Fred Yarm
Bartender and Author
Fred Yarm is a Boston bartender who got into the industry through writing about cocktails 14 years ago. His work with the CocktailVirgin blog led to two books, Drink & Tell: A Boston Cocktail Book (2012) and Boston Cocktails: Drunk & Told (2017), which captured the cocktail renaissance in his city. After the first book, a night as a guest bartender led Fred to seek out a barback position at an establishment known for training bartenders, and was soon promoted. COVID-19 has disrupted Fred's bartending career for the moment, but he will be back behind the stick in Boston soon.
Fleming Fizz
This winter cocktail is bright and fizzy, spicy with ginger, and smoky with Scotch. Think of it as a Penicillin, gone extra-festive.
