Ever wondered what goes into creating a cocktail that leaves an unforgettable impression? Join us as we sit down with Josh, a seasoned bartender from The Vault on First, to uncover the secrets behind the Gold Medal, an innovative twist on the classic old-fashioned. We promise you'll gain expert insights into the art of cocktail crafting, including the use of unique ingredients like herring cherry liqueur and fat-washed Maker's Mark, as Josh takes us through his journey from his early days at Ruby Tuesday to mastering his craft at The Vault.
Josh opens up about his personal and professional life, revealing how a move to Ohio and a failed relationship brought him back to his true passion: bartending. You'll hear tales from behind the bar, including Josh's aversion to overly complex cocktails and his dedication to proper beer pouring techniques, especially for Guinness. The Vault's impressive collection of over 240 bottles of spirits sets the stage for discussions about rare selections and Josh's philosophy on hospitality, influenced by his father's European winery customs.
As we wrap things up, get ready for a deep dive into the specifics of crafting the Gold Medal old-fashioned and the versatility of gin in cocktails like the French 75. We also touch on the importance of allergen awareness in restaurants and hear a few humorous stories, including a chaotic night at The Vault that ends in a laugh-out-loud moment. Tune in for a spirited conversation filled with lighthearted banter, expert tips, and a genuine passion for creating exceptional drinks. Cheers to good times and great conversations!
