A reverent mixologist

Read this on the plane back from Texas the other week. Great article from Pete Wells in FOOD & WINE about a mixologist named Audrey who’s opening a new place in NY soon. I like her style. I’d like to think she’d call a lot of vodka drinks “savage”™

This, for example, is how he leads into the recipe for the Maharajah’s Burra-Peg: “This particular Champagne affair was broken out on the eve of our departure alone across India, after a month with Spofford in his big Calcutta bungalow show in the fashionable Ballygunge section down Chowringhee, beyond Lower Circular Road.” It helps a little if you read this in the shade of your veranda while gazing at distant Kilimanjaro, but you get the idea.
