Homes Away From Home with Jenz

In keeping with this travel laden season, we sit down with our Producer Jenz to discuss the traveler's staple - hotel bars. From their surprisingly deep connections to the spread of the cocktail, to their role as a quiet place to rest during a long trip, we talk about all the good and bad of these institutions!

Cocktails Discussed:

Royal Highball

1 oz. Leyrat VS Cognac

4 hulled strawberries

4 oz. Brut Cava

Adapted from A Drinkable Feast by Phillip Greene

Muddle the strawberries and cognac in the bottom of a mixing glass. Pour into a highball glass filled with ice, and top with Cava. Garnish with an additional strawberry, and serve.
