If two thirds of all cocktails are made at home, how come we only ever read about people who make cocktails in bars? That’s the question that Dr. Nicola Nice tackles when she returns to the Speakeasy to talk about her new book “The Cocktail Parlor: How Women Brought the Cocktail Home.” Together, she and the band talk about the often invisible and overlooked efforts of female pioneers that shaped the cocktail - and more importantly hospitality - into what it is today and discuss what we can do about the systemic forces that have kept their labor hidden for so long. Plus, Is Lancaster, PA the new hot destination for drinks? Tune in to find out!
