On this week’s The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, we bring you a fascinating conversation regarding the US wine and spirits market, particularly for foreign producers. It can be a difficult landscape to navigate, and it has transformed considerably in recent years due to the changing nature of information availability and how products are sold. These factors and other things we discuss certainly affect consumer choice. Our guest is US market expert, Steve Raye of Bevology, Inc. Steve is an author, podcast host, lecturer, and consultant in the drinks business.

We’ve got a new The #NOLADrinks Show out soon this week where we will discuss the (often complicated) landscape of the wine and spirits market in the US for foreign producers and what that can mean for consumers and the drinks business – really interesting stuff!
But ICYMI, the current show is also super interesting! We discuss how sound functions in hospitality spaces (ambient noise, music, etc.) and how deeply it affects the guest experience in a multitude of ways. We talk with Matt Edgar (pictured here) and Cody Meltzer of Pineapple Audio, a Chicago-based company that provides expert sound design and approaches to spots around the globe.

Here’s another show from Tales of the Cocktail 2022. This time around, a fascinating conversation where we chat with Matt Edgar and Cody Meltzer of Pineapple Audio. We talk about their Tales seminar, “The Sound of Hospitality.” It’s a conversation on how deeply sound affects our experience in hospitality spaces. We also discuss how establishments that get this concept and integrate it into their design can greatly enhance their guests’ experience and enjoyment. It’s not just about “cranking up the tunes!”

We’ve got a terrific new featured drink for you that seems, well, seasonally appropriate (and, yet, hopefully, not one that is foreshadowing anything…) It’s the “Storm Warning” by Abigail Gullo of Loa Bar. This delicious mezcal-based riff on a Hurricane is delightfully flavorful, bright, and refreshing. For those in the know, the drink’s name is taken from the Mac Rebennack (who later, of course, became better known by his stage name – “Dr. John”) tune.
Abigail’s note on the drink – “Allow this surly 1959 instrumental just a few revolutions on your turntable and you can already fathom the sea of brilliant madness about to swamp New Orleans, from a Boy named Mac Rebennack who attended Jesuit high school before proceeding to inject a culture Suffused with voodoo with…more voodoo! Wielding his ivory staff, Dr. John sure could herd the Loup-garous. Mystical and tall. Over ice.”
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Mezcal
.75 oz Passion Fruit Liqueur (Abigail uses “Chinola”)
.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
2 oz Hibiscus Rose Mint Tea (see below)
For the Tea:
2 parts Hibiscus
1 part Rose
1 part Mint
Build:
Prepare tea as normal – steeped in hot water and strain off solids once cool. Shake all ingredients over ice and serve in a tall glass with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
Tips:
For the tea, Dried hibiscus can be found in most Latin food stores (called Jamaica), on-line or in tea form as “red zinger.” But to get the true red color, pure dried hibiscus is recommended. Similarly, dried rose for tea (petals and/or buds) can be found online and in specialty markets. Also, if you like things a little sweeter (the passion fruit liqueur brings a good bit, FYI!), you can add light simple syrup to the tea. Spin some Dr. John, sip, and enjoy! And, stay safe during tropical storm season, too! Cheers and Be Well, You All!✌️❤️🍹

We’re back after enjoying and participating in the 20th anniversary edition of Tales of the Cocktail as it returned to New Orleans in its full, in-person format! We taped a couple shows at the event (with more to come later) starting with this one – and it starts with a bang! We chat with Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and David Wondrich, two of the foremost cocktail historians on the planet and two great guys! As usual with Dave and Jeff, we talk about a host of things including their seminars at Tales, Dave’s new award-winning book, Jeff’s spot - Latitude 29, bartending, drink making, and much more! Also, as you would expect with these two, the conversation is both terrifically funny and greatly informative at the same time!

This was a terrific pre-Tales of the Cocktail treat! Had the chance to visit and taste with Dave Smith, “President of Vices,” of St. George Spirits from Alameda, California – right near where I grew up. Truly amazing juice (have been a fave for a while) and great conversation! Thanks to Dave for his time and for sharing some of their fantastic portfolio with me!
They will be at the Meet the Distillers event at Tales on Friday from 2-6pm and you can also catch them for a happy hour this Monday with our pal, Abigail Gullo (our featured guest on this week’s show – link in bio), at the Loa Bar in the International House Hotel, from 3-5pm. Check ‘em out! Special thanks to the fantastic crew at Saba for generously taking care of us! Cheers and Be Well, You All!✌️❤️🍸️

On this edition of The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, the last before we take a couple weeks off for Tales of the Cocktail, we’re talking “making good drinks!” We’re joined by bartender extraordinaire, Abigail Gullo, over at the Loa Bar found in the International House Hotel in downtown New Orleans. Abigail shares with us three terrific original drinks she has created for their program that are each based on classics. We discuss these delicious concoctions, the classics they are built on, and why they work. We also talk about a host of other ideas and concepts that will help you, whether a home bartender out to impress or someone in the industry looking to improve their chops, simply to make better drinks!
Be sure to check our previous post to see the first of three drinks Abigail crafted for this show and our “The NOLADrinks Show Featured Drink” series – “The Matador,” a Gin and Tonic variation!

We’re back with another “The #NOLADrinks Show Featured Drink!” We’re also back with a new show out soon! On both accounts, we’re with bartender extraordinaire, Abigail Gullo of Loa Bar found in the International House Hotel! Here, we have an original creation by Abigail called, “The Matador.” It’s a terrific Gin and Tonic variation similar to the Spanish style of presenting the cocktail. This drink, as well as two more that will roll out in the next few weeks, will feature in our next episode where we talk with Abigail about “Making Good Drinks!”
Abigail’s note on the drink: “The Dangerous Summer, the Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon all represent years spent dissecting each move of the Matador. Rio was our Matador and in striking contrast to a character from a Hemmingway novel, he radiated kindness and joy and any chance encounter would leave you with more energy than before.”
Ingredients:
1 oz Gin (Empress Gin recommended)
1 oz Grape Eau-de-Vie (Cobrafire – essentially an “unaged Armagnac,” from that region, recommended)
.5 oz L’Esprit De June (a floral liqueur made in the Cognac area of France)
6 oz Tonic (elderflower Tonic preferred)
Build:
Build the drink in a large balloon glass filled with good quality ice. Stir gently to incorporate the ingredients. Garnish with citrus, other fresh fruit, and fresh herbs.
Tips:
Abigail mentions that you can use St. Germain elderflower liqueur if you can’t find L’Esprit De June. Use good, clean ice – but not too small so the drink doesn’t over dilute! For garnish – the sky’s the limit! Fresh citrus is a must, but seasonal fruits like melon, cucumber, etc. are fantastic. Fresh herbs like mint add a finishing touch. But, as she says on the garnish, “Go Wild!”
Cheers and Be Well, You All!

On this week’s The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias we’re talking about whiskey and invasive green crabs! You may say, “what the?!?” But it’s a fascinating partnership between New Hampshire’s Tamworth Distilling and Mercantile and the University of New Hampshire’s Sea Grant program. The European green crab is a troubling invasive species in the region that is being exacerbated by climate change. In this innovative effort to raise awareness, Tamworth Distilling is producing a whiskey that utilizes culled green crabs (think: crab boil seasoning flavor) in a unique spirit, “Crab Trapper.” Our guests are Steven Grasse and Will Robinson of Tamworth Distilling and Dr. Gabriela Bradt of the University of New Hampshire.

Hey All! No new show this week. But don’t fear – we have another terrific The #NOLADrinks Show Featured Drink! This time around it’s Patrick Williams of Midnight Revival’s take on the classic tropical drink, the Dr. Funk! The drink is named after German doctor, Bernhard Funk. He practiced medicine in Samoa and had author Robert Louis Stevenson as a patient and friend. The drink found its way onto both Trader Vic’s and Don the Beachcomber’s menus (source: Jeff “Beachbum” Berry.)
Ingredients:
.25 oz Fresh Lime Juice
.25 oz Herbsaint
.25 oz Grenadine
.5 oz Monin Simple Syrup
.5 oz Fresh Lemon juice
1.5 oz Don Q Silver Rum
.75 oz Myers’s Rum
1 oz Soda Water
Build:
Build the first seven ingredients in a milkshake tin, add cracked or "Sonic" ice, and flash blend for 5 seconds. Then, add the soda water to the tin and pour into a tiki glass. Garnish with lemon and lime wheels and a cocktail umbrella for the finishing touch!
Tips:
You can certainly make your own simple syrup using a 1:1 ratio of sugar (preferably demerara) and water. Also, absinthe can be substituted for the Herbsaint. Some variations use only 1.5 oz of a lighter (white) rum. Patrick’s addition of Myers’s adds some “darker” flavor and mouthfeel and makes the drink a bit boozier (pleasantly!) Flash blending the drink gives it a frothier texture. If you don’t have a hand mixer or drink mixer for this purpose, the drink can be shaken in a cocktail shaker. Remember to add the soda water after blending or shaking!
Check out @midnightrevivalnola!
Cheers and Be Well, You All!✌️❤️🍹

On this week’s The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, we discuss the return of live music to New Orleans and, specifically, to its iconic music district – Frenchmen Street. We welcome Patrick Williams of Midnight Revival, a new music venue and bar located in the Frenchmen Hotel, Duane Bartels of The Duane Bartels Band, and Andrew Portwood of Fox Pocket, a talent management and booking agency. We discuss what it means to have music back, what the “new normal” looks like, and what we might expect looking ahead to the summer and beyond. It’s an interesting conversation on a culturally and economically important part of our city and region!

Please note – this show was taped over a week ago prior to today’s disheartening and destructive news. As regular listeners know, The NOLADrinks Show is about equity, inclusivity, and human rights. This certainly includes a woman’s right to choose. We stand firmly against the Supreme Court ruling and will continue our messaging of social justice moving forward.

Hey, All! We’ve got another great drink in our new “The #NOLADrinks Show Featured Drink Series!” This time, we’ve got a nice rum cocktail – “The Privateer” by Patrick Williams of Midnight Revival! As Patrick puts it, “It’s a cigar type sipper.” It’s rum-forward with nice elements of fruit and spice courtesy of the banana liqueur and allspice dram. Here’s what you need to do…
Ingredients:
.25 oz Monin Simple Syrup (or make your own)
1.5 oz Pusser’s Rum (Original)
.5 oz Giffard Banane du Bresil
.25 oz St. Elizabeth’s Allspice Dram
2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
Build:
Place all ingredients in a mixing glass and add ice. Stir for 40 revolutions. Strain into a rocks glass over large ice and garnish with an additional mist of the Allspice Dram.
Tips:
You can batch this drink for a party or for volume use. Patrick noted he likes the way the allspice dram “grows” in the batch. For the large ice, one big cube (you can find large ice cube trays, in square or round shapes and usually 6-up, online or in some craft bottle shops) works great. For the allspice mist, you can easily find small squirt bottles in grocery stores or online. These work great for use in our previous Featured Drink, The Sazerac, when coating the glass with Herbsaint or absinthe. See our previous post.
Cheers and Be Well, You All!✌️❤️🍹

Here’s something new, our “The #NOLADrinks Show Featured Drink!” Often, we will get with talented bartenders and others to bring you a terrific libation! The idea is to share the recipe and tips on how to make it. Sometimes they might be a bit challenging technique-wise or require you to get an ingredient or two from the bottle shop (not just the grocery). But, the goal, whether you are a home bartender or someone in the trade looking to grow your chops, is to share something with you that you can actually make!
For our first one, where else would we start in New Orleans than with the Sazerac!?! It’s the city’s official cocktail and we’re about to kick-off Sazerac Cocktail Week and Sazerac Cocktail Day on June 23. Here we bring you the way this New Orleans classic is done at the Sazerac House. Though the drink is made with five straightforward ingredients, getting the technique and the balance right is critical. This week’s show (out soon!) has more tips, the history of the drink, “acceptable” variations, and more with our guest Matt Ray of the Sazerac House!
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Sazerac Rye
1 sugar cube
3 dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters
.25 oz Herbsaint
Lemon Twist
Preparation:
Pack an Old Fashioned (rocks glass) with ice to chill it down. In a second Old-Fashioned glass, place in the sugar cube and cover it with 3 dashes of bitters. Muddle the cube well in the bitters. Add the Rye to the glass. Add ice and stir to get it nice and cool (but not too diluted!) Empty the ice from the first glass and coat with the Herbsaint by rolling it around the entire glass. Discard the remaining Herbsaint. Strain the drink into the Herbsaint coated glass and garnish with a twist of lemon and the peel on the rim.

Cheers and Be Well, You All, And Happy Sazerac Day!✌️❤️🍸

We let you know about the specifics of what’s happening at this year’s Tales – their 20th anniversary! This includes the tastings, the seminars, the parties, and much more!

We are never judgy on The #NOLADrinks Show, except of course, when judging cocktails! Thanks to Diageo for asking me to be part of the judging panel for their “For the Love of Agave” event here in New Orleans at the Toulouse Theater! Local bartenders showed out sharing their cocktail chops and presenting their drinks across various criteria including presentation, taste, balance, and sustainability. Lots of cool, inventive, and delicious libations!
New show out tomorrow – our annual Tales of the Cocktail preview! Cheers and Be Well, You All!
