The Cocktail Lovers Celebrating 20 years of Employees Only NYC
Twenty years ago today Jason Kosmas, Dushan Zaríc, Igor Hadzismajlovic, Henry LaFargue and Bill Gilroy opened Employees Only NYC and we're thrilled that Jason and Dushan are joining us to talk all things EO today. But before we get to hear their thoughts on everything from the art of free pouring to how they build and retain their teams, we check out some new products and a recently opened bar.
In the new drinks corner we have a collection of three clever and extremely delicious ready-to-drink cocktails inspired by perfume accords from Tayer Studios + Cream Projects. The heady scents of Sri Lanka are captured in five exquisite cocktail seasonings called Three Families, named after Ryan Chetiyawardana, Rockland Distilleries and Dilmah Tea, the three Sri Lankan businesses behind the brand.
Maison Assouline in London has published a new book in honour of the 10th year of its bijou bar, Swans. With words by Millie Milliken and 20 recipes by Gabor Onufer, it's one for the bar's many fans.
RSA House is another London institute with art at its core and its latest addition Muse at RSA House is the perfect spot for cocktails with traceability and sustainability at their core.
Then it's over to New York where we catch up with Jason and Dushan ahead of their celebrations.
