Working in New York has opened up a wonderful spell to read and listen and now watch stories, music and all sorts of content. I once gazed in disbelief at people watching movies on the bus with tiny devices they held in their hand, but now thanks to my slick video IPod and the abundance of great content in the ITunes podcast library I have to say I am hooked on video podcasts.
A series I have been enjoying lately features a dynamic woman I consider the undisputed Queen of Cocktails, Alberta Straub. In the predominantly male field of cocktail experts, Alberta stands out as one of the most creative. Her video podcasts are wonderfully entertaining and educational.
Two I enjoyed recently include this one on Alberta's techniques for assembling cocktails.
And one entitled The Flighito where Alberta sticks to the rum but adds a twist to the trendy Mojito. Get ready to muddle with this tasty recipe.
You can see more on ITunes or better yet here on Cocktails on the Fly.
Alberta became an icon of at the Orbit Room in San Francisco, "The Alice Waters of booze' brings humor, fresh concoctions and attitude to the job" SF Gate. She now hails from Chicago where she has embarked upon a career as a video star. "Alberta Straub redux" The Handy Shake
Some might claim that the queen of cocktails is 21-year-old Zheng Wen from Beijing. Four years ago she was the youngest champion ever of the New Millennium Bartender Competition.
I don't agree. I vote or rather bow down as a loyal subject to Queen of Cocktails, Alberta Straub.
