This week is our second installment of the Bartender
Series - The Master Blend. In collaboration with
Bertoux Brandy, the Bit by a Fox Podcast will host a series of
interviews with some of America’s most acclaimed and innovative
bartenders. This second interview is with Yael Vengroff, one of the
most decorated young bartenders out there. While she
runs the award winning cocktail program at The Spare Room in the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, she has her hands in a number of
other LA bars, and still makes time to feed her love of dancing and
movement. We discussed the importance of body mechanics in her
personal and professional life, and how creating a strict
sense of structure actually helps to free up her wild child
creativity.

2 oz BERTOUX Brandy
.74 oz Lemon Juice
.75 oz Chinese 5 Spice Syrup
