Inspiration in drinks featuring Alex Kratena
Innovative and inspirational are the words that spring to mind when we think about the contents of this week’s episode. Here’s why…
Our products are Savoia Orancio, a delicious, new aperitivo and the first to be made with an orange wine base. While beautifully reimagining what a premium pink gin can be is Shivering Mountain.
The book we’re championing is Welcome Home from the bright minds at Death & Co, New York – highly recommended for bartenders and home-tenders alike and we head over to the heart of Soho to drop into the recently- opened Atelier Coupette, a creative hub with an alternative take on exploring cocktails.
As for our guest he’s the embodiment of innovation, and an inspiration to drinks professionals all around the world – it's the amazing Alex Kratena. In this episode, the co-founder of award-winning bar Tayer + Elementary talks to us about his time at Artesian bar, why he loves collaborations and his latest project, Tayer Studios.
