Letter from the Editor

mid February, one of my friends, David Goins, Icamendearest to visit me from his home

in Alpharetta. David and I had a busy Saturday, first visiting Pasaquan, where artist and site caretaker Charles Fowler gave us an excellent tour. That evening, we arrived too late for a seat at the Wolf & Clover CD release concert (Legacy Hall was filled to capacity; Frank Etheridge was able to attend, and you can read more about the Irish folk band on page 10), but we did enjoy the afterparty at The Loft. On Sunday, after breakfast, David prepared to go home. Looking for a way to detain him a while, I insisted we visit the new Bo Bartlett Center for Art (921 Front Avenue, Columbus), which had opened Jan. 18. Designed by the award-winning architect Tom Kundig, the Center is beautiful in design and for its contents, showing work by Columbus native Bo Bartlett and many of his contemporaries. David and I spent well over an hour roaming the 18,425 square foot Center, admiring and discussing our way through each of the Center’s spaces. When we left, David’s impression confirmed my expectations: the Center is an elegant, distinguishing element in Columbus’s growing reputation as an artistic and cultural hub. But we forgot something. Later in the month, at the mandala ceremony of “The Mystical Arts of Tibet,” after holding my son on my shoulders so that he could see the monks of Deprung Loseling Monastery unmake the mandala, I met a CSU art student, Tyler Hiroms. I knew she had recently installed sculpture in the Corn Center for the Visual Arts, and she agreed to show me her work the upcoming week. Tyler’s installation was highly praised by art professor Michael McFalls, who is about the last person I will disagree with regarding visual arts. Arms, legs and torsos hang from metal hooks suspended from the high ceiling. The pieces were cast from models, and are covered with wax, paint and earth. At first, the work can seem grotesque, a dangling display of visceral decomposition. It’s difficult to look away, and the more time one spends staring, the more beautiful the piece becomes. Tyler told me that one viewer compared the torsos to angels rising toward heaven. Tyler also showed me what David and I had forgotten on our Sunday visit to the Corner Center, the creative locus of CSU’s art department. She was kind enough to show me an exhibit down the hall from her installation, in the Bay Gallery, Green Patriot Posters, posters designed to encourage Americans to build a more sustainable world. From there, we visited the Norman Shannon and Emmy Lou P. Illges Gallery, a 3,250 square foot gallery space that reopens March 1 with a Faculty Exhibition. My friend and I had visited the Bo Bartlett Center, and I am glad we did. What we forgot to do, and what I hope you will remember to do, was also visit the Bay Gallery and the Illges Gallery, the ARTLAB Exhibitions and Fulcrum Gallery. We forgot that the entire building is bursting with compelling work, from CSU faculty, students and nationally-renown artists. An afternoon spent in the Corn Center, exploring its various spaces and diverse, ever-changing offerings of art, is an afternoon well spent. Thank you for reading, Tom Ingram Editor 3

dramatically decreased the rate of smoking in adults. Our education programs follow this example by targeting school age children. It’s natural for people to keep their animals the way their parents did. It isn’t always easy to convince adults that it is a good idea to spay/neuter pets before they have a litter or that pets should not be left outside when the temperatures are extreme. Introducing these ideas to youngsters will encourage them to become responsible pet owners as adults. In the 1970s and 1980s most of us were not aware of just how many animals were dying in our nation’s shelters. While the numbers have dropped significantly, shelter euthanasia remains the leading cause of death for companion animals. It is up to us to educate the public about the magnitude of the problem and how, by working together, we can fix it. Bobbi Yeo lives in Opelika, AL. She is the CEO of PAWS Humane in Columbus, GA, an animal shelter and veterinary clinic offering low-cost spay/neuter and other services to the public.

Our Mission & Vision

The most important thing you need to know about any nonprofit organization is its mission and vision. At PAWS Humane we printed our mission and vision statements on a big sheet of paper. We all signed it and placed it in our lobby for everyone to see. This is what guides everything we do. The mission is what a nonprofit does on a day-to-day basis. The vision is what we hope to achieve. At PAWS Humane our vision is to create a no-kill community and our mission outlines five broad strategies for achieving this goal. It is no accident that the first strategy is to provide high-volume and high quality spay/neuter. Since 2009 PAWS Humane has provided over 45,000 low-cost and free spay/neuter surgeries to the general public. The results of this work have been astonishing. During this period, Columbus Animal Care and Control went from a high of 8,000 annual intakes to 4,000. Everywhere high volume spay/neuter is made accessible a similar outcome has been realized. It works. The next strategy listed is rescue and adoption. Our annual adoptions have increased ever since we opened our doors, with 1,747 animals adopted in 2017. We’re never content to rest on our laurels so next year our goal is 1,800. However, we look forward to the day when spay/neuter has reduced the unwanted pet population to a level where there aren’t so many animals in need of a new home. The PAWS Humane mission also includes providing volunteer opportunities. This helps us raise awareness in our community about the issues of animal welfare. Our volunteers are not only critical to completing our daily work, they are also ambassadors who talk to friends, family, co-workers, and others about our work at PAWS Humane and why we do it. Thanks to generous grants received from the Petco Foundation and Pet Smart Charities, our community outreach has increased this year. When the Best Friends community cat project ended in September, PAWS Humane took it over without skipping a beat. Achieving no-kill is not a realistic goal without a robust trap, neuter, and release program. Just a few years ago, the euthanasia rate for cats in Columbus was a tragic 90%. Today it is below 10% and no cats are ever euthanized for space. Our Pets for Life program is in full swing for 2018. It entails intensive door-to-door canvassing in low-income neighborhoods where the spay/ neuter rate is often less than 15% (national average is 85%). In these neighborhoods 50% - 70% of pet owners have never taken their animals to a veterinarian for anything more than a rabies vaccine, if at all. Not surprisingly, these neighborhoods are exactly where the highest number of animal control intakes come from. If we are successful here we will end pet overpopulation. This work is not for the faint of heart. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication, patience and effort. Those who work in these neighborhoods see animals and people in difficult circumstances but they must be willing to keep coming back for the program to succeed. It requires a love for people as well as animals. Education is the last strategy listed but it’s certainly not the least. We have seen how non-smoking campaigns directed toward our youth have

Certain Women

What a difference a year makes. Last year, the nominations for the Academy Awards prompted the hashtag #OscarsSoMale. This year, there are more women nominated in more categories than ever before, and more films about female characters are up for best picture. But the biggest breakthrough came with Rachel Morrison’s nomination for best cinematography, for Dee Rees’s Mudbound (NF). Morrison (who’s also cinematographer on Black Panther) cast this great American epic of two poor families, one black, one white, bound by a muddy tract of Mississippi bottomland, in a pale, thin light that enhances the film’s literary heft, making it one of 2017’s most poignant and important films. In another breakthrough, film goddess Agnès Varda received the first nomination of her 60-years, 50-film career, for Faces Places, a documentary she made with French artist J.R. To be fair, she was given an honorary lifetime achievement Oscar last year, but still, it’s about time she got a proper bid. If you’re not familiar with Varda’s ouvre, a good place to start is her early masterpiece, Cleo 5 to 7 (K, FS), a story that unfolds in real time from late afternoon (5), when Cleo learns that she might have cancer, to early evening 7), when she receives the results of her medical tests. Varda makes this brief period in between feel like a fulsome life, as Cleo bides her time on the streets of Paris, casually ending a bad relationship with an aloof boyfriend and beginning a new one with someone better. The visuals are stunning throughout, especially in a scene where Cleo shops in a hat store and her reflection is caught in an array of mirrors just as a military brass band marches by. Of course, this banner year for women at the Oscars is set against the backdrop of the #MeToo movement, with scores of lecherous Hollywood predators finally getting their due. A interesting film for this moment is Sex is Comedy (FS), by France’s Catherine Breillat. This cutting satire imagines what it might be like if Harvey Weinstein were a woman. It’s the story of a mean and uninhibited female filmmaker who’s directing a difficult sex scene. She paws all the men on set and belittles them with cruel insults--especially the lead male actor, who spends much of the film entirely naked except for an enormous prosthetic hard on. Meanwhile, the director treats the lead actress with calm respect. It seems a simple conceit, but in Breillet’s hands it leads to surprisingly profound insights about gender, sex and power--and it’s uproariously funny. But if there’s one film tailor-made for this moment of comeuppance, it’s Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (K, FS). One of the most daring and influential films in cinema history, it follows a single mother through a day and a half of her life, as she cooks, cleans, lays out clothes for her son, and turns late-afternoon tricks to make ends meet. These chores are played out in real time, with long shots of Dielman scrubbing, chopping, dusting. As we watch, we lock in with the rhythms of her life, so when small variations start creeping in we begin to realize that she’s going mad, and the suspense is so thick that the film’s three and a half hours seem to go by in a flash. And by the time we reach the film’s stunning conclusion we’re on the edge of our seats, ready to race out and tear down the misogynist hegemony.

group is now rounded out by Justin Belew, known as a wizard multiinstrumentalist who here sings and switches between guitar, mandolin and Highland bagpipes, and Jeremy Bass, “already an award-winning Irish guitarist when he moved to town so a natural fit to come and join the band,” says Payne. Rehearsals started in February 2016 with the first official show to follow that Fourth of July at National Infantry Museum’s Freedom Fest. Though still months from the two-year mark, Wolf & Clover has developed a reputation as a talented ensemble that’s only grown together, with a cohesive synergy that engages the audience live and technical precision needed to play songs in style of their chosen genre. “We’re all classically trained, so that allows us to do a lot of the things that we do,” Payne explains. “We’re all friends outside of the band. There’s a good, laid-back chemistry and we have a lot of fun. Our songwriting process ends up being organic; we’re not tethered to sheet music, so there’s a lot of communication that goes on between us as we play and we give each other a lot of creative license.” This approach, she adds, has allowed the five players “to find our sound as a group and really get everyone in the group agency in what we’re doing. Everyone feels that they belong, that they are important and contribute significantly to what we do. Of the dozen tracks on Wolf & Clover’s self-titled debut album, only two are original compositions, both written by McCabe: the opening blast of pot-of-gold joy “First Avenue South” and a rollicking twist on Will Smith’s hip-hop anthem as part of the medley “First Night in America / Jerry’s Beaver Hat / Will Smith’s.” Covered material includes the country-fried “The Wild Goose” and its emotive, accordion driven tender determination, “Tam Lin / The Bucks of Oramore,” with McCabe’s dance-inducing banjo. Other highlights include Payne’s melodically floating flute intro to “Si Bheag Mhor” and “Blue Sky,” a Dave Matthews Bandtinged pop vehicle for the remarkable vocal prowess of Bennett. In March, Wolf and Clover have two announced gigs: a fundraiser for the Albany Symphony on the 16th and on the 1000 block of Broadway stage 5-6:30 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day (Saturday, March 17). Given its early and considerable success, life and work have Wolf & Clover seeking a balance that serves both a band on the rise and individual lives and careers. (For Instance, Bass, a teacher at RaineyMcCullers School for Fine Arts, will go to Spain for nine months starting in October. Bennett is a teacher and Belew has a steady gig schedule on his own along with his Bibb City Sound recording studio. “We’re looking at booking some festivals,” Payne says of plans for the immediate future, “and just see how that goes. We like to be very intentional in everything that we do.”

Wolf & Clover New Tradition

Hailed by one observer as “magical,”a February concert celebrating the debut album release by local free-folk traditional Irish music quintet Wolf & Clover packed the house and raised spirits. “We expected a good turn out but it was a little surprising,” Stephanie Payne says of the estimated 400 concert-goers squeezing in (and out) of the 350-capacity Legacy Hall at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts. “People were standing out in the hall, out in the foyer, listening. The support was phenomenal.” Meeting mid-afternoon for an interview at Fountain City Coffee—a stone’s throw from her office inside the RiverCenter, where she works as executive director for the Youth Orchestra of Greater—Payne explains that the group originated in a St. Patrick’s Day performance at Trinity Episcopal Church in 2013. “We all had a really good time,” she says. However, Payne’s decision to follow up her degrees in music performance and business administration from Columbus State University with a masters in arts administration from Florida State University, however, hit pause on the concept for a couple of years. Not long after returning to Columbus, Payne was approached by Matt McCabe “about starting an Irish band,” she recalls. Also on that first gig at Trinity, McCabe, an assistant professor of audio technology at CSU’s Schwob School of Music and plays two styles of bouzouki, an anicent Greek-into-Irish stringed

Erin’s life, though, unlike so many who have endured similar struggles, has an upward trajectory. She is clean. “Ms. Ingrid and Judge Jordan, and Richard and Christi [Burdeshaw, who also works at Speakeasy, was the subject of a previous Joint Redemption article, in September] all had a hand in saving me,” Erin said. “I owe my life to them.” Erin said, “there are days when it would be easier to just get high,” but she also remembers just how terrible life can be when lived in the grips of drug addiction. When her father passed away last year, Erin said, “it absolutely broke me.” Still, remembering life as an addict, she had no urge to use again. Jordan Coming out of residential treatment, Erin said, she was lucky. With the structure and challenge provided by people like Ms. Ingrid at Drug Court, friends like Christi, a job waiting for her at Speakeasy, Erin has been able to transition back into society as a sober member of the community. And there was also Richard. “Richard loved me when I could not love myself,” Erin said. Today, Erin and Richard live Erin & Christi Burdeshaw together, with Richard’s son, McKinley, and their four dogs. Next door lives Richard’s ex-wife and two additional children. Hannah, who now lives with her father, visits, too. She still struggles. Always, she said, the memories will haunt her. She fears needing medical treatment and not being able to tell her caregivers that she cannot have narcotics. But Erin stays strong. She knows she has a future for herself, and in addition to working two jobs, she operates a small business, selling make-up. While Erin’s story may verge on the most extreme of cases, the rudiments are not unusual. Currently, our entire nation is struggling with a massive opioid addiction crisis. Erin is not alone, and though her strength and perseverance are a powerful example of our human capacity for overcoming even the most difficult and desperate of circumstances, also evident in her story is the power of institutional support for those suffering from addiction.

strive to improve the already comfortable and inviting tap room.

A DAY AT OMAHA BREWING CO

I

Columbus’s craft beer brewery in Omaha, Ga.

t was the first truly fine day of the year, an unusually warm 77 degrees on a bright February day, when Tyson Anthony, a representative for Omaha Brewing Company, invited us down for a tour of the brewery. After our tour, we sat at a table in the tap

the high ceiling. Stacks of cans, ready to be filled with fresh Omaha beer, are stacked throughout, destined for markets in Valdosta, Columbus, with new markets opening all the time. Omaha’s brewing methods build on centuries of tradition in Germany and Belgium, and with the best ingredients available and a clean, consistent method to boil the beer, with water from the brewery’s on-site well, better beer is hard to come by. Tyson emphasized the importance of the well, which is fed by an underground spring. The artisan spring water has an ideal, stable water chemistry, providing an optimal base for the consistently stellar products. Every time I crack a fresh Hannahatchee at home, I get the same malt and citrus flavors I fell in love with. My second beer in the tap room that day was a Hannahatchee, and maybe my palette is not refined enough to tell, but it tasted only a little better than the Hannahatchee I had that night at home. Sixteen beers are on tap at Omaha. Some, like the Hannahatchee, can be found in Columbus-area businesses. Others, like the Thai One On, with curry, Thai chilis and spices, is available only in the tap room, though the forward thinking would leave with a growler full and enjoy it with Thai carry out from Lemongrass. One of Omaha’s most popular beers, both in the tap room and in stores, is the Nada Banana Bavarian hefeweizen, which boasts huge banana and clove aromas, followed by banana, vanilla and spice flavors, and finishes with a smooth, fruity aftertaste. Dr. Robert Lee is the owner and CFO of Omaha Brewing Company. Stephanie Lee, his wife, is the business manager. Their son, Rob, manages marketing and sales. Omaha Brewing is a model for family owned and operated businesses. Stephanie visited with us for a while. Turns out, the dogs loafing about the tap room were hers, and she wanted to make sure I tell readers that the tap room is dog and kid friendly. Omaha Brewing is not just a place to enjoy delicious beer, thought that’s more than enough reason to visit. Tours of the facility are fascinating, and with frequent events—including live music, food trucks and farmers markets; most recently, they hosted a late-January chili cookoff—Omaha Brewing can be enjoyed by the whole family. The tap room is open Monday through Friday, noon until 8 p.m., and on Saturday from 1 until 9 p.m. For more information, including an interactive map of all locations proudly serving Omaha Brewing beer, visit omahabrewingcompany.com.

room, a spacious retreat whose garage-style doors were open to the patio, admitting a cooling breeze and the several dogs hanging out with us that day. There was no music that afternoon, but Tyson explained how, on Saturday evenings, when artists like Neal Lucas strike up their acoustic sets on the tap room stage, the room handles the sound so well that patrons sitting at the long bar can keep a comfortable conversation. Imagining lazy afternoons and evenings sipping beer in the Omaha Brewing tap room was easy and inviting. This was not my first time enjoying Omaha beers. I fell in love with the Viberations saison at last October’s showing of “Eddie’s Stone Song,” an opera by Scott Wilkerson and James Ogburn, based on the life of the first Pasaquoyan and renown outsider artist Eddie Owens Martin, aka St. EOM; and at my home, I always keep a six pack of the Hannahatchee Creek IPA in the fridge, which guests eagerly savor—even and especially if they claim not to care much for IPAs. But this was my first trip to Omaha, Ga. Without the brewery, this small Georgia town would likely never have caught my attention, and that would have been a shame. Though now most famous for the brewery, Omaha, an unincorporated community of 1,600 people, may seem an unlikely destination; but with Providence Canyon State Park,

home to some of the area’s most striking hiking trails, an easy 17 minute drive away, and with Florence Marina State Park an even briefer 6 minute ride from the heart of Omaha, this little Georgian village is perfectly situated to serve as home base for all manner of out-of-Columbus adventures. Omaha Brewing Company, of course, is where so many of these adventures should begin and end. Omaha Brewing’s main building was built as a school in the late 1940s, renovated in the 90s into an industrial plant, and renovated again in 2013, when Dr. Robert Lee bought the building. Work on the facility continues to this day as Dr. Lee and his team expand production to meet booming demand and tirelessly LocaL

A Trip To

Come with us as we explore the restaurants, shops and offices of Old Town. Afterwards, visit for yourself and fall in love with the nation’s first Southern Living-inspired community, a Charleston-esque retreat that’s fast becoming a Columbus destination.

Coming down the hill of Mrs. Vee’s Park, you will discover an open, spacious patio space, the outdoor seating, meeting and mingling space at Morten’s, Old Town’s fine dining establishment. Chef Morten opened his restaurant in late October of last year, and when we visited the dining room for lunch on Valentine’s Day, the space was at Capacity, with dinner booked solid. Patrons come for a dining experience totally unique to Columbus’s north side. Chef Morten recreates his dinner menu every two weeks, and the lunch menu changes monthly. We enjoyed roasted pork shank with apples, cranberries and almond slaw tossed in apple cider vinaigrette, which pairs the succulent protein with light, tangy flavors on a bed of greens. We also tried the egg roll pastrami Ruben, which is wrapped and deep fried and served on a bed of greens with 1,000 Island dressing, and is both indulgent and interesting, and also a lot of fun to eat. As the weather outside turns increasingly inviting, Chef Morten is excited about hosting events on his wide patio. Look forward to dinners centered around beer and wine selections, dinner with a movie nights, and live music on Friday and Saturday evenings.

The Nation’s First Southern Living-Inspired Community Is An Idyllic Place To Live, Work And Play

ntering Messee Lane at Old Town, a Southern Living-inspired community situated on the west side of Veterans Parkway just north of Moon Road, you’ll first notice on your right the landscaped hill of Mrs. Vee’s Park, named for Virginia Koonce, wife of Burns Koonce who operated a farm on the property. On a clear, bright February day, we met a mother and her two daughters there, playing horseshoes and taking photos. They do not live in Columbus, but every time they come to town visiting family, they stop at Old Town. They love the secluded community feel, they said, the peace and quiet of the place. They have fallen in love with one of Columbus’s best kept secrets, an expanding refuge of cozy apartments, elegant homes and a Main Street stretch of businesses which, as we met the proprietors, we, too, quickly came to love.

D ev i c a Alappan opened her p r a c t i c e , C o l u m b u s Pediatrics, in 2001, in a building across the street from her present location at 1900 11th Avenue. Because so many of her patients live and go to school on the north side of Columbus, Dr. Alappan, looking to better serve her loyal patients, began looking for johnpyle.com a second location for her practice. While visiting Old Town, she saw the potential: a place to live, johnpyle.com work and play, where going to the doctor is a walk around the corner. After three years of planning, Dr. Alappan was able to put her prestigious NCQA accreditation and three Ledger-Enquirer Reader’s Choice Awards on the wall of her new office in Suite F. Dr. Alappan makes the most of her new location, walking to Clean Eatz And Morten’s for lunch, taking family pictures in Mrs. Vee’s Park, and she looks forward to again participating in upcoming Christmas and Halloween events hosted at Old Town.

When Emma Pierce moved from New Orleans to Columbus, she set out to find the perfect location for a new boutique and got lost. As chance would have it, she pulled into Old Town. Emma knew immediately that she had found something unique in Columbus, a secluded enclave with that New Orleans vibe that reminded her of home. River Oak Boutique is also unique, and Emma never tires of watching people’s reactions when they first walk in. This airy shop offers a variety of styles, tending towards the johnpyle.com eclectically chic. In addition to clothes that are on trend without being trendy, River Oak Boutique also offers hand made, one of a kind jewelry by Miss Dawn, who Emma says is “like my grandmother,” as well as soy candles by Hansel & Gretel’s House, which you’ll find nowhere else. Emma is excited about the retail expansion across the street, welcoming the new development to what she calls “its own little world in Columbus.”

Columbus painter Ralph Frank talks about local artists who have inspired him to kick off the first in The LocaL’s new monthly column, “Artist on Artist.” “One thing that I think that anybody that’s an artist needs to understand, is that assisting other artists is just as important as doing your own art and trying to survive at it. One person—still living, anyway—that comes to mind is Butch Anthony. Because when he did the DooNanny, he didn’t ask anybody for any money. He just let all these crazy artistic folks come on to his land and sell their stuff and have this party. After a couple of DooNannys, I came to that realization. I’ve always shared information about my art, my sign painting, with people. I went to learn guitar from this musician, and he said, ‘I ain’t teaching nobody to take work from me.’ I think that’s a really bad attitude. No matter what we do, we should encourage other people who have aspirations to do the same thing. So in that regard, Butch is at the top of the list. I’m, not sure what year he passed, but on a sign-painting level, there Ralph Frank was this old-timer painter, Mr. Pete LocaL

Peebles. He pained all over town, was painting back during World War II; he had his own shop and did his own thing. And he had all these locations—they weren’t commercial locations, but houses—for storage with all this great old stuff. He was a pack rat from hell. One of the last things I seen him do, he was way up on a 40-foot extension ladder, painting a shoe shop where Outside World [Outfitters, 1025 Broadway] is now. He was up there showing me how good of shape he was in—doing deep-knee bends and all this stuff. He was in his 70s at the time. He always had paint all over him and messed-up work clothes, He used to always tell me, ‘You can’t be clean and work!’”

Bitters Make Cocktails Better

T

hanks to interest in craft cocktails in recent years, interest in cocktail bitters has experienced an uptick. Bitters began as medicinal tonics, but were soon ingredients in cocktails. The concentrated formula of bitters required only a few drops to enhance a cocktail. There are two types of bitters: potable, and nonpotable. Potable bitters are those that can be consumed on their own, and are sometimes called an amaro. Nonpotable bitters are those that are made to be added to cocktails by the drop. The easy way to tell the difference between potable and nonpotable bitters is the size of the bottle. If it is in a large bottle, it can be consumed on its own. If it is in a small bottle, usually with some sort of dropper or dispenser, add sparingly to your cocktail. In addition to cocktails, try adding bitters to your favorite recipes, including soups, salad dressings and desserts. The most widely recognized is probably an aromatic bitter. Bitters are made from botanicals, like aromatic herbs, bark, roots and fruit. These ingredients are infused into a flavorless alcohol base to create a potent flavoring. You know how you add salt to almost everything you cook for that extra flavor boost? That’s sort of like what bitters do for cocktails. Probably the second most popular is orange bitters At one time orange bitters were used in a variety of cocktails and were more popular than aromatic bitters. The original cocktail recipe for the classic martini included a dash or two of orange bitters. Other Varieties: [ If orange bitters don’t work with your cocktail, try another citrus fruit- grapefruit or lemon are popular choices. If a citrus fruit isn’t called for, try a stone fruit. Peach bitters, plum bitters or cherry bitters add interest to cocktails or dessert recipes. [ Vegetable bitters are interesting also. Try a celery bitter, or a rhubarb. [ Chocolate bitters: ok, who doesn’t like chocolate? For an interesting twist on a classic cocktail, float a couple of drops on the top of your cocktail. If your cocktail has cherry bitters, orange bitters, or even mint, a couple of drops of chocolate will introduce a whole new flavor profile. LocaL

[ Boker’s bitters: John G. Boker created the bitters in 1828.This was used in cocktails until the turn of the century, when the 1906 U.S. Food and Drugs Act limiting medical claims caused Boker’s and most other bitters producers to cease production [ Aphrodite Bitters: Named for the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite Bitters are made with numerous ingredients which have alleged aphrodisiacal properties. These include Chocolate, Cocoa nibs, Ginger root, Red Chilli, Arabica Coffee and Ginseng. The bitters are handcrafted and bottled by Dr Adam Elmegirab, and they are perfect in a variety of classic cocktails. They are very spicy, with the coffee and chocolate taking the fore, with notes of sultanas, molasses, and charred oak. [ Teapot Bitters: A rum-based bitters from Adam Elmegirab, formulated with tea at the forefront with black tea and yerba mate joined by hazelnuts, citrus peel, vanilla, ginger and more. [ Orinoco bitters: they are flavored by warm spices such as cardamom and cassia bark, floral notes from chamomile, dried fruit flavors from raisins, fragrant aromatic bark like sandalwood and angostura, citrus oils from orange peel, and a bittersweetness from molasses.
