On this week’s The #NOLADrinks Show – link in bio – we chat with Dale DeGroff (at left) and Julie Reiner (at right). Among other things, we discuss the recent Tales of the Cocktail “Toast to HerStory” cocktail competition put on by Marie Brizard. Dale and Julie were judges and chat about the winning drink, “The Songbird of Manzanar” by Jena Lane Ellenwood (center). Her cocktail was inspired by a friend’s grandmother who was a prisoner at the Manzanar internment camp during World War II. She was known for her beautiful voice and that inspired the cocktail’s name. Her granddaughters shared a jar of her preserved ume plums with Jena Lane and her winning drink, fittingly, uses umeboshi plum vinegar in the recipe. Congrats, Jena!
Here's her recipe:
3 dashes ginger bitters (Hella Bitters)
3 drops umeboshi plum vinegar (EdenSoy)
1 oz Marie Brizard Yuzu liqueur
1.5 oz Amas gin
.5 oz Quintinye Blanc Royal Vermouth
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with shisho leaf and an ume plum.

Not your great grandfather's Gibson... This is an excellent spin on a classic cocktail (which seems to have more BS origin stories than a bourbon brand... it's the onion...) It features sotol (in place of gin), bianco vermouth, and a savory pickled shallot. Nice work by @chris_zulueta behind the stick at @sylvainneworleans!
