Kate Drummond is a well sought-after actress born and raised in Ontario, Canada.

Her work spans across numerous genres including film, television, stage, and video games. In exchange for the extensive effort she poured into the perfection her craft, Drummond has racked up a plethora of honorable achievements—one of them a nomination for a Canadian Screen Award.

To name another, her role as Claire Porter in the award-winning film Nowhere to be Found/Secrets in a Small Town secured herself an Achievement in Acting Award.

Prior to her days as an actress, Kate’s career started as an elementary school teacher. The transition she made from instructor to entertainer instilled in her the comprehension that any dream, no matter how far-fetched, always has potential to come to fruition. Her passion towards this very concept has persuaded her to convey it to the masses. For instance, Kate was the keynote speaker at TEDx in Oshawa, Canada, where she presented her motivational story of dream chasing and finding new beginnings. The presentation garnered over half a million views and established world-wide connections with  people who share a common will to endlessly strive to achieve their strongest ambitions.

Currently, Kate can be seen starring in the new hit genre bending sci-fi series Utopia Falls, a coming of age story that follows a group of teens in the distant future colony of New Babyl as they uncover an ancient forbidden archive of historical relics. In the series, Kate plays the clever, cunning, and manipulative Authority Phydra, who is devoted to upholding the law, order, and above all- the status quo. Utopia Falls also features the voice of Snoop Dogg and music from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Alessia Cara, Jessie Reyez, Daniel Caesar, Notorious B.I.G. and more.

Chilled sat with Drummond to learn about what’s on her project agenda, and the types of food and drinks she fancies.

Chillin’ With Kate Drummond

Tell us what projects you are working on?

Currently, I can be found playing fan-fav villain, Agent Lucado, in the People’s Choice Award winning show Wynonna Earp as well as in the true story, Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story.

Coming up, I’m in pre-production for a lovely film called Healing Hearts that’ll take me to Utah and I’m very excited about that.

With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your down time?

I value my down time greatly and spend a lot of it outdoors hiking with Zelda, my rescued street dog from Mexico. I also love to find little black box theatres and live music venues that are intimate and feature up and coming artists. When at home, I’m curling up in front of the fireplace with a good book or watching TV of course.

When you go out to eat, where do you like to dine?

I don’t really have one favorite restaurant but love to find little hidden gems: the mom and pop diners etc.

What types of dishes do you typically order?

Anything gluten-free! It’s hard having allergies to foods, but so many restaurants are getting creative with their dishes and I’m finding more and more variety these days. I’m not limited to just salad anymore!

Any favorite bars?

Chocolate bars… And the bars where music is live, the vibe is chill, and I can carry on a conversation with people.

What drinks do you order when out?

When I do drink, I love a good glass of red wine.

Chillin’ With Kate Drummond

Do you prepare drinks at home?

I prepare a lot of coffee at home. We’re not big drinkers so the most exciting we’ll make is a gin and tonic and that’s usually for a guest.

Tell us about your home bar. What is it stocked with?

Red wine—various kinds, from all regions, some limited edition bottles, and some old rums from past trips to Cuba and the Dominican. Vintage!

Have you ever been a bartender?

Yes, accidentally. I got a job at this tiny restaurant in Toronto when I first moved here and didn’t realize that not only was I serving food and taking orders, but that there was no one there to make the drinks that I ordered!  I quickly found this bartending app on my phone and ended up learning as I went. Turns out my Caesars were a hit and even made a “Top Caesar” list in the area!  Funny thing is that I’ve never even tried a Caesar. I don’t like them!

If you could share a drink with anyone, who would it be?

My Grandma Franz who passed when I was 13. She loved a good Dirty Martini and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. I’d like to share one with her and ask her so many questions. I’d also want Freddie Mercury there.

As an ongoing initiative, we’ve launched a new series called Keep Your Spirits Up—geared toward bringing bartenders useful and helpful information centered on wellness, professional development, and overall assistance during this difficult time.

The world’s social climate, “social distancing,” has become our reality. With bars, restaurants, and all social venues cutting capacity to zero, industry workers are left without an income. Still, bartenders are a resilient bunch. We asked Chilled 100 member, bar owner of Milwaukee’s Lost Whale, Tripper Duval how to combat stress during this time of uncertainty.

Milwaukee’s Lost Whale Bar

“For most of us, stress is related to time, money, or other people,” explains Duval. “Especially being a bar owner, during ‘normal’ business operations, it’s an all-day, everyday stress bomb—from taking care of my employees to my guests. Now, after spending years finding ways to make sure I have returning guests and happy employees, the world has changed.”

Currently, Duval, his business partner Daniel Beres, and general manager JC Cunningham are working diligently at Lost Whale attempting to make the best out of their current situation. “We are cleaning, and finding ways to adjust our business plan to stay open and generate revenue,” he says. “We have opened a “to-go” window at Lost Whale to offer home cocktail kits, growlers, and batched cocktails in dusty, vintage bottles we’ve been hanging on to.”

Milwaukee’s Lost Whale

For Duval, he tries to combat his stress levels by talking about his stressors with co-workers, friends, and family. “I will try to communicate my issues, and I find most of the time, I have misread a situation or there was a missing link in the chain that needs to be resolved. Or, there was a solution to my problem that I didn’t think of. Otherwise, I do a lot of breathing and trying to put myself in other people’s shoes. It helps me with clarity and how my overall reactions need to be handled.”

Given the current situation bartenders might feel an extra strain because of forced isolation. “Right now, I am checking with friends and family via face time,” says Duval. “I am also trying to catch up on some sleep and going for runs. I appreciate going for a drive or a walk to feel less isolated.”

“My biggest piece of advice is to stay active if you can. Call and send letters to your local legislators to enact and support your local communities. Get creative to find financial support, have online happy hours or face time loved ones. This is an unprecedented time to be alive and staying positive is critical.”

Stress levels rise in a time of extreme uncertainty, and we are all certainly there. Now more than ever, it’s important to keep stress levels down and immune systems up.  Here are some quick tips:

1. Stay connected: Keep in touch with people via email, phone calls, and face time. Catch up on emails, speak with your employers, and if your bar or restaurant is offering delivery or curbside pick up, help out and bring home a salary for as long as possible.
2. Exercise, eat well, and sleep: With all the evidence that daily exercise can help promote feelings of wellness—and boost your immunity—now’s a great time to tap into online exercise classes. Go for a walk, bike ride, or run. Also, eating well can improve your outlook. Studies show that a diet rich and fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein help reduce inflammation and anxiety. Catch up on sleep.
3. Continue to Work: Online professional development classes for bartenders, online certifications, learning to mix new and classic cocktails, reading up on the latest news and techniques in the field, watching online seminars and stories about brands, and reading industry-centric books will help hone your craft and ensure preparedness when it’s time to return to work.

Bargain basement whiskeys have a bad reputation for a good reason: many of them are just plain rotgut.

That said, there are some mighty fine sipping whiskeys that go for less than most bottles of above average table wine. The bargains begin with two staples, each with its own legion of devoted fans: Jim Beam (White Label) and Evan Williams (Black Label).

Evan Williams ($13)

A bit stronger (86 proof), a bit older (5 to 7 years) and a bit cheaper ($13 for a fifth bottle), than Beam. I see Evan Williams as having more character, but that is because I think of Beam as my benchmark for what bourbon is supposed to be. Once you get past Beam and Evan Williams, the two best-selling bourbons on the market, four more bottles catch my eye as offering great bang for the buck:

Evan Williams

Larceny ($23)

Made from Heaven Hill’s wheated bourbon mash bill, this is the entry-level expression for a series of whiskeys that culminate in ambrosia bottlings like the recently released Old Fitzgerald 15 Year Old Bottled in Bond Bourbon. Using wheat in place of the more traditional rye as the flavoring element in the bourbon grain recipe, it has a softer and more floral flavor profile.

Larceny

Old Forester Rye ($23)

Introduced in 2019, this is arguably the best bang for your buck rye whiskey on the market today. They chose to buck the traditional style of Kentucky ryes, which call for just enough rye in the mash to qualify, for a 65% rye, 20% malted barley and 15% corn recipe. This meant the spirit was not only quite spicy, but also malt-forward and so also brought out more of the yeast-derived flavor, such as the banana one often gets from Old Forester bourbons.

Old Forester Rye

Old Granddad Bonded ($25)

As the time-honored, go-to premium expressions have become more expensive or scarcer on store shelves, many whiskey fans have turned to the bottled in bond classics. Old Granddad Bonded comes from the same “high rye” mash bill as Basil Hayden, but packs that lighter, dryer, spicier goodness in the stronger 100-proof format mandated by the bottled in bond standard.

Old Granddad Bonded

Wild Turkey 101 ($22)

The signature of living legend distiller Jimmy Russell, “WT 101” is an incredible bargain. It’s about 6- to 8-years-old and bottled at a hefty 101-proof, and where other standard bearing brands are usually (but not always) a little cheaper, they are also a little less mature and bottled at 80- to 86-proof. Wild Turkey 101 is as reasonably priced as properly matured, strong bourbon whiskey gets.

For the past 38 years, Virginia has been the host of one of the most stringent wine competitions in the United States.

In February, 868 Estate Vineyards won first place in the 2020 Governor’s Cup with their 2017 Vidal Blanc Passito.

Virginia is the sixth-largest wine region in the United States, and because of its geographical location between Europe and California, it is not tied down to one signature grape. This makes the wines unique in variety, which makes Virginia the perfect spot to hold a competition for the best of the best.

2020 Governors Cup Case Wines

For this competition within a competition, 19 world-class judges sample over 530 wines from more than 100 wineries made with fruits solely sourced from Virginia. Ratings use a 100-point scale to determine the highest-scoring wines to be awarded with bronze, silver, or gold medals. The top ranked wines earn a spot in the Governor’s Case, while the wine with the highest score becomes the winner of the Virginia Governor’s Cup.

2020 Governors Cup Case Wines

Jay Youmans, one of only 51 Masters of Wine (MW) in the United States, was the lead in the judging panel this year.

In this year’s case, there is wide representation from most regions in Virginia, especially Central Virginia with eight wines included. Also, two wines are from Northern Virginia and two are from Shenandoah Valley. 868 Estate Vineyards is the first winner whose wine is made from entirely Loudoun County fruits.

2017 Vidal Blanc Passito

This year’s winner, 2017 Vidal Blanc Passito, is a dessert wine by Carl DiManno, President and winemaker at 868 Estate Vineyards. It was carefully crafted using the ‘appassimento’ technique, which keeps the natural grape sugar in the final product by halting the fermentation process early.

Here are the other 11 wines that won a spot in the 2020 Governor’s Cup Case

Afton Mountain Vineyards Tradition (2017)

Barboursville Vineyards Octagon (2014)

Barboursville Vineyards Vermentino Reserve (2018)

Delaplane Cellars Williams Gap (2017)

Lake Anna Winery Tannat (2017)

Michael Shaps Wineworks Meritage (2016)

The U.K.’s fastest growing independent alcoholic drinks company, Halewood Wines & Spirits, has appointed Winebow to distribute its latest two brands launched in the United States – Crabbie’s Yardhead Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey.

“We are pleased to be working with Winebow in the United States, and with its industry expertise, there’s no doubt that both Yardhead and Peaky Blinder will soon become brands that everyone wants to experience,” – Jorge Gutierrez, managing director, Americas & Caribbean at Halewood

Crabbie’s Yardhead Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Both Yardhead and Peaky Blinder have unique personalities and are sure to stand out on a back bar or retail shelf. Yardhead Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Highland malt that breaks the scotch mold. Tt will resonate with a younger brown spirits drinker eager to explore the world of single malt scotch whisky.

The Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey is a brand named after the original Peaky Blinder Gang—a rogue urban street gang based in Birmingham, England. The gang existed from the end of the 19th century through the beginning of World War I. The rough gang sprang from the harsh economic conditions of working-class Britain and was made up of mostly young men from the lower to middle-classes, many of Irish heritage.

Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey

“We are extremely proud to announce this partnership with Halewood Wines & Spirits,”
– Richard Driscoll, Executive Vice President, Supplier Relations at Winebow

“Their team and track record of quality distillates and innovation align perfectly with the goals and growth trajectory of our company. These spirits embody the intention, quality, and price-to-value ratio that we are known for with our partners and consumers in market.”

Far too many pubs serve the typical St. Patrick’s Day cocktail specials including Irish Coffee, Boilermakers, or Irish Car Bombs.

Here are four ideas that get away from those drinks and the tired stand-bys of green beer and Guinness. For more cocktail recipes to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day check out our Irish Spirits hub here.

Milk Punch

Although most folks associate New Orleans with the French, not the Irish, the city is typically American in having its own rich Irish heritage. Inside the Irish Cultural Museum, the St. Patrick’s Coffee House serves its Margaret’s Milk Punch exclusively on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s named for Margaret Haugherty, a mid-19th Century Irishwoman who was both an orphan and then a widow, but endured to become a wealthy businesswoman, and who set up a dairy specifically to supply orphans with free milk.

Margaret’s Milk Punch

Margaret’s Milk Punch

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. whole milk
• 1/2 oz. heavy cream
• 1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey (preferably Bourbon barrel conditioned)
• 1/2 oz. light brown Louisiana sugar cane simple syrup
• Vanilla
• Ground cinnamon
• Cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Preparation: Fill 10 oz. glass with ice, then add the ingredients and stir. Then garnish with cinnamon stick.

Spiked Tea

A love of tea is pretty much universal, not just in Britain, but Ireland too. Moreover, mid-March is still a pretty chilly time of year for most people, so bar manager Hilary Mathiau of Sturbridge Brewery in Sturbridge, Massachusetts has built on hot chai for her St. Paddy’s cocktail. “It’s a perfect soothing, relaxing drink on a cold winter evening,” says Hilary.

Spiked Vanilla Chai

Spiked Vanilla Chai

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz. Irish Whisky
• 1 oz.  Bailey’s
• 1/2 oz. Crème De Cocoa
• Warmed vanilla chai tea
• Ground cinnamon
• Cinnamon stick
• Anise

Preparation: Build in the glass, top with whipped cream, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, cinnamon stick, and anise.

Beer Cocktails

Being in Massachusetts, Mathiau of Sturbridge Brewery has more than the average amount of call for Irish-based and –themed drinks, so she also developed Tasha’s Twisted Tail, which calls on those two Irish pub drinking staples: whiskey and stout.

Tasha’s Twisted Tail

Tasha’s Twisted Tail

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey
• 1 oz. RumChata
• 6 oz. Rapscallion Coffee Stout
• Cream
• Anise

Preparation: Build in glass, stir, garnish with cream and anise and serve.

Barrel-Aged Classic Riff

Finally, you can’t go wrong by reaching for Jameson and putting a riff on a not-Irish classic. Given that the regular Jameson is so familiar, though, one way to take the riff to the next level is to choose one of the many premium Jameson expressions. This version of the Old Fashioned relies on Jameson Black Barrel, a whiskey (a major bang-for-your-buck bottle). Compared to regular Jameson, it has a larger proportion of pot still whiskey in the blend, and it is aged in (the namesake) double-charred ex-bourbon barrels.

Black Barrel Old Fashioned

Black Barrel Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey
• 1/4 oz. Benedictine liqueur
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 dashes orange bitters
• Orange slice

Preparation: Fill a glass with ice. Add the whiskey, Benedictine and bitters. Stir until mixed and chilled. Strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with orange slice.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak leading to service industry closures across the country, Chilled will keep the bartending community up-to-date on information about financial and medical assistance being made available.

We will list emergency funding and relief offered to bartenders and bar owners during these trying times, as soon as the information is presented.

Aid For Bartenders During Bar Closures for COVID-19

The United States Bartenders Guild has set up a National Charity to offer emergency relief to help bartenders. To qualify for relief from the USBG National Charity Foundation, applicants do not have to be a USBG member to apply for the grants, but they do need to be a bartender experiencing emergency hardship. The USBG is also currently collecting donations. To donate, click here, and if you are a bartender seeking assistance, click here.

For those affected in the foodservice industry, the Restaurant Workers Community Foundation is also creating a Restaurant Workers’ COVID19 Crisis Relief Fund as well as a Resource Page to provide information on how to receive assistance or to find ways to assist.

Chilled has been working over the past two years to provide affordable health insurance coverage to our Chilled 100 members. To help bartenders facing hardship during this crisis, at this time, we will be opening this assistance to all bartenders. Stay tuned for additional information.

In the state of California, “If your employer has reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you can file an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim,” the EDD says on its website. “UI provides partial wage replacement benefit payments to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are not required to seek work each week.”

We remain hopeful that this health situation will come under control and that bartenders will be able to return to work, and we can all gather once again as a community and find a new normal.  We will continue to update this post as information becomes available.

If there’s anyone who knows how to run a profitable bar that fires on all cylinders, it’s Sunny Saha.

With a background in both working and helming food and beverage programs in a range of luxury hotels across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Hawaii, Saha is currently the director of food and beverage at California’s towering InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. Located 1,100 feet above street level, the hotel’s range of bars and eateries boast awe-inspiring views of the City of Angels below, whether from its expansive 70^th-floor Lobby Lounge, lush steakhouse La Boucherie or polished sushi spot Sora.

Sunny Saha

According to Saha, the secret to increasing profits always starts with customer relations. “It’s so important to provide consistently friendly guest services and maintain high employee morale as the two go hand in hand,” he explains. “When your employees are happy, they’re able to provide a more genuine, enjoyable experience for the guest.” It’s a facet that Saha stresses, noting that the hotel has decidedly “placed emphasis on our customer service and staff morale which our customers have definitely noticed. Positive guest experiences with both the staff and the beverages leads to repeat business.”

Profilt Driviing Tips

Another key concern is the general quality of the product, with Saha noting one misconception, is that utilizing less expensive products will lead to higher profit. “This is simply not the case,” he explains. “Higher quality cocktails will lead to more sales which will, in turn, generate more profit. It’s always in the venue’s best interest to invest that extra funding into better quality ingredients.”

According to Saha, an additional piece of the puzzle lies in sustainability. “Being sustainable absolutely boosts profits,” Saha points out. “Guests across the globe are more ecologically and health aware than they have ever been before. If your offerings are healthier and more sustainable, you’ll likely end up with a larger market share.”

Profilt Driviing Tips

And in Saha’s vast experiences, there’s another recurring downfall that can happen just as the bottle hits the glass. “Throughout my years, I’ve also seen quite a bit of over-pouring,” he says. “It’s just another common form of monetary waste.”

Sunny Saha’s Quick Tips to Driving Profits at the Bar

Keep Your Employees Happy: to ensure guests have a genuinely fun and authentic experience and return for more, be sure your employees feel well attended for and satisfied in their workplace.

Don’t Cut Corners: Higher quality products will generate more sales, in turn increasing profits.

Become Sustainable: Using the latest Zero-Waste tactics at your bar will draw in more mindful customers and generate less monetary waste.
