What’s shakin, cocktail fans?
Happy 2020 and welcome to Episode 130 of The Modern Bar Cart Podcast!
As the title of this episode suggests, Eric has decided to take a dry January – a few weeks away from alcohol – just to give his body a little reset for a month or so. He’s joined in this recording by Modern Bar Cart co-founder Ethan Hall, and together they look at some of the strategies and implications for taking a dry January, as well as a few little projects you can do to make it more interesting for your palate.
