"According to bar expert and author John deBary, to wake yourself up and give a nod to the Brits, tea-infused spirits are the way to go. You can infuse "english breakfast or earl grey tea into London dry gin like Beefeater or Sipsmith,” and go with whatever gin cocktail you already know and love. And you don’t even have to have planned it the night before. “I usually do 14 grams (or 7 standard tea bags) infused into one 750 mL bottle of gin for 10 minutes,” he says. If you have a few bags of Lipton and half a bottle of gin hanging around somewhere in your apartment, you're halfway there."

HRN Happy Hour with John deBary and Julia Bainbridge

"Our conversation with Julia and John covers a ton of ground – from the Atlanta restuarant scene and non-alcoholic cocktails to solitude and skin care.

Julia Bainbridge was most recently Food Editor of Atlanta Magazine, and is an accomplished writer with work in everything from Bon Appetit to Playboy. She’s the creator and host of The Lonely Hour, a podcast about loneliness–but it’s not a bummer. Julia has created a space to talk openly in hopes of both de-stigmatizing loneliness and underscoring the joys of solitude.

John’s one of the biggest cocktail and bar experts out there. He got his start at PDT, and has spent many years with Momofuku. He is now working on writing his debut book and creating a nonprofit that will improve the daily lives of professional restaurant workers.

Stick around for a special round of trivia: JdB tweet or Any Rooney quote!"

 

 

"One Spreadsheet and 300 Cans Later, I Found the Best Way to Order LaCroix" -New York Magazine, Dec. 6, 2017

"I also went to the experts. I had a conversation with John deBary, a retired bartender, LaCroix advocate, and noted LaCroix-cocktail expert, about ordering practices. We both agreed on this: LaCroix itself should do direct ordering with a subscription option. (Maybe through its parent company National Beverage Corp.)"
