Robert Simonson writes about cocktails. A lot. He’s cemented himself as a senior cocktail scribe for publications like the New York Times, Imbibe, Punch and Muck Rack since first stumbling across Tales of the Cocktail in 2006, just as the cocktail renaissance was gathering steam. He’s also got three books about drinks to his name: The Old Fashioned, A Proper Drink and 3-Ingredient Cocktails, some of which chronicle the history of the drinks in question and some of which focus more on the recipes themselves. In September, he’ll be releasing his fourth book on the topic: The Martini. And in our Free Pour segment, we head to Kansas City to speak to one of the most decorated bartenders and hospitality professionals you can find. Ryan Maybee owns cocktail haunt Manifesto, The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange and now a distillery, J. Rieger & Co.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
