    Becoming a Whiskey Scholar w Colin Blake | Bartender at Large ep 522 VIDEO Oct 26, 2026
    Show notes

    American whiskey is one of the most popular spirits behind any bar. Yet many of us couldn't explain what really happens inside the barrel, or why Kentucky's limestone water matters so much. This week we're joined by Colin Blake, Vice President of Peggy Knowles Stevens & Associates. He spent two years building the American Whiskey Scholars certification with industry experts Peggy Stevens and Susan Riegler. Colin walks us through the program's 10 online modules, which run from flavor components to barrel aging. He also explains chill filtration, GCMS analysis and the three types of chemical reactions that happen as whiskey ages in oak. Plus, he tells us how he went from film and photography to running a distilling school. So tune in this week as Colin shares why the American whiskey industry is one of the most collaborative in all of spirits. Learn More: https://americanwhiskeyscholar.com

    How to Actually Market Your Bar on Social Media with Rain Garcia | Bartender at Large ep 521 VIDEO Oct 19, 2026
    Show notes

    These days more and more guests skip Google and Yelp when they're picking a bar. They search Instagram and TikTok instead. So how does a bar without a big marketing budget get found? This week we're joined by Rain Garcia, founder of Garcia Media Works. Rain explains how she uses a SWAT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) to find what makes a bar worth posting about. She also talks about why viral views in the wrong city are just a vanity metric, and how to use keywords, carousels, Instagram's trial reels and pop culture moments to get more people through the door. So tune in this week as Rain shares how bars can turn followers into regulars, no matter the budget. Get your Free Samples of Perfect Puree: https://perfectpuree.com/bal

    Goto's Bartender's Guide w Kenta Goto & Noah Rothbaum | Bartender at Large ep 520 Oct 15, 2026
    Show notes

    This week we're joined by Kenta Goto of New York's Bar Goto and James Beard Award-winning spirits writer Noah Rothbaum to talk about their new book, The Goto Bartender's Guide: A Philosophy of Cocktails, Hospitality, and How to Make Great Drinks Every Time. Kenta shares why he waited until Bar Goto turned 10 to finally put his methods on paper. The two also dig into one of the most overlooked ingredients in any cocktail, water, and how matching your stirs and shakes to a spirit's proof can transform a drink. Along the way, Kenta explains his philosophy of intentional bartending and omotenashi, the Japanese approach to hospitality that has made his bar a destination for drinkers around the world.

    Life Outside the Bar w Lex Cerino | Bartender at Large ep 519 Oct 06, 2026
    Show notes

    This week we are joined by bartender, spirits specialist and consultant Lex, who opens up about the hardest chapter of her life. For four years she worked 14-hour bar shifts while raising the little sister she adopted when she was just 26. She also fought for custody in family court on her own, often walking into the courthouse straight from a closing shift with no sleep. So tune in as she shares how she kept smiling for guests through all of it, and how the coworkers who stepped up carried her when she couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. She also explains why everyone deserves a little grace, on both sides of the bar. ____________________________________

    Storytelling Through Cocktails w Kapri Robinson & Princess Johnson of Allegory | Bartender at Large ep 517 Sep 28, 2026
    Show notes

    This week we head to Washington, DC to pull up a stool with Kapri Robinson and Princess Johnson of Allegory, one of the most inventive bars in the country and a fixture on the North America's 50 Best Bars list. They take us behind the scenes of their famously ambitious concept menus, including their current book-length tribute to Ruby Bridges, complete with hand-built dioramas made from thrifted toys. Along the way, they break down the one-to-two-year R&D process behind every menu, how they keep egos out of the creative room, and what's next for Allegory, from new formats to "Club Allegory" dance nights.

    Chief Mixologist and Spirits Educator for Total Wine: Molly Horn | Bartender at Large ep 516 Sep 21, 2026
    Show notes

    Walk into any Total Wine & More these days and there's a good chance a bartender has had a hand in what you're seeing on the shelves. This week we're joined by Molly Horn, Chief Mixologist and Spirits Educator at Total Wine & More, who traded restaurant bartending for a role teaching both store staff and shoppers how to drink better at home. We dig into how bar trends take a few years to trickle down to home bartenders, how TikTok can send a drink like the Dubai chocolate martini viral overnight, why rum and mezcal are having a moment in certain markets, and how canned cocktails are turning curious shoppers into home bartenders. Plus, Molly shares why putting a bartender on the sales floor might be the best move a bottle shop can make. Get your free samples: https:perfectpuree.com/bal ____________________________________
