Ted Wilson
Personal Mixologist (Retired)
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.
- Pearl Buck
Today’s cutting-edge mixology began over 30 years ago with the rediscovery of America’s pre-Prohibition golden age of classic cocktails. Reviving those classics gave us new ways to enjoy old drinks. They also cleansed our palates in preparation for the spread of today’s finely crafted cocktail innovations. Without yesterday, there can be no today. Without today, there is no tomorrow. History is the path to the future.
I may be retired, but I’m still mixing, still discovering, still learning. Make me an offer that will give me a break from the grueling leisure of this retired life. Let’s call this new role …
The Cocktail Kibitzer
Like the crotchety old curmudgeon who sits on the park bench and comments about everything, I can still kibitz about cocktails.
- You want an opinion, a few thoughts, a suggestion or two?
- You want a special cocktail for an upcoming event?
- You want just enough training so you can show your corner barkeep up?
- Are you the corner barkeep that just got shown up by that crank down the street?
If I’m not doing anything else, maybe I can come around and give you a hand.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future.
To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
- John F. Kennedy
