jameslucas investigates a tome in the bibliographies of all those that have come since: Rum, Yesterday and Today. It's a bit perplexing what he finds. Illustration by @SayadaRamdial #rum #rumreader #bookreview buff.ly/2FWlWcC

Earlier today a fire occurred at our distillery home in St. Lucy, Barbados. We're happy to announce that there were no injuries and the fire was extinguished. All's well and the rum's swell.

Here’s a nice piece on the Embury of our time, @DrinkBoy - who also taught the world to mix drinks one video at a time. Merci @frmonti havana-club.com/en-ww/bar-ne…

Folks often ask how I train bartenders. What I don't do is simply teach them recipes. What I do do is teach them how to think about drinks. Take a read here for my thought process. Thanks @RumReader for recognizing the importance of the discussion & big congrats on your launch!
