 Few people I know care about the quality of their craft more than my friend Dre Today, he's agreed to sit down with me to share a few new recipes and talk about his passion for making cocktails I feel like every time I have a drink like this that I can really taste like everything that went into making it Getting that from anyone who sits on the other side of my bar. That's what it's about for me to me the mark of a quality maker is someone who really cares about and puts a premium on all of the ingredients that go into what they're making definitely there's No grit. No glory. You work hard to try to understand what what it is you're doing and there's there's enjoyment to be had from that So for you it's just getting to share little bits of that with other people when you're trying to come up with a new Recipe for a drink. How much does finding the right ingredient play into that? Finding the right ingredients is key and that's where like the background work really comes in sometimes you're just Really excited for one ingredient you already have and you have to seek out other ones So that kind of becomes part of the experimentation process One of the things I love most about getting to make cocktails for others is getting to work with Products created by people who have the same passion that I do I can just remember getting to put my first drink on a menu that excitement hasn't gone away
