The Master Blend: A Bartender Series - Nicolas Torres

Nov 15, 2019

This week, we’re continuing our Bartender Interview Series, The Master Blend - a collaboration with BERTOUX Brandy. This bi-weekly series of interviews will have each bartender discuss their distinct style, biggest inspirations, and how they’re making their mark on today’s cocktail culture. This week’s guest is Nicolas Torres, owner and bar director at popular San Francisco bar True Laurel. We spoke about what it takes to create a sustainable cocktail bar, the California influence on True Laurel, and the lighter direction the drinks industry as a whole is taking.

.75 oz. Corn Cob infused BERTOUX Brandy
