He's a Cocktail Wizard

Every soiree needs exciting drinks - trendy and traditional recipes excellently prepared. Even better would be an expert on cocktails who can discuss the history, making, and drinking of said cocktails.

Enter David Wondrich, one of six instructors and partners in the Beverage Alcohol Resource of NYC, a company that offers

A Program for the Appreciation, Understanding
and Responsible Service of Adult Beverages.

 The company's mission:

to propagate the healthy and responsible use of beverage alcohol products through innovative and comprehensive training programs and seminars.

Wondrich is also a historian of cocktails and has published books on the subject, mosy recently Imbibe! (2008). The book won the "Best Book About Wine and Spirits" for 2008 from the James Beard Foundation.


I discovered an interview  by Laren Spirer with Wondrich on Serious Eats New York - a fabulous site (I joined!).


I would like to invite Dave Wondrich to my soiree.
