missary, located in DuPont Circle in Washington DC is a historical mansion that was transformed into a type of European cafe meets West Coast coffee house with a very unrushed, laid back vibe. Owner Elias Hengst, who also coowns Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar and Dupont Circle Yoga oversaw as it was painstakingly stripped back to the original terrazzo floors, exposed brick and plaster walls. It’s a fairly large space with a coffeehouse in the front that serves high-end single origin coffee sourced by Emissary’s “coffee guru,” from Counter Culture and fresh pastries from a local French baking company, Fresh Baguette. Take a short walk in past the coffeehouse and you are transported into a smaller café and kitchen bar with a viewing area. The kitchen serves a local menu with a vegetarian focus. Journey further into the back you’ll find the Speakeasy, which has 12 seats at the main bar and a large lounge area. The building has a rich history, built and owned by a notorious gambling family over 140 years ago who also invested in some of the highest profile bars in DC at the time. The builder, Isaac Baggot Jones and his brother also built a gambling establishment called the “The Club” where George A. Williamson, known to history as the bartender who mixed the first Rickey Cocktail, was a partner. The vibe is very dim and cozy like classic NYC bars, with copperish gold lighting and candles everywhere. There’s wallpaper on the ceiling and far walls to soften the bar. The beautiful bar top is surrounded by old fashion cocktail glasses and mix and matched bar equipment that are routinely swapped out, continually being sourced at local antique shops. Emissary features an all-local bar program headed up by veteran Bar Director Jamie Imhof. Imhof teamed up with beer director Benjamin Hunter and picked 15 breweries from DC, Maryland and Virginia, featuring one canned beer from each that they thought best showcased that brewer’s particular skills. “Canning beers is all the rage in the US right now,” said Imhof. “Because it’s more environmentally friendly, keeps beer fresher and the artwork on the can is fun and easy to sell.” The wine program is all picked and blind tasted by Imhof, a level 2 somm from the Court of Master Sommeliers. “It’s a somm’s list, the requirements had to be just amazing across the board and I tasted through 100’s of wines,” said Inhofe. “As much as we would’ve loved to write a local list, there wasn’t enough quality in the area for us, so we do about 20 wines all by glass and bottle, and they have to be from small producers highlighting attributes like bio dynamic sustainability and fun and interesting varietals.” Imhof explains that the bar program is where she really has some fun. “I decided to put myself out there and only pick up spirits from New York to Carolina. I would say the program is 90% American, I did throw a couple tequilas/mescals/scotch but they won’t be featured in any cocktails. Plus with all these partnerships I have, I have access to all the new fun releases coming. Our Top favorite distilleries we are working hand in hand with are Backwater Distilling, Catoctin Creek Distilling, One Eight Distilling, Don Cacao & File, Republic Restoratives and Smooth Ambler.” Emissary is banking on word of mouth and social media to really lift its profile. The establishment itself is photo ready, so check out their Instagram at emissary_dc for frequent updates and pretty pics.

Cannabis CockTails “it might just be the future cash crop category in the beverage industry.”
“Flavors, that’s my talent. I was trained as a saucier at a formal restaurant so I think in flavor so when I taste different strains of pot,” said Bobrow. “Using heat to unleash the THC, I started dealing with flavor. Appreciating flavor made me want to make drinks to speak a language that hasn’t been translated. This is medicinal. I’m not looking at a ‘get high quick’ thing. My intention in writing this book is to help people wanting to take medicine in a non-interrupted way that doesn’t involve smoking. It’s discreet. I’m all about discretion.” Bobrow takes his inspiration from old-time apothecaries, which makes sense after you find out his grandfather literally manufactured and sold snake oil. “My philosophy is that all cocktails had beginnings in

it might just be the future cash crop category in the beverage industry. “If California votes to legalize, the sky is the limit and I believe we are looking at a new frontier,” said Jason Eisner, Beverage Director at Love Serve Remember who has been serving CBD infused cocktails at vegan Gracias Madre in West Hollywood, California. “I’ve been working on Cannabis cocktails for years and I’ve got pages of cannabis cocktail recipes. I can’t wait.” Eisner, a medical user since the early 2000s, was inspired to create the cocktails as a way to educate people on the benefits of marijuana.
Legalizing medical marijuana first has been a positive strategy in delegitimizing the stigmas against cannabis, and a big part of the push towards legalization is the continuing dedication that legalization proponents place on the healthy and positive benefits of weed.
“I had never enjoyed using Cannabis as a youngster, since I often experienced the unwanted side effects of THC. However, CBD works differently. It’s a mood elevator, an anti-anxiety, and an antidepressant, so you feel pretty great consuming it, but it’s also non psychoactive, so you get to feel good and yet maintain your faculties,” said Eisner, who also owns his own craft beer garden in Highland Park, CA called Block Party. “People have described these cocktails as making them feel silky, happy, and soft. It’s more of a body buzz and I think it compliments alcohol well. Marijuana has done amazing things for the quality of my life and I want others to have it too.”
Many people are learning for the first time that many longtime cannabis users prefer not to smoke it in the traditional joint, bowl or blunt. Healthier alternatives like eating and drinking THC (the main hallucinatory component of weed) or cannabinoids (CBDs; the main medicinal component) are all the rage. Oregon alone saw edible (taffy, candy, baked goods) consumption grow by 40 percent in a few scant months after becoming legal and that is with a one a day, 15mg per dose limit. So it’s no surprise that mixing alcohol and marijuana is not only the basis for scores of great jazz tunes,

As Messina pointed out, cannabis-infused alcoholic drinks may now only be the realm of select progressive establishments or home tinkerers, but that is, without a doubt, soon to change. And as laws change and public perception opens up to the benefits of cannabis and its many uses, you just may be sipping or serving something just a little bit greener the next time you hit happy hour.
“It was the same time as legalization in Oregon and my friends had a wedding reception in the woods. Someone came around with a cannabis tincture and a little dropper that had cannabis liquid in it,” explains Messina. “It just seemed like a festive way to share cannabis that wasn’t smoking. I love working with food and thought this could be infused into bitters. It’s just a great marriage and healthy way to ingest cannabis.”
By Frederick Williams
y the time you are reading this, it is very possible that a quarter of the country will be able to legally purchase marijuana at a dispensary. Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada are all voting to legalize recreational marijuana, potentially joining DC, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Meanwhile, Arkansas, Florida, Montana and North Dakota are proposing medical marijuana legislation and, if passed, they would join the 25 states that allow it.
apothecary, so it’s only by necessity we have healing remedies – bitters – in cocktails. These were invented in the 1800s and carry over to cocktails today,” explains Bobrow. “To write a different book, I was recreating some of these folk healing methods using craft spirits, but the only ingredient my publisher wouldn’t let me use was cannabis – and that’s the only ingredient I felt was actually doing anything.”
It’s that same spirit of sharing the good word on weed that inspired Portland-based Messina Bitters owner and founder Camille Messina to create a line of cannabis-infused bitters to spice up your next cocktail creation.
bartender.com bartender.com
mixologist.com mixologist.com
Regulations in Oregon currently prohibit the sale of cannabis cocktails but Messina has joined forces with Northwest Portland’s Irving Street Kitchen to create two cocktails that include her non-cannabis virgin bitters. “For me, it was a must working with chefs and bartenders because my background is in botany and holistic medicines,” said Messina, currently rolling out her bitters to dispensaries in the Portland area. “The part about working with bartenders really fascinated me; I can share my experience and they can share their expertise. Right now, bartenders aren’t allowed to sell marijuana-infused cocktails. As a result, cannabis cocktails are primarily made by patients, by hobbyists and at private parties. It’s only a matter of time until this changes. Voters have made it clear that regulated and legalized marijuana is a much better system than an unregulated, criminal market approach. Marijuana bars and cafes will eventually become legal. But in the meantime, people have to mix marijuana bitters drinks themselves.” When the day does come that cannabis infused drinks are the norm, you’ll be sure that bartenders everywhere will have a copy of the first cocktail recipe book dedicated to the craft, Cannabis Cocktails by New Jersey-based bartender and writer Warren Bobrow. The book is a collection of 75 recipes of cannabis-influenced cocktails, from cocktails incorporating cannabis-infused liquors to drinks featuring cannabis bitters and tinctures and those flavored with cannabis smoke.

Feature Wine Cellar Queen Mary 2 If you are going to travel in style, you might as well have a great drink while you’re doing it. And if you’re going to travel on the worlds most famous luxury liner, the Queen Mary 2 (QM2) that drink can now come from a newly refurbished wine cellar that holds a unique collection of 484 wines from 23 countries, including the highly sought after California Screaming Eagle at $4,500 per bottle, which is to be served by the glass for the very first time. In June the incomparable Cunard ocean liner; The Queen Mary 2 set sail after undergoing a nearly $132 million dollar, one million man-hour rejuvenation. As a part of this re-up the luxury liner was updated stem to stern. The ship was lifted out of the water for 19 days and over 5,000 people worked on QM2 over the 25 days in a 24-hour operation that saw a complete overhaul. Not only can the ocean liner now carry an additional 341 passengers, from 2,620 to 2,961 but they also added an additional 12 kennels so even your dog can have a great vacation. But most importantly to BARTENDER® readers, included in the update was an investment in wine. Not only does the ocean liner now boast the “World’s Finest Wine Cellar at Sea” but the company took the next step of creating an onboard wine school and a host of guest tastings and learning experiences. Lets start with the wine cellar; the wine list was created by Edward Dieusaert, Beverage Services Manager (Cunard), Anthony Habert, Head of Beverage Services (CUK), and Paul Mitchel, Beverage Buyer (CUK). Artwork was designed internally by the Cunard Design Studio and Marketing Department.

The majority of the wines are stored in a temperature controlled red and white wine storerooms. The rooms have built-in air conditioners that ensure perfect temperature and humidity regulation. They also have temperature-controlled fridges in each dispense bar where they keep the operational stock. They keep 46 Vintage Ports permanently on display in the temperature controlled wine fridges in the Carinthia Lounge, designed by Alison Clixby, Director of Hotel Design and Projects at SMC Designs. Cunard has made significant changes to the design and range within its overall wine list. Passengers can be onboard for between 4 and 104 days, so choice is key. When Cunard started the process of looking at the wines to offer on board Queen Mary 2, they relied on customer feedback given to sommeliers. In addition, they are in regular contact with suppliers and growers. This year they tasted over 2000 wines from all over the world before finally deciding on a selection of wines. The newly designed wine list includes the most significant collection of Vintage Ports at sea today. Beginning with the rare 1840, each of the 46 different vintages of Port charts Cunard’s history through to the present day. Only a handful of the 19th century bottles are known to be in existence today. Fine wine can be intimidating, and Cunard realized that in order for guests to enjoy the wine, it should be important that they understand it. That’s where the Cunard Wine Academy comes in – its an all sensory experience of food and wine pairings, tastings and producer master classes for the appreciation of those new to wine culture as well as even the most advanced wine graduate.

Guests can sign up for a host of continuing experiences including a 2 hour Lunch and Learn that is designed to allow guests to study with expert sommeliers that guide them through the chosen topic as they enjoy a delicious three-course lunch.

Then, if you’re ready for the minor leagues, you can attend one of the Fine Wine Seminars at The Tasting Room as one of the luxury liner’s wine experts will guide you through a visual and tasting tour of their all-star cast of world-class wineries. For the big league wine enthusiasts out there, the real experience and draw will be 2 events on the ocean liner in November and next January. The first is the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 1 Award in Wines taking place in November. The WSET Level 1 Award in wines is a 4-day introductory course suited for the wine enthusiast who wishes to be introduced in a structured way to wine styles, storing and serving of wine and food and wine matching. It’s all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Available during Queen Mary 2’s World Voyage in January 2017, WSET Level 2 Course in Wines and Spirits is an intermediate level 12-day qualification that explores wines and spirits. This qualification explores the major grape varieties and important wine regions in which they are grown. You’ll learn about the styles of wines produced from these grapes as well as key qualifications and labeling terminology. So book a trip, drink some wine and send us some pics!

Vintage Cocktail Shakers by Stephen Visakay
Gleaming with sophistication and style, vintage cocktail shakers, an original American invention and usable work of art, define American Art Deco design. These elegant cultural artifacts are one of today’s most valued collectibles. Like many vintage buildings saved from destruction by landmarks preservation committees of today, these micro-skyscrapers that once sat upon the blue glass plains of 1930’s cocktail tables are being saved for the enjoyment of future generations. Form and function never had a better mix. Cocktail Shakers; the words conjure up visions of glamour and elegance. Seven hard shakes over your right shoulder and you can travel back in time, back to the splendor of Hollywood movie sets, with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, luxurious hotel lounges with gleaming chrome, or watching William Powell instruct a bartender on the proper way to shake a martini in The Thin Man movie of 1933. A few more shakes and you’re in the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby, standing around, martini in hand, with tuxedo-clad sophisticated folk, millionaire-suave, mouthing cocktail party gossip. As an original American art form cocktail shakers reflect the changing nature of the various styles of art, design and architecture of the era between the two Great Wars. We see the graceful lines of Art Nouveau in the early 1920s being replaced by the rage for jazzed geometric moderne design. This geometric cubism of Picasso, that influenced so many designers, was then replaced by the craze for Streamline Design in the 1930s. Cocktail shakers were taking the shape of the new deity of American architecture, the Skyscraper, both giving the appearance of movement and speed in a slow economy. They were here to penetrate the gloom of the Depression, ready to propel us into the future of prosperity like some buck Rogers rocket ship. Both perfect symbols of generative power of our perpetration into better times ahead. Cocktail shakers and architecture took on the aerodynamically sleek industrial design of the automobile and airship. It was as, Norman Bel Geddes said, a quest for speed. All sharp edges and corners were rounded off, even the sharp notes of Jazz music into Swing. The day of the cocktail shaker ended as did the Depression gripping America on December 7, 1941 and our involvement in World War Two. Companies that once made cocktail shakers now made artillery shells. All metal went to the war effort. After the war few thought of the shakers, we were in the atomic age, thinking of jet-propelled aircraft, a thing called television and new cars with lots of chrome. After waiting almost a life time to be recalled to life, as Dickens’ Doctor Manette in A Tale of Two Cities, the cocktail shaker with the turn of the Millennium cocktail craze is again a symbol of elegance.

SOMRUS
CREAM LIQUEUR
Some ideas come to us out of need, some out of desperation and some out of desire. It’s fitting then, that a new liqueur taking the industry by storm came to us from the desires of a married couple to share their culture and heritage with the world. Years ago, SomruS founder PK Garg was on a business flight back to the US from his homeland of India when he asked the stewardess for an after dinner drink to accompany his meal. Having been in the US for 30 years, out of habit he ordered a Bailey’s. But when they served a traditional Indian dessert called Ras Malai, PK realized the flavors just didn’t gel. Liqueurs are defined by the flavors and tastes of the regions and countries from which they originate. Baileys represents Ireland, Cointreau and Grand Marnier, France and Kahlua reflects the culture and flavors of Mexico, but none adequately translated the rich tradition and flavors of his homeland of India. Little did now President and Chief Flavor Development of Chicago-based SomPriya Fine Spirits, LLC., Swati Garg know, but at 30,000 feet her husband had finally figured out how to utilize both his twenty years as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies and her lifelong passion and flare for creating forward thinking and delicious recipes. But she found out when he landed, and the two spent 4 years experimenting, tasting, researching and finally developing that recipe. The result is SomruS, which translates to ‘Nectar of the Gods” in Hindi. SomruS is an intricate blend of authentic spices including cardamom and saffron, almond and pistachio, and rose with pure dairy cream and handcrafted rum, SomruS takes its very inspiration from the Ras Malai that started it all. A natural match for Indian food and other spiced cuisines like Thai, Szechuan and Cajun, SomruS is also great for cocktails, poured over fruit and baked into desserts. “It’s a blessing to be able to work with my wife and be close to the family while working and have success,” said PK. “There are challenges but its great. I joke that I’ll get a sign and on one side it says home and on the other work. So whenever we start talking I’ll just ask her which way to spin it! But really, we are living the dream. We came to this country as immigrants so its great to be able to share our culture and flavors with the wider world” Since its test launch in October 2014, SomruS has already been found on the shelves of Whole Foods, Mariano’s, Binny’s, Wine Chateau and Total Wine & more. The Beverage Tasting Institute gave it 94 Points; it was named one of the “Top 50 Spirits” of 2014 by Wine Enthusiast and “Cream Liqueur of the Year” by New York International Spirits Competition and was also named a hot trend and “one of the most visited booths” by Crain’s Chicago Business at the 2016 NRA & BAR Show. According to Proof66.com, SomruS is the most awarded cream liqueur in the world. Millenials and foodies have played a big part in the growth of the brand. SomruS is all natural, gluten-free and preservative-free, with a two-year shelf life. It’s great with desserts and Chai Tea gets a grown-up boost with a splash of SomruS, which already includes the cream and spices typically added to black tea to make chai.

“From a business perspective India is a developing economy, only 70 years independent from the British,” said PK. “Liqueurs in India just didn’t exist. We wanted to create a product that is the next generation liqueur globally, and SomruS is the creation of the Indian liqueur category.”

Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert is the reigning six-time CMA and seven-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year (the first time any female has won 7 consecutive years). In addition to her award winning music, she dedicates much of her time to her MuttNation Foundation, an organization that supports shelters and helps pets find a forever home. She also owns a lifestyle boutique, general store she named, The Pink Pistol, that is located in her hometown of Lindale, Texas. The Texas native’s cocktail takes its name after the first single, “Vice,” written by Lambert, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne from her sixth studio album, The Weight of These Wings, due for release November 18th. For the 2014 CMA New Artist of the Year Brett Eldredge, work began on his second album the day his first one went on sale. Eldredge was determined to build upon the success of BRING YOU BACK, which yielded three No. 1 hits – “Don’t Ya,” “Mean to Me” and the Billboard No. 1 song on Country Airplay for 2014, “Beat of the Music.” His sophomore album Illinois, has only built on the momentum. It has yielded two No. 1 hits - “Lose My Mind,” “Drunk On Your Love.” With five No. 1 singles under his belt, Eldredge recently earned his first ever Male Vocalist of the Year nomination for the 2016 ACM Awards. Brett’s cocktail takes its name from the title of his first studio Christmas Album, Glow. Glow will be available on Oct. 28, and fans can expect 11 tracks of holiday cheer including a duet with Meghan Trainor on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”

Haley & Michaels:
Husband and wife duo, Shannon Haley & Ryan Michaels grew up in neighboring towns in Northern California, but didn’t meet until they both moved to Nashville. The duo rose to fame in 2015 when they performed their single, “Giving It All (To You)” on NBC’s Today Show. While it has been streamed over 2 million times, the couple stresses it’s only one aspect of their creative life. Not wanting to be pigeonholed as “singers of love songs,” the couple followed up their love ballad with “Drinking About You.”
Jerrod Niemann:
Nashville hitmaker Jerrod Niemann is one of country music’s most original and talented innovators. Niemann’s chart-topping major-label debut, 2010’s Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury, produced the No. 1 smash and RIAA-certified Platinum digital single, “Lover, Lover,” and the Top 5 and RIAA-certified Gold digital single, “What Do You Want.” Niemann has quickly become a fan and industry favorite, earning award nominations from the Academy of Country Music, the Country Music Association and CMT while headlining his own shows and touring with such artists as Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. Jerrod’s cocktail takes it name from his new single called “A Little More Love” a duet with his good friend and labelmate Lee Brice, and produced by Jerrod, Lee and Jimmie Lee Sloas.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Taste of France
Recipes inspired by the cafes and bars of Fitzgerald’s Paris and the Riviera in the 1920’s By Carol Hilker rylandpeters.com $24.95
Carol Hilker has collected over 60 recipes inspired by the decadent food and drink enjoyed by F. Scott Fitzgerald and his fellow expatriates. Transport yourself to a café on boulevard Montparnasse and breakfast on Croque Monsieur accompanied by a Bloody Mary, or lunch on Caviar Sandwiches and Champagne. Idle away the hours on the sun- soaked French coast with an al fresco supper of Shrimp Cocktail, Steak Frites and Riviera Fruit Salad, or throw a party to rival Gatsby’s most glamorous affair and serve Harlequin Salad and Gin Rickeys. With features such as Drunk Before Noon exploring the flight from Prohibition in the USA and the resulting development of cocktail culture in France, Americans in Paris on the expat community to which Fitzgerald was introduced by Ernest Hemingway, and Chefs de Paris celebrating the great traditions of French cookery, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Taste of France is a gourmet journey you won’t want to miss.
Hophead Harry Goes to the Brewery By Dennis Kistner Bubs Publishing - Amazon.com $14.95
Hophead Harry Goes to the Brewery is a colorful story about a little hop’s journey through the brewing process. The title character introduces himself and explains how beer is made--from the field to the glass. To better tell the tale, Harry visits a number of friends who accompany him on his journey to the brewery. Throughout the story, each character describes his or her role in the beer-making process. First, we run into Bobby Barley who shows us how the process begins with grain. Next, Mary Malts arrives on the scene to discuss how she transforms the barley into malt. Once these three have their hops and malt packed up, they head to the brewery where they meet Brewmaster Brooks and Wendy Water. Combining all their resources, along with some brewer’s yeast, these five characters brew a craft beer together. After the beer is fermented in tanks, they transfer the beer into kegs before delivering them to the local pub. Although the story is set up as a children’s book filled with quirky characters and vivid illustrations, it’s as much meant for parents as it is for their children (actually, more so). It’s entertaining and educational regardless of age, but it’s a story predominantly meant for craft beer enthusiasts to enjoy. 24
