BEHIND THE BAR

Pascolo Ristorante:

The Road to Italy Runs Through Burlington

S

tep through the door just off Church Street, head down a few steps, walk past the L-shaped bar below the cork ceiling and past exposed brick walls into Pascolo Ristorante, and the virtual transition from Burlington to Italy becomes complete.

A rustic destination specializing in Italian cuisine, wood-fired pizza and house-prepared cold cuts, Pascolo is an authentic dining experience right in downtown Burlington.

“We focus on seasonal, locally sourced, good food,” Bar Manager Zach Fernandez says.

“That’s what makes us stand out.”

With a wide-ranging, diverse menu that offers everything from dried, imported rigatoni with Bolognese or verdure, hand-rolled

gnocchi, pan-seared cod loin and an array of wood-fired pizzas (Pane Frattau, with tomato basil sauce, pecorino, mozzarella, pancetta and sunny-side up eggs; and Gamberetto, with wood-fired shrimp, mozzarella and olives), Pascolo’s offerings are about as far from the typical as you’re likely to find.

“We have a meat slicer behind the bar that we use to slice all of our house-cured antipasti meats, like soppressata and cacciatorini,” Fernandez says.

The open-concept dining destination has been open for nearly five years, and provides a steady stream of locals and visitors alike with a tangible connection to the old country.

“As far as the bar program, the whole wine

list focused on family-run, and at the very least sustainable, biodynamic or sustainable vineyards from Italy. And it’s all based on availability. Some wines we can only get during certain times of the year, but most of it we’re lucky enough to have built relationships with our suppliers, so we have backups.”

Fernandez’s favorite menu item: the fennel sausage pappardelle — a pasta dish in a light cream sauce infused with fennel, sautéed spinach and house-made fennel sausage — which is on the sweeter side — and parmesan cheese. But that indulgence comes only after a full night behind the bar, a destination he fell in love with three years ago.

What was your first night behind the bar like?

“It was pretty crazy. It was here at Pascolo. I feel like that’s the best way to learn. You can get trained up and watch people do it, but once you start actually working you can find your flow. You’ll find out how you work best and figure it all out. It was totally overwhelming — we had a full bar with 15 people staring the whole time, tickets were rolling in from the restaurant.

At times like that you have to turn around and compose yourself. It all falls into place.”

What’s your favorite part of the job?

“Interacting with my bar customers and being able to help them find something that’s going to make their experience stand out. Whether I can recommend an amazing glass of wine or something on the menu they’ve never tried before and they find out they absolutely love it — that’s my favorite part.”

Share a behind-the-bar secret.

“Confidence. That would be my secret. When you’re not sure about what you’re doing in the moment, just do it confidently and it will seem as though you know what you’re doing.

If you’re not sure, like if you don’t want to serve someone who has been drinking, confidently make your decision and don’t look back. You’ve got to stick to your guns.”

Bar Manager Zach Fernandez Written by Bill Burke | Photography by Oliver Parini 6 | 802spirits.com u J A N UA R Y 2020

Any advice to aspiring bartenders?

back behind the bar and learning your bar and the quirks to it — that’s the most important part.”

At the end of a shift, I… “I always sit down with the staff and reminisce and talk through the night so we can move on and work through it. Sometimes, especially on busier nights, everyone gets a little crazy.

It’s important to sit down and talk through it so you can let it roll off and start the next day fresh and new.”

“I think I would go back to school to study to be a marine biologist. I was interested in that during high school and came up here to go to school to study marketing and economics. If I could totally change my career path, I’d study the ocean and do something with that.”

Is there a signature cocktail at Pascolo Ristorante?

“I would say it’s the Toe of the Boot. It’s a mainstay that’s been on our drink list for years.”

Toddies THIS COMFORTING COCKTAIL IS PERFECT FOR CHILLY WINTER

C

hances are, it’s snowing. After all, this is Vermont, it is winter, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s during these earliest months of the year that the Green Mountain State finds itself under a blanket of the fluffy (or slushy or icy) white stuff, creating an often breathtaking, picturesque landscape.

Though it’s certainly scenic and beautiful to the point of instilling envy in much of the rest of the country, it does mean making plans to keep warm.

Hats and mittens work fine, but we’ve got a few more creative suggestions.

Hot Toddies, the time-tested, venerable cocktail to which many ascribe healing abilities, will get the job done. It is the quintessential cold weather cocktail, combining comforting warmth and the welcome flavors of whiskey, spices and a touch of sweetness.

According to cocktail historians, the Hot Toddy’s first warm spark can be traced back to 18th century northern England and Scottish pubs, where barmen would add some hot water to their Scotch to warm up after a cold day outdoors.

Simple to mix and comforting to hold and sip, the traditional hot toddy is a warming, straightforward drink for beginners to craft.

Hot Toddy courtesy epicurious.com

1 ounce bourbon 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ¼ cup boiling water

Pour the bourbon, honey and lemon juice into a sixounce mug. Top off with hot water and stir until honey is dissolved.

➤ Always drink in moderation.

MIXOLOGY: A FLOCK OF TODDIES

TALK the TALK The word “toddy” comes from the toddy drink in India, produced by fermenting palm tree sap. Its earliest known use can be traced to 1786, when it was meant to define "a beverage made of alcoholic liquor with hot water, sugar, and spices.”

However, a few other sources credit the Irish physician Robert Bentley Todd for his prescription of a hot drink of brandy, canella (white cinnamon), sugar syrup and water.

Of course, the addition of Vermont-made maple syrup only makes things better — including adding it into a Hot Toddy.

VT CODE #15536 | $44.99

Vermont Maple Hot Toddy courtesy esquire.com 2 ounces Sapling Maple Liqueur 1 cinnamon stick ¼ ounce Vermont maple syrup 1 ounce lemon juice 1 lemon wedge 5-6 cloves Hot water

Take the lemon wedge, stud it with 5-6 cloves, and hang it on the outside of the glass. Put one whole cinnamon stick into a 12-ounce mug, add the Sapling Maple Liqueur, the maple syrup and the lemon juice. Fill to the top with hot water and stir.

Please drink responsibly.

DRIVE

The drink can also benefit from the addition of cloves and cinnamon, and that’s where the flexibility of this seasonal favorite comes in. The most basic form lends itself perfectly to alterations and creativity. Take, for example, the Queen Bee Hot Toddy, which adds a little honey and caramel sweetness to the proceedings.

HAMMERED GET

Melt some caramel candies in a shallow bowl or dish and dip the rim of a mug into the plate of melted caramel. Squeeze the juice of the ½ lemon into the mug. Add the Fireball, hot water, honey and stir.

➤ Spiced Apple Hot Toddy

Part of the Toddy’s allure is that it’s so flexible. Introduce a single new ingredient and the cocktail takes on a completely different character. Among the more successful iterations are those that make the most of our regional offerings.

MIXOLOGY: A FLOCK OF TODDIES

ONE RYE. TWO ESTATES.

The Hot Toddy’s slightly less steamy sibling, the Cold Toddy (made with rye whiskey, oranges, lemons, cinnamon sticks, ginger, Earl Grey tea, cloves, honey and orange or regular bitters — served with ice and stirred until it’s cold) can impart many of the same flavors, but forgoing the boiling water.

Another version that strays slightly from the traditional recipe is Grog, which is essentially a hot toddy made with rum. Modern versions of Grog are made with hot or boiling water, and include lemon or lime juice, cinnamon or honey. An alternate version is Pirate Grog, which is served over ice in a rocks glass.

TWO ESTATES. TWO FLAVORS.

While you’re unlikely to get a prescription for a Hot Toddy if you’re feeling under the weather, there is some good news: This cocktail has a story and mythology connected to it that’s strictly over-the-counter.

VODKA WITH TASTE.

For generations, it’s been suggested that the steamy concoction can actually help fight the common cold. The question, then, persists — is a Hot Toddy good for a cold? We’re not going to suggest it carries medicinal qualities (especially because there is no cure for the common cold), but there are those that will argue that the hot water will relieve nasal congestion, the honey will soothe a sore throat and suppress coughing, and the vitamin C in the lemon juice can help reduce phlegm. And there may be a little science behind it. According to vinepair. com, whiskey can be a decongestant. The alcohol dilates blood vessels, making it easier for mucus membranes to deal with infection. Add a little herbal tea, and you could find yourself nodding off for some much-needed (and beneficial) shut-eye.

Here’s a Hot Toddy recipe that adds a little of that herbal flavor.

The Ideal Hot Toddy courtesy vinepair.com

BOLD. SAVORY. ROBUST.

8 ounces hot water 1 bag herbal tea 1 ounce bourbon

1 tablespoon honey 1 lemon wedge

Pour hot water in a mug and steep the tea for 2-3 minutes. Remove the tea bag and add honey, stirring to dissolve. Pour in the whiskey, add a squeeze of lemon juice, stir and sip.

That said, consume responsibly. Alcohol can interact with cold and flu medication, so be sure to exercise caution. Medicalnewstoday.com summarizes the theory this way:

“Although there are no cures for the common cold, people can treat some of the symptoms.

A hot toddy contains several ingredients that may be able to reduce cold symptoms, such as lemon, honey, and hot water. Adding spices, such as ginger, to a hot toddy may also have benefits. There is, however, no evidence to suggest that alcohol can help with the symptoms.”

t’s an aromatic spirit with a wide ranging flavor profile that can travel from crisp and refreshing to a deep, aged flavor with malty, whiskeylike notes. The bottom line: Gin isn’t just an evergreen punch to the palate. It’s a remarkably diverse spirit, and if you haven’t explored the spirit recently, you’re missing out on some notable advances.

Gin takes its signature and most recognizable flavors from a collection of botanicals — most commonly juniper berries, but also typically coriander, citrus peel and cinnamon, among a wider variety and It’s been said that depending on style. It has an herbal Winston Churchill flavor that blends well with refreshliked his martinis so ing, spring-like cocktails, yet adds something completely unique to the dry that he’d merely taste. Recent innovations, however, have lent a surprising diversity to the chill the gin and character of this old standby. then bow in the Hendrick’s Gin has released a new, direction of France. reimagined expression called Orbium.

It contains the same distillates as the classic Hendrick’s Gin (which is notable for being infused with rose and cucumber), with additional extracts of quinine. Quinine is normally associated with flavors found in the tonic water element of a gin and tonic, lending a familiar flavor. Hendrick’s has also included wormwood flavors often found in vermouth and blue lotus blossom. The result is a spirit that swings between floral and bitter.

Master Distiller Lesley Gracie

Orbium (‘Orb,’ referring to the round flavor Master Distiller Lesley Gracie strives to create,) is crafted in Hendrick’s new Gin Palace — a $17 million expansion of its distillery in Scotland that opened last year, featuring two new still houses, a walled garden and two state-of-the-art greenhouses from which Gracie can experiment. Easy to spot on the shelf, it’s bottled in a deep blue version of the classic apothecarystyle container synonymous with Hendrick’s.

A number of Vermont’s distillers are also innovating the category. Caledonia Spirits’ Tom Cat Gin is an example of how far afield the spirit can go from its pine-taste reputation.

Caledonia Spirits ages its Bar Hill Gin in new American oak barrels, resulting in a bolder, more robust expression that falls into the New World-style gin category. The oak mingles with the botanicals and a touch of raw honey to create a remarkable spirit that sits perfectly in a wide range of cocktails — or even sipped neat.

Also from Caledonia Spirits — located, appropriately on Gin Lane in Montpelier — is its Barr Hill Gin. Described as “an ode to the hardworking bees of the northeast,” it’s distilled in a custom-built botanical extraction still, which produces juniper-forward aromas with slightly sweet, subtle juniper, pine and resin flavors on the palate.

The takeaway: Gin may be the most useful clear spirit in your bar — and with good reason. Barr Hill Gin, in particular, tastes like spring because it uses honey sourced from Vermont

and New York. Its character, then, reflects the terroir of its northeast home.

Produced in Jeffersonville, Smugglers' Notch Hopped Gin is a 90-proof spirit created when alcohol vapors pass through locallysourced Vermont Cascade hops and organic juniper berries — all suspended in the column of the still. The result is rich, citrus on the nose and light citrus flavors on the palate with a full-bodied, long finish.

Wild Hart Distillery, in Shelburne, has created a Blood Orange Gin. Classic gin flavors intermingle with a burst of citrus, making it perfect for a refreshing cocktail calling for just a touch of juicy, fresh blood orange.

Green Mountain Distillers Organic Gin is distilled six times using a 100% organic base, combined with a unique blend of botanicals for a rich, full gin. It does open with intense, juniper flavors, but follows up with multilayered sweetness that complements the complexity of this spirit.

MIXOLOGY

A Touch of Glass

28 | 802spirits.com u J A N UA R Y 2020

Please drink responsibly.

Mixology doesn’t require fancy equipment or endless variations of drinking glasses. When purchasing glassware, look for these three essentials for quality: a fine rim, a slender stem for balance and appropriateness with the drink it holds.

Stock these glasses and you’ll be ready to serve even the most elaborate drinks.

ROCKS (LOWBALL)

COLLINS

HIGHBALL

4 — 9 ounces A rocks (or lowball) glass is short, wide-mouthed and used to serve cocktails neat or over ice. The ideal size is not so large that your Scotch gets lost in it, but large enough to fit large ice cubes.

8 — 12 ounces Collins glasses are straightsided, narrow glasses, used for drinks that have bubbles or a lot of juice in them. The glass is designed to be narrow enough to preserve the carbonation, but wide enough for ice cubes.

8 — 12 ounces Highball glasses are clear, simple and often used to make more than just highballs (think sours, Collins, juleps and more).

They will likely be the mostused glass in your bar. They also work well as a beer or soda glass.

MARTINI

BRANDY SNIFTER

WINE GLASS

4 — 10 ounces Slightly different from a cocktail glass, the martini is stemmed with a cone-shaped bowl for cocktails that are chilled, strained and served straight up (handle by the stem so your hand doesn’t warm the drink).

Always drink in moderation.

6 — 18 ounces Used for brandy or cognac, a snifter is a wide-bowled glass for warm drinks, cocktails on ice and spirits served neat.

The short stem enables your hand to warm the brandy or cognac while holding it.

12 — 16 ounces A tulip-shaped stemmed glass is the classic vessel for white wine, while the red wine glass tends to have a more swelling profile, with a little extra room in the bowl for vapors and aromas to collect.

COCKTAIL

4 — 12 ounces A cocktail glass is shaped with a stem which enables you to hold the glass without warming its contents with your hands. This glass comes in a multitude of shapes and sizes, often specific to a particular drink.

FLUTE

5 — 8 ounces A tall flute is the most festive way to serve sparkling wines and wine cocktails, like the mimosa. The surface encourages the formation of bubbles, while the shape accentuates their ascent.
