Flaming Jäger, Zucchini Trauma, and Highball Physics

Dave’s back and right into the weeds: rebuilding the legendary Flaming Jägerdemo, why modern rotovapcontrollers finally saved bartenders’ wrists, and how to keep a Japanese-style whisky highball lively with a little poly-dextrose science. Along the way we detour through lifelong zucchini trauma(and the rare preparations that redeem it), eggplant lore, and the eternal martini question—stirred, shaken, or thrown.

Plus, Nastassia’s LA dinner parties just got tapped as Esquire’s Best—and yes, there was a fruit omakase.
