„The only trend I want to see in 2019 and ever: More people making better drinks more often.“

There is one person, who has already contributed a lot to make this glass-fulfilling goal come true: Two books, his own blog, hundreds of articles, videos, recipes and – of course – really good drinks. And, you can definitely say, that there are just a few people in our business, who develop the bar world in such an educational and entertaining way like him: The one and only Jeffrey Morgenthaler.
Now working as a bar manager of the cocktail bar & restaurant „Clyde Common“ in Portland Oregon, Jeffrey shaked his way already through different bars – driven by his insatiable thirst for knowledge and his ability to look behind common bar-traditions, never stopping to question and develop them. This year Jeffrey’s second book was published and – to celebrate this in particular, Jeffrey himself in general and Christmas in addition, No cheers. No story. is more than happy to welcome Jeff in this (now) shiny episode.

Beginning with his first book „The Bar Book“ Jeffrey explains in the interview, why too many tools and toys can be a danger for being creative and he talks about his own experiences and mistakes as a young barman. In addition he tells some fun stories about crazy drinking-situations and explains, why he wanted to write his new „Drinking Distilled – A User’s Manual“, that is all about bar behavior and (until now) unwritten rules for bartenders and guests. Besides that, Jeffrey shares so many high-proofed thoughts and – well – humorous wisdom, that this interview is a big Christmas present for all of us and an enrichment for a motivated start into 2019. And… of course, Jeffrey tells you WHAT and HOW to drink during the holidays!

Learn from Jeffrey Morgenthaler…

• … why you should question everything, before you take it for granted.


• … why fancy equipment is not enough to make great cocktails.


• … what the 3 things are, that make an objectively (!) great drink.


• … why a sexy cocktail-pic on instagram doesn’t make you a good bartender.


• … which soft skills are important behind and in front of the bar.


• … how you build and lead a team successfully.


• … what drinking rules you should definitely know as bartender and guest.


• … what and how you drink at Christmas!

Additionally, I’m talking with Jeffrey about bizarre „Old Fashioned“-orders at brunch-time, Brosé-drinking idiots, Jeffrey’s „new“ non alcoholic beer import-company, psychopaths with „Bloody Mary“ and Eggnog all (holli)day!

Happy listening and holiday-sipping!

Stay thirsty and cheers!
