Ep 210 - Michael & Zara Madrusan on The Madrusan Cocktail Companion

Episode 210 finds us doing something unusual… getting up early. Today we’re sitting down with Michael and Zara Madrusan — founders of The Everleigh Group and authors of A Spot at the Bar and their monumental new release, The Madrusan Cocktail Companion. It’s a conversation about obsession, preservation, and what it really means to care about drinks as culture — not just craft. Drawing from a personal library reaching back to 1862, Michael and Zara have built one of the most ambitious cocktail references ever assembled: more than 2,800 drinks, contributions from 100 of the world’s leading bartenders, and a living map of how the modern canon came to be. Martinis across a century. Sours, Bucks, Flips. Aperitivo traditions. Non-alcoholic evolution. The through-line is history — told through the glass. We talk about Milk & Honey, The Everleigh, working alongside Sasha Petraske, and the quiet discipline behind building something meant to last. We also explore what it takes to document a moving target — and why the stories behind drinks matter as much as the drinks themselves. 🎥 Five Drinks or Midnight is where spirits meet storytelling—featuring bartenders, brand builders, distillers, blenders, and cocktail creatives from around the globe. Come for the booze. Stay for the stories. #MichaelMadrusan #ZaraMadrusan #TheEverleigh #EverleighGroup #MadrusanCocktailCompanion #ASpotAtTheBar #CocktailBooks #CocktailHistory #BarIndustry #BartenderLife #HospitalityIndustry #DrinksIndustry #BarCulture #ModernCocktails #ClassicCocktails #CocktailCanon #CocktailLovers #Drinkstagram #HomeBar #CraftCocktails #SpiritsCommunity #CocktailEducation #CocktailInspiration #YouTubeInterview #PodcastStyle #AuthorInterview #FoodAndDrink #FDOM #BarSideConversations #DrinksCulture #CocktailConversations 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Question 1 - How did you get started in the hospitality world and what made you want to write a book? 21:42 - Question 2 - Which classic cocktail do people THINK they know but almost always get wrong? 39:41 - Question 3 - Sam Ross - Rapid Fire questions 51:28 - Question 4 - Is there a Martini hill you’re willing to die on? 1:01:36 - Question 5 - Since you are in the future, is today going to be a great day? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To get to know us better follow us on our social media: INSTAGRAM :   / fivedrinksormidnight   INSTAGRAM :   / whiskey.wednesdays   TIKTOK:   / whiskeywednesdays   FACEBOOK :   / fivedrinksormidnight   THREADS : https://www.threads.net/@whiskey.wedn... ➡️ Get your WhiskeyWednesdays® Decision Coin 🪙 here: https://shop.whiskeywednesdays.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Catch up on Previous Interviews : 🥃 EP 209 - Inside The Whiskey Bible with Noah Rothbaum    • EP 209 - Inside The Whiskey Bible with Noa...   🥃 Ep 208 - Inside Mr Lyan’s Global Playbook with Alex Lawrence Milia    • Ep 207 - From Bartender to Global Bar Buil...   🥃 Ep 207 - Inside Mr Lyan’s Global Playbook with Alex Lawrence Milia    • Ep 207 - From Bartender to Global Bar Buil...   🥃 Ep 206 - A Life Behind the Bar with Steve Schneider    • Ep 206 - From Employees Only to Sip & Guzz...   🥃 Ep 205 - Andy Lock on opening Foolproof: A No-Nonsense Whiskey Bar in Williamsburg    • Ep205  - From Service Well to Owner’s Chai...   🥃 Ep 204 - Season 7 Premiere: Bobbi Adler on Precision, Passion, and Cocktails    • Ep 204 - Science, Service, and Shinji’s | ...   🥃 Ep 203 - Scott Blackwell & Ann Marshall of High Wire Distilling, Drinking Is an Agricultural Act    • Ep 203 - Scott Blackwell & Ann Marshall of...   🥃 Ep 202 - Inside the Mind of a Cocktail Legend: Jeffrey Morgenthaler    • Ep 202 - Inside the Mind of a Cocktail Leg...   🥃 Ep 201 - The Irish Whiskey Disruptor: Peter Cooney of Boann Distillery    • Ep 201 - The Irish Whiskey Disruptor: Pete...   🥃 Ep 200 - Five Drinks, One Tuba: Adam Edwards Takes Us Through Bourbon Country    • Ep 200 - Five Drinks, One Tuba: Adam Edwar...   🥃 Ep 199 - Crafting Character: Inside Tullibardine with Roslyn Nuttall-Jones & Stacy Longworth    • Ep 199 - Crafting Character: Inside Tullib...   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks for all the love and support from all of our subscribers!!!
