Show Notes

Nothing about the Japanese Cocktail is inherently Japanese, save for some of the patrons who reportedly first enjoyed it while frequenting the hotel bar tended by our old pal Jerry Thomas. Joining us today to shed some light on this mysterious and all-but-forgotten classic is Will Patton. Based in Washington D.C., Will is the beverage director of the restaurants Bresca and Jônt. Listen on (or read below) to discover Will's Japanese Cocktail recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
