Bar Talk With Derek Brown: 8 Questions We Asked Behind The Bar
 When did you know that you were going to make a career out of drinking?

“If I had known I could drink for a living I might have skipped college, truthfully. Glad I didn’t though because alcohol has a marvelous way of telling the story of humanity. The first bartending job I got led me down a rabbit hole of great cocktails, great spirits and the stories behind them. That was some ten years ago and I haven’t looked back since.”

What kind of training does a mixologist get?

“One of my mentors once said the best way to learn is: “Read a little and drink a lot.” I’ve gladly obliged. Much of it is self learned, but I also have studied with great bartenders along the way such as Dale Degroff as part of the Beverage Alcohol Resource (BAR) program.”


What’s the best bottle you have at home right now?

“The best bottle I have is empty. It was the Nebuchadnezzar of Champagne (that’s a bottle that fits 20 bottles) that was served at my wedding. We kept it as a memento. It needed two people to open and served 100 people.”

What’s the next big trend in mixology you can share with us first?


“Fortified wines, especially vermouth. In the United States we think of vermouth as a old lady drink when it’s a very common aperitif drink in Spain, France, and Italy. It’s one of the most consumed beverages in Europe. Other than that, expect Rye Whiskey to continue to grow as a category of American Whiskey.”


How would you describe the Lost Boys cocktail?

“It’s a drink that’s both primitive with it’s smoky, earthy qualities and still refined in it’s delivery. It’s like having a camp fire in the middle of five-star hotel.”

Three words that describe your sense of style.

“Classic, simple but urbane. Just like cocktails. To me, it’s about clothes that look good in any era.”


What’s the best pick-up line you’ve ever overheard?


“OK, this was amazing. The guy started with a card trick. He made seven piles out of a deck of cards and asked the girl to shuffle each pile. After, he lifted the top cards and revealed that it was his phone number.”

And finally, behind the bar, what’s your favorite curse word?

“The best one, f**k. Sorry, it’s just so versatile.”
