Episode 88: Cocktails with a Twist with Kara Newman

This week we have return guest, New York-based food, wine, and spirits writer Kara Newman on the show. She discusses her sixth cocktail book, an interactive sort of choose your own adventure book called Cocktails with a Twist. We also invent what we think should be a new classic cocktail, talk about babies making martinis, and our love of vermouth, gin and aquavit. 

This week's cocktail:

'Vit & It - served up in a Nick & Nora glass 2 oz Aquavit  1 oz Sweet Vermouth Orange Bitters garnish: Orange twist   Stir the aquavit and vermouth in an ice-filled mixing glass until sufficiently chilled. Add a few dashes of orange bitters. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Twist the orange peel over the glass to extract the oils. Garnish and enjoy.   Kara Newman's Links: Website Twitter Instagram Cocktails with a Twist   Bit by a Fox Links: Blog Instagram Facebook Twitter Podcast Music
