Why and how we experience historical \u201cechoes\u201d in the cocktail world, and how these echoes can help connect us - at least in spirit -  with our tipsy ancestors. The importance of names and definitions in the cocktail world- both for the original cocktail and all the variants that spun off through the ages. Then, we get a little funky - we talk about what grows on the graves of dead Virginians, who\u2019s about to take a hatchet to Derek\u2019s bar, and the merits of a TGI Friday\u2019s caesar salad. During this interview, we laugh, and we cry. We daydream about what Edgar Allan Poe liked to drink before he died in a puddle, and then we share our most embarrassing book errors and widely published typos.
