Celebrate National Cognac Day on June 4th by getting to know three unique cognac makers.

Cognac has been making a comeback with United Stated drinkers and for good reason. The French spirit has a unique flavor palette that is not only delightful alone, but a unique ingredient when creating craft cocktails.

In order to be considered a cognac and not another type of brandy, it must be distilled within the designated region surrounding the town of Cognac and it must follow a set of production methods. All cognac must be made from Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche or Colombard grapes, although most are made from Ugni Blanc. The spirit must also be distilled twice in copper pots and aged for a minimum of two years in barrels made from Limousin or Tronçais oak.

From there the spirit is distilled anywhere from two to over 20 years depending on the age expression and brand. Despite the regulations, geographical constraints, and limited ingredients, master distillers across the region create highly unique bottles worth trying. When you’re looking to try your next cognac, try bottles from these three distilleries.

Larsen

This award winning distillers was founded in the 1920’s when founder Jens Reidar developed a passion for the region and its spirits. Currently, only the lines Aqua Ignis expression is available in the US. What makes the line unique is that they use Tronçais oak casks that have been steam toasted. The process is cumbersome — each cask must be submerged in hot water before being toasted over a fire. This process reduces the acidity, smoke, and tannins that usually come from the wood, meaning the resulting spirit is much smoother and sweeter with intense vanilla notes.

Larsen Aqua Ignis Pour

Cognac Monnet

Founded in 1838 by an association of local vineyards the line got its name after being purchased by Jean-Gabriel Monnet in 1897. The company is famous for their “sunny” style cognacs that feature warm, fruity, and strong floral hints. The collection includes a VS, VSOP, XO, and a unique Sunshine varietal. Sunshine features a unique roundness and fruitiness that is simultaneously elegant and accessible. The bright gold liquid has notes of quince jam and spring flowers on the nose with tasting notes of sun-filled summer fruits, gingerbread, and vanilla.

Monnet Sunshine

Cognac Augier

As one of the oldest cognac houses, Augier was founded in 1643 and run by the Augier brothers, quickly becoming one of the biggest cognac producers of the time. In 2015 the line was reborn with three expressions: VS, VSOP, and XO. What makes this line unique is that they blend their line with eaux-de-vies coming from  Oléron Island, which brings notes of salty mineralogy and brine to their finished product. Some say the cognac has an almost tequila like flavor thanks to the salt.

With travel restrictions still causing a lack of adventure, try to take a different approach.

Next time you want to sip some cocktails, choose one of these spirits and explore the flavors of Japan. Japan is and has been a drinker’s paradise for a long time. Dating back many centuries, the people of Yamatai — ancient Japan were known to be excessive drinkers, singers, and dancers. Even today, alcohol plays a key role. Sake is also a central part of their day-to-day lifestyles.

If you ever want to take a drinking tour in Japan, make sure to stock up on these spirits.

Sapporo Beer

One of the oldest beer brands in Japan, Sapporo was founded in 1876. Created by Japan’s first German-trained brewmaster, Seibei Nakagawa, they used the highest quality ingredients for a crisp and refreshing flavor. They offer five different types to choose from: Sapporo Pure, Sapporo Premium Black Beer, Sapporo Premium Beer, Sapporo Premium Light Beer, and Sapporo Reserve Beer.

Sapporo Beer

Hatozaki Japanese Whisky

This Japanese whisky comes in two expressions: Hatozaki Finest Japanese Whisky and Hatozaki Small Batch Whisky. The Finest Japanese Whisky aged up to 12 years in barrels with a minimum malt whisky content of 40%. It has notes of cereal with a light sweetness. Comparatively, the Small Batch Whisky is 100% malt whiskies that is aged in bourbon casks. This one has notes of sweet cereal, dried fruit, smoke, and honey. It makes a great base for a delicious cocktail.

Nikka Whisky

Nikka Whisky

Nobushi Japanese Whisky

This golden-amber blended whisky has a velvety texture. The bottle itself will look stunning on a bar cart, with its abstract designs and clean lines. The whisky has aromas of flowers and fresh fruits with a full-bodied palate of winter spice notes, hints of caramel, and a fruity finish.

Kuro Yokaichi

Kuro Yokaichi is an Shōchū, which is a Japanese distilled beverage from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar. Kuro Yokaichi is distilled from sweet potatoes in a single-distillation process. This process allows for a great complexity of the liquid, giving it a savory and balanced taste that pairs great with lighter meats.

Miyazaki Kinmiya Soju

Packaged in a beautiful bottle that is colors of pale green and yellow, this shōchū is definitely worth a try. Its sweetness comes from being made with sugar cane, and it offers a light experience for the palate. The drink is versatile as it can be drunk at room temperature or made into a cocktail.

Last Call — Chillin’ With EG Daily

You may not know her to look at her, but chances are you have heard EG Daily. She is, after all, one of Hollywood’s most venerable voices, lending her perfect pipes to Rugrats as Tommy Pickles, Froggy in The Little Rascals, the porcine heroine of Babe 2, and the pugnacious Buttercup of The Powerpuff Girls. And perhaps most illustriously, the voice of the lead character Baby Mumble in the Academy-award-winning Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2. Indeed, her IMDB page reads like a grocery list of A-List successes.

But today, the versatile Daily is trading the recording booth for center stage. Releasing her new single Don’t Worry About Me, Daily, who competed on season 5 of The Voice and won a spot on Team Blake, is pushing one of her lesser-known talents to the fore: music. Having produced, composed, and sung on as many as 30 classic film soundtracks, from the gritty Scarface to the seminal The Breakfast Club, to the light-hearted Babe and Rugrats, Daily is one of Tinseltown’s go-to singers for a catchy tune. In a town where laurels wilt in nanoseconds, it pays to diversify.

But Daily is more than just a wannabe chanteuse striving for the spotlight; with almost 40 years in entertainment, she’s already famous. Her established vocal chops placed Daily at the vanguard for the causes most dear to her. The proceeds from Don’t Worry About Me benefits Last Chance for Animals and Tobies Small Dog Rescue. She explains that with the COVID pandemic, animal neglect is on the rise, and in more ways than one; along with actress Kim Basinger, Daily is committed to ending the South Korean dog meat trade.

Chilled sat down with Daily to discuss not only her singing voice but her social one and how the inactivity COVID lockdowns enforce merely moved her creative energies to other fronts (cocktails included).

Chillin’ with EG Daily

Tell us about the projects you are working on.

I did three new music videos during COVID! Don’t Worry About Me is completely for my deep love for animals, and SO Pretty is all about the feelings of having so much pressure to look good and how important it is to work on your inside. The third is a brand new one we haven’t released yet, but soon! Also, I have in post-production a TV pilot called Beverly Hills Broke that I’m in, along with my daughter, Hunter Daily, who will be playing my TV daughter! So fun working with her! I wrapped a movie called The Blonde Experiment, where I play a pop star and social media influencer. And I’m doing lots of learning on how to enjoy and surrender to the major changes that come with being in a pandemic.

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

I love fostering and being of service helping animals! Taking walks and hikes. Hanging out with my daughters. Oh, and organizing! I really love decluttering and organizing things! It makes me happy!

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

I like Nobu in Malibu for the sushi and Crossroads, a vegan restaurant. I love Pace in Laurel Canyon.

What types of dishes do you typically order?

Lots of kale salads! And soups. I like cozy foods, and sometimes I just love a yummy, gluten-free pasta.

Chillin’ with EG Daily

Any favorite bars?                                    

The bar at The Little Door in Los Angeles. It’s magical and tiny but also cozy. I also like the bar at Vibrato, up North Beverly Glen Boulevard. Now with COVID, it’s all outside in a twinkly lot in a cool Airstream. Also Pace, it has a lovely bar. Small and feels really intimate.

What drinks do you order when out? Favorite drink?         

I usually order a nice chardonnay. But if I go to a cool Mexican restaurant, I LOVE a strawberry blended margarita or sometimes a minty mojito.

Do you prepare drinks at home?

No, not really we just crack open a nice bottle of wine usually.

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

Nice wines, a few nice bottles of tequila, a nice Vodka, and a few gift bottles of champagne.

Chillin’ with EG Daily

Have you ever been a bartender?

Yes! We had a family rockabilly and punk club we owned called THE ANTI CLUB! I used to go there and help my mom and sister out at the bar sometimes if I wasn’t playing music.

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

Oprah

What dishes/drinks are you making at home right now during “stay-at-home?”

Soup! A nice broccoli puree or just a nice organic vegetable soup.

How are you coping?

I’m actually finding a lot of amazing revelations during all this. I feel like the need to grind and hustle has calmed down allowing me to be more present and in the moment. I do a lot of self-care. Spend time with my family. I wear a mask. I sanitize and but still, I go out and do my day! I trust this is all kind of a rebirth and also teaching us to enjoy and be grateful for simpler things.

Need an idea of what to drink next? Let your zodiac sign choose for you.  

There’s no worse panic than when the waiter asks what you’d like to drink. The only worse case is quickly ordering a cocktail to find out you don’t like it. Next time you’re in a pickle, try choosing your next drink based on your zodiac sign. If zodiacs can predict your day-to-day life or describe your personality to a T, then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t trust it to choose your beverage.

Some people always order a dirty martini at the bar. It’s their go-to cocktail. Or an Old Fashioned. There might be a reason for that, and it’s all comes down to their zodiac.

Here is what cocktail you should ask your bartender to make next time at the bar.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Who doesn’t love a spicy margarita? Aries sure do. Their fiery personality makes a spicy margarita their go-to drink order. Because of their energetic tendencies, they either order a shot of tequila or a spicy margarita.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus’s are true homebodies — so their cocktail of choice is anything with champagne. The classy and elegant feel of champagne is perfect for their slow and steady lifestyle. A French 75 is always a good choice when choosing a cocktail. The bubbly yet expensive characteristics play into a Taurus’ all or nothing mantra.

Aperol Spritz for Gemini

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Spritz lovers are Geminis! Constantly changing their minds, Geminis like to have something light and not too complicated. An Aperol Spritz is always a good choice, but anything fizzy will do the trick.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The summer babies! The warm weather wouldn’t be the same without a little rosé, which is why Cancer’s gravitate toward a cocktail containing it. Their sensitive nature is the perfect match for a rosé sangria for its soothing and casual drink when hanging with friends.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Leos exude warmth and are interested in the finer things in life. It’s no wonder why they choose a Mezcal cocktail. Mezcals’ smoky properties pair perfectly with their larger-than-life personalities.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Fast-moving Virgos choose something classic and simple when ordering a cocktail: a Vodka Soda. The no-nonsense drink is perfect for Virgos, who are straightforward because they tend to think a mile a minute; the simplicity is a nice change.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libra’s have impressively good aesthetics but are often ones to have trouble making up their mind. Next time you’re at the bar and looking for a drink, Libras, try a simple yet quality cocktail, a Gin and Tonic. The balanced cocktail goes well with a Libra personality because both are strong and have a little spark.

Old Fashioned for Scorpios

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The darker of the Zodiacs love a Manhattan or Old Fashioned cocktail. Enjoying the silence, a little more than others, Scorpios can sit in the bar alone and sip on this classic cocktail. The warm blend of whisky and sweet vermouth represents the mysterious side of a Scorpio.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

A tiki cocktail is a must for a Sagittarius. The friendliest people at the party tend to like a fruity and fun drink. Because they tend to be more of a blunt force, they make a nice match with a strong tiki cocktail that creeps up on you.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

The adult in them makes Capricorn’s order a Dry or Dirty Martini at the bar. They usually are the responsible friend who drinks only one cocktail. Capricorn’s like to sip slowly on something powerful.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

The overthinker of the group wants something that they don’t need to think twice about, and that’s a Paloma. The light and refreshing cocktail allows for easy drinking and taking the edge off without overdoing it.

Red Wine for Pisces

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Pisces are prone to fantasy and can be romantics, which is why when choosing a cocktail, they opt for a glass of red wine. Red wine has a sophisticated feel that attracts a Pisces mature attitude.

Creating a personal brand and following can be incredibly beneficial to improving tips and building up your career in bars – but how does a bartender become unique?

In partnership with Kinky Beverages, we turned to three career bartenders to learn how they developed their behind-the-bar personas and bring you their tips for building your personal brand. For the team at Kinky, being unique has been crucial to their success, which is why they wanted to empower bartenders to be themselves and bring their best to the bar.

Bartender at work

One of the key tips we heard over and over was that doing research, continuing education, and staying curious are all critical for a bartender who wants to stand out. “Pursuing bartending as a craft & not just a job has pushed me,” shared Robert Boughner. In short, while your individual personality and authentic self are important for being behind the bar, there are still skills you need to develop to stand out. Patrick Todd added, “I’ve always been outgoing and really enjoy hearing about the journey of our guests. It’s definitely a skill I’ve worked on improving over the last 10 years.”

Being unique behind the bar has an innumerable benefits, for one it helps you bring regulars in as you develop relationships. And, as Boughner notes, “No matter where you work, in the end we market ourselves.” Whether you’re making friends for life while behind the bar, as bartender Sadiyyah Iddeen does, or creating a community of regular customers, standing out with your work is always worth the time. Todd adds that when putting in the effort to be unique, the extra effort goes a long way, “While most guest may not appreciate or realize the attention to detail, the quality work you do can never be questioned.”

So, how do you go about actually making sure you stand out?

Step 1: From Robert Boughner

“Everyone and every place has something to teach you. Go to every establishment you can, craft, flair, sports, beer, wine, dive, everyone has something to teach you, just watch. You will be surprised how big your bag of tricks can get when you stay open minded.”

Step 2: From Sadiyyah Iddeen

“Being a part of social media groups geared toward this industry. Go to industry parties and events. Read local articles which can help you learn about events and outstanding bartenders in your area.”

Step 3: From Patrick Todd

“Exploring beyond your comfort zone.  Don’t be afraid to try something completely foreign or new to you. Also, never be afraid to ask questions.”

The green goddess, silent for more than 50 years, has something to say.

Brightly colored cocktails to the drink professional, be it the imbiber or the bartender, is a precarious encounter. Take for example the Melontini or the Blue Hawaii, both sticky sweet drinks loaded with artificial coloring and ungodly flavors. Of these flashy drinks, there are a few exceptions to this “bright hue = bad drink” belief. That is, until…

Hello, Last Word.

The Last Word is a strange bird. At first glance, the ingredients don’t make a whole lot of sense: gin, maraschino liqueur, green Chartreuse, and fresh lime juice. Chartreuse and Maraschino, say what? However, it’s an old-timey tipple that feels and looks utterly modern—especially in today’s cocktail trend of liqueurs garnering equal billing with the base spirit.

According to cocktail lore, it was invented at the Detroit Athletic Club sometime in the early 1900s. As proof, a cocktail menu from the club in 1916 lists it for a whopping 35 cents. The bartender who invented or why they invented is veiled like most last words are.

A strange bedfellow to a cocktail’s enduring legacy, vaudeville performer Frank Fogarty is credited for popularizing it in the New York City scene shortly after. Perhaps he first discovered it while performing at the Detroit Athletic Club and worked it into his act. One can only imagine how the Last Word survived those four walls and became popular enough to appear in print a few decades later.

The first record of the Last Word recipe was featured in the 1951 cocktail book, “Bottoms Up,” which includes over 200 drink recipes and 13 risqué illustrations by 12 different artists by Ted Saucier (last name pun for an author of a cocktail book is not lost here). He was a publicist for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

But, the Last Word’s last word could have been eternal, that is, if it wasn’t for Murray Stenson—nearly 50 years since it was immortalized in ink—to corpse revive it. Speaking of, Corpse Reviver #2 cocktail is a riff on the Last Word.

In the early 2000s, Stenson—while tending bar at the Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle—stumbled upon the glowing green goodness in a glass while reading “Bottoms Up.” He added it to the menu, and it became an instant hit. What Fogerty didn’t have in championing the Last Word, Stenson did: the internet and social media.

Quickly, the cocktail went viral. Not only was it easy to make equal parts of each potent ingredient, but it was also a celadon-colored stunner. It appeared on notable denizens’ menus across the country, such as Pegu Club. “A four-way car crash in which no one is hurt, and everyone’s glad they met afterward,” Phil Ward, a former bartender at New York City’s Pegu Club, now the owner of Mayahuel, an agave-spirit bar, described the drink to the Washington Post.

As a nod to the original recipe, which balances such distinctive elements so beautifully, riffs abound. Although tricky to master four-part harmony, experienced bartenders have pulled it off. Take for example Phil Ward’s Final Ward of rye, green Chartreuse, maraschino, lemon, or Paper Plane by Sam Ross (former bartender at Milk & Honey and now Attaboy in New York City) of bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Aperol, lemon.

Who needs a three-way when you’ve got a four-way? May the Last Word and riffs continue to speak for centuries to come.
