Summer drinks from CT's best mixologists

Three of the state's best mixologists join Chef Plum in studio to talk about seasonal drinks, both spirited and zero-proof, as we slide from spring into summer. Guests make, taste, and give the backstories of the cocktails from their bar menus they're most excited about right now.

GUESTS:

  • Tim Cabral: Restaurateur and a co-owner and bartender at Ordinary in New Haven and Bar Piña in Hartford. His new restaurant Gioia opens this summer in Wooster Square, and he’s also a founder of New Haven Cocktail Week.
  • Jade Ayala: Bar Manager and Beverage Director
    at both Oyster Club and The Port of Call in Mystic.
  • Justin Morales: Founder of Up N’ Down Rock and Bourbon and the general manager and a hospitality instructor at Fire By Forge in Hartford.

DRINKS INSPIRATION:
We have several “drinks of summer” from recent cocktail cookbooks that our producers pored over! There are Blueberry Lemonade Margaritas, a Blackberry Faux-jito, Moscow Mule Popsicles and drinks in “cocktail pouches” from Trap Kitchen’s Street Cocktails book...lots of fun recipes you might want to try for a party or a night in.

This show was produced by Robyn Doyon-Aitken, Catie Talarski, Meg Dalton, Katrice Claudio, Stephanie Stender, Meg Fitzgerald, Tagan Engel and Sabrina Herrera.
