Katie Emmerson (Bar Manager at The Hawthorne, Boston)
Hometown:
Brockport, NY (near Rochester)
Experience:
Opening bartender, now Bar Manager, at The Hawthorne. Before that I was at Death and Co, Raines Law Room and Lantern's Keep in New York.
Favorite Classic Cocktail:
Manhattan- specifically a bourbon Manhattan served up with a cherry. This was the first classic cocktail that I fell in love with before I tumbled down the rabbit hole into this awesome world. I was drinking what all my 22 year old girlfriends were- vodka cranberry, White Russian, etc. Then I started dating a bartender and he decided I should try something different. Wow! What had I been missing!?
Favorite Non-Alcoholic Ingredient to Use in a Cocktail:
Tea! Everything from Earl Grey to Jasmine Green to Rooibos to Rose Cascarilla to Lapsang Souchong- teas are an amazing way to add complexity to a cocktail. Also, when made into tea syrups, it's also possible to created some interesting beverages for those that aren't consuming alcohol. I don't want them to feel left out!
