Alex and Jordan learn a ton from Carlie on this episode and we know you will too. Cheers! What’s the first cocktail you remember really enjoying? I don’t remember the first drink I really enjoyed. It could be anything. I do remember the first time I enjoyed a martini. That was life changing. Your first good martini is a game changer. It was an overwhelming experience for me What do you like to make most at home? I make very simple cocktails at home. Depends on whether I brought some one home or not though. If I’m entertaining, I’ll break out a proper old fashioned, boulevardia/ or a funky little sherry sour. My home bar is outstanding but if I’m alone and about to go out ive been known to drink a proper rum and Mexican coke or sip on a tequila or whisky What would you suggest reading or watching to a new home bartender? What skills should they pick up? Flavor Bible. Start from the beginning. Start from the basics. Learn what tastes good together. What’s your favorite/least favorite cocktail(s)? Honestly, none… if someone wants me to make them a vodka & soda, I’m going to make them the best vodka soda possible What cocktail trend(s) do you love/hate? I like the classics / low-spirit cocktails I hate crazy infusions… If you have one (or a few), what would say is your ‘signature drink’? I make a negroni variation everywhere I go… I use a lot of sherry, amoros & digestives n my cocktails Can you share with us one of your favorite toasts? “I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I’m under the table, after four I’m under my host.” – Dorothy Parker Where to connect with Carlie Steiner: Twitter: @StirDC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stirbartendingDC Instagram: @StirDC The post Episode #024 – Interview with Carlie Steiner appeared first on Speaking Easy.
