Join us for a masterclass in cocktails as we sit down with the award-winning duo behind Philadelphia's Almanac bar, Danny Childs, the James Beard Award-winning author and ethnobotanist, and Rob Scott, head bartender. Danny shares the story of founding the "Slow Drinks" movement, a field-to-glass philosophy that uses hyper-seasonal, foraged, and preserved ingredients to create a truly local expression. Rob discusses how he masterfully translates this vision into reality, blending these Mid-Atlantic flavors with the precision and profound hospitality. Together, they reveal the magic of their partnership, detailing how a shared history and a trip to Japan shaped Almanac's exquisite cocktail program. This conversation is a deep dive into how limits breed creativity, why the best ingredients are found in your own backyard, and what it means to build a bar program that is both environmentally conscious and exceptionally delicious.
