Bartender Journey - Cocktails. Spirits. Bartending Culture. Libations For Your Ears.

We have two guests on the Bartender Journey podcast  # 144: o   Steve Reddicliffe, editor of The Essential New York Times Book of Cocktails o   Raza Zaidi - Wahaka Mezcal.  (We also talked about Mezcal with Misty Kolkofen in show #134) ·      Cocktail of the Week Cucumber, Salt & Smoke by Linden Pride o   One 1-inch cucumber slice, chopped o   1 oz Wahaka Mezcal Joven Espadin o   1 oz Kappa Pisco o   1 oz fresh lemon juice o   1 oz simple syrup o   Pinch of salt
 
 o   1 large egg white, slightly beaten o    3 drops of Peychaud’s bitters, for garnish o   In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber. Add the Kappa Pisco, Wahaka Mezcal, lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white and salt and shake well. Add ice and shake again. Fine-strain into a chilled wineglass or coupe. Dot the drink with the Peychaud’s bitters and swirl decoratively. ·      This is a wonderful drink when served up.  I actually made it on the rocks because I received some extremely cool cocktail stirrer tops from Drynk
