About this episode
In our first ever recording in front of a live audience at the VinePair HQ, we're revisiting the Old Fashioned, a drink that embodies the very definition of the cocktail and a concoction that has not only withstood the test of time but tells the very evolution of modern craft cocktail culture. Joining us to unpack that journey and dive deep on ingredients and technique is returning guest Steve Schneider, partner, bar manager and bartender at New York’s Sip & Guzzle, and partner at Employees Only Singapore, The Odd Couple in Shanghai and The Elysian Café in Hoboken, N.J. Listen on (or read below) to discover Steve's Old Fashioned recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
