At long last, we sit down to interview Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, decoder of the Zombie and scores of other classic tiki cocktails, author of books like Sippin' Safari and Potions of the Caribbean, owner of Latitude 29, and purveyor of multiple rum blends via his collaboration with Ed Hamilton. A true icon of the rum world!
We covered a lot of ground in our conversation, including:
His techniques for getting bartenders to reveal the secrets to classic recipes like the Zombie
The long lost rums of yore he wishes brands would revive
What's missing from modern rums
Exploring the shelves of legendary rum collector Stephen Rembsberg
The more recently available styles of rum he's particularly interested in
The pursuit of rums circa 2000
The making of the rum blends he created with Ed Hamilton
What it's like to build out a rum menu for a bar
The perfect taglines for rum cocktails
Which long lost recipes he's still pursuing
And much more!
