Drinks by three St. Louis Bartenders named among 101 best new cocktails of 2012
May 23rd 10:05am, 2012
Congratulations to three area bartenders whose drinks were selected by bartending legend Gaz Regan to be among the 101 Best New Cocktails of 2012. Ted Kilgore of Taste by Niche, TJ Vytlacil of Blood & Sand and Joel Clark of Sanctuaria each submitted drink recipes that impressed Regan enough to make the final cut.
While the cocktails themselves have yet to be announced, the list of the bartenders who concocted these tasty beverages is posted on the Ardent Spirits website that Regan hosts. Each of the winning drink recipes will be published in Gaz Regan’s 101 Best New Cocktails 2012, which should be available in mid- to late June. Regan has written a bevy of beloved cocktail books including The Bartender’s Bible, The Joy of Mixology and The Bartender’s Gin Compendium.

Thanks so much for your kind words, and for the shout-out. One small correction: The recipes are not in this year’s Annual Manual for Bartenders, the 2012 compilation of my 101 Best New Cocktails are gathered together in a book all their own. It sould be availableby mid- to late June. Thanks.
