December is upon us, and we re gearing up for the holiday revelry by learning tricks of the trade from a few remarkable cocktailians. We begin with David Wondrich, one of the world s leading experts on the cocktail. He tell us about the early days of the craft cocktail revolution. Next, we mix it up with the bar crew at Zocolo Neighborhood Eatery and Drinkery in Shreveport. Bartender Aulden Morgan has been transforming the cocktail menu into one of the most unique in the region offering drinks with fresh and local juices and a diverse array of infused liquors. Then, we meet Charleston based Renaissance man, Scott Blackwell. Scott is a baker, a coffee roaster, a restaurateur, and most recently, the master distiller at High Wire Distilling Company. And we talk with a man who s got whiskey in his blood Bulleit Bourbon founder Tom Bulleit. He explains what propelled him to bite the bullet and pursue a full time career in whiskey.
