Episode 15: Kala Maxym & Song & Tonic

For this week’s episode I spoke with Kala Maxym, A professionally-trained opera singer and the Founder and Chief Event Composer of Five Senses Tastings, an LA-based event experience that pairs live music with a wine. Kala and I have recently joined forces to create a similar events company around cocktails and music called Song & Tonic. We discussed her musical beginnings, what drew her to the wine world, and how we eventually came together to form Song & Tonic.    This week's recipe:   La La Lemon Drop 2 oz Vodka (preferably The Spirit Guild’s Vapid Vodka) 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon of lemon curd 2 fresh basil leaves (preferably wild black sage which is indigenous to California)   Add the vodka, lemon juice and lemon curd to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake until well chilled. Strain into an icy cold coupe glass, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.    links:  Feastly LA Event Info   Five Senses Tastings Song & Tonic Hundred Miles LA The Spirit Guild   Song & Tonic Social Links: Instagram Facebook   Bit by a Fox: blog: http://bitbyafox.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitbyafox/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BitByAFox/ twitter: https://twitter.com/bitbyafox   music: https://www.humanworldwide.com
