Show Notes
This episode first aired in December 2022, but we're giving it another because Simone Caporale is in Sydney next week for the Maybe Cocktail Festival (maybecocktailfestival.com).
Simone Caporale is something of a renaissance bartender — he’s a busy guy. He’s in the process of expanding his Barcelona bar Sips — which opened in 2021 and landed at number three on The World’s 50 Best Bars list this year — and has more than a few strands to what he does, and a recent roundup includes the following: along with Alex Kratena and Monica Berg, he created the innovative Muyu liqueurs brand; launched another brand, Amaro Santoni; worked on another brand Canaïma Gin, which sustainable sources botanicals from the Amazon (and raises money for conservation efforts); took over ownership of the historic Boadas bar in Barcelona; and most recently launched the Art of Shaking, a subscription training program for bartenders that teaches you the things you don’t get to learn in every other cocktail course.
