Yesterday I bought a new hand juicer that someone shared with me, and I bought it because it was something I’d never seen before! (To be fair I do believe it was just released this year – someone let me know if this is incorrect) It’s a hard plastic, flat hand juicer. That’s right, it | Read More The post The “Fluicer” Hand Juicer appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

The Keoke Coffee is one of those drinks that I got a lot of orders for back in the late 90s and early 2000s when I was first starting out making cocktails. And I never really gave it much thought back then, because it seemed like there were a hundred coffee drinks that all seemed | Read More The post Keoke Coffee appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

David from Germany wrote to me about six months ago asking if there was a video demonstration of the “underhanded pour” I describe on page 190 of The Bar Book. Well, that right was right as I was deep in the process of opening my own bar, so naturally I let his email sit in | Read More The post The Underhanded Pour appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

This post is long overdue, but I’ve been very, very, very busy these past four months. In case you haven’t heard, I’ve finally opened my own bar – with my good friend, business partner, and former lead bartender at Clyde Common, Benjamin Amberg. And now that I’m finally able to come up for air a | Read More The post Introducing: Pacific Standard appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

A couple of years ago during the height of the pandemic I decided to celebrate by sharing my chocolate chip cookie recipe online. And this year I thought I would just make that a tradition by sharing something I | Read More The post Universal Syrup Calculator appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

I started tending bar when I was in school, back in 1996, at a corner bar called The Tiny Tavern, located in the Whitaker district of Eugene, Oregon. It was (and still is) kind of a rough-and-tumble part of town, full of working class people, families, musicians, artists, you name it. I met a lot | Read More The post Introducing: Ninkasi Canned Cocktails appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

Since I’ve had a little more free time these days, I’ve been going back through some of my old recipes and noticing that I’ve got a pretty extensive backlog of cocktails that have never made it on to the site. Until now. You can expect to see more cocktails here this year. Anyway, I came | Read More The post Andalusian Buck appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

Something occurred to me recently: Why are we still banishing low-alcohol and no-alcohol drinks to their own dumb section of the menu, like they’re sitting at the kids’ table at dinner? Think about it for a second, doesn’t it seem a little barbaric in this day and age – when we’re all consuming more low-proof | Read More The post Cocktail ABV Calculator appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more

I love being pleasantly surprised by bar-related knowledge, and this is the most recent surprise I learned while doing a staff training last week here in Portland. Head bartender Jared Miller shocked me by telling me that he cuts his citrus peels with one of the cheese slicers they use at the wine bar he | Read More The post My New Favorite Citrus Peeler appeared first on Jeffrey Morgenthaler ..read more
