This year, let guest teacher Harper Fendler, who’s the Cocktail Resident at Food52 and bartender at the celebrated bar Room for Improvement, teach you four winter variations on cocktails. Plus, each of these drinks illustrates essential techniques you need in home mixology. First, Harper expands the complexity of a traditional Bee’s Knees by using two spirits distilled from honey. You’ll get comfortable with a dry shake, fine strain and marbling your bitters. Then, don’t throw out jam jars: we’ll use one to build a Negroni—where you’ll see how the fruitiness of a little jam balances the powerful florals of bitter liqueurs—and another to make Harper’s Tom Cat Bramble, which employs a homemade simple syrup infused with the flavors of mulled wine. We wrap up with an inspired version of a Paloma. As you make it, you’ll learn to infuse your own tequila, choose the right ice for every drink, execute a perfect spiced rim and batch cocktails for all your parties from now through New Years.
