Imbibe Article: Vodka Gains New Momentum Behind The Bar

Next week, the March/April edition of Imbibe Magazine will hit the shelves, and on page 45 of this edition begins an article by Paul Clarke entitled "Clearing The Way: Vodka Gains New Momentum Behind the Bar." Click through the title to read the article which is already posted on Imbibe Magazine's website, though you'll have to pick up a copy if you'd like to take a gander at the gorgeous photographs taken by Stuart Mullenberg, including an image of my Staraya Modnaya, a kind of fancy vodka old-fashioned.

To my delight, he highlights a number of classics, including: the Gypsy, the Kangaroo, the Drink Without a Name, and the Carnaval Room.

Aside from myself, he also interviews "Tipsy Texan" David Alan, Robert Krueger of Employees Only, and H. Joseph Ehrmann of Elixir.

This is an important step for vodka, a spirit known for taking such big strides that it hardly has a moment to consider where its going. I believe this article will help set the tone for a panel at this years Tales of the Cocktail, entitled "I Hate Vodka/ I Love Vodka."
