Both Sides of the Table: Recent Episodes
Clare and Grace
Both Sides of the Table brings together two co-bartenders from wildly different backgrounds to discuss the woes of their careers. Clare and Grace will dispute over cocktail creation techniques, share stories of Stranger Dangers (situations brought on by certain customers, stocking issues, etc.), give their Tips of the Trade, and give an overall good, bad, or indifferent take on their experience. Grace, a 20-something sweet academic and religious type, and Clare, a 50 year old generation Xer that spent 20+ years in upper restaurant management are now a coworker match made in Cocktail Heaven.
Well folks, this is it! The end of the first season of Both Sides of the Table. Grace is moving to Atlanta for graduate school, and we’re reflecting on the past year of this podcast along with the past year and a half of bartending together. We hope you pop a bottle alongside us, and cheers one more time this season.
We’ll be on a break for a few weeks as we adjust to the new recording dynamics, so be sure to listen to some old episodes in the meantime.
For now, cheers, friends. We love you 🥂

You know him, you love him, you’ve heard of his celebration and following casualties; it’s Grimace’s birthday, y’all. Although the machine was broken, we had some tricks up our sleeve over at the Both Sides pod lab. If you’re willing to go through all the work, we hope you enjoy this Ramos Gin- I mean, ‘Grimace’ Fizz, as much as we did.
Ingredients/Recipe
2oz Empress (or Beefeater) Gin
1/2oz lemon juice
1/2oz lime juice
1oz simple syrup
1-1 1/2oz heavy cream
1 egg white (medium, probably)
Shake egg white in separate container till very foamy. You do need legitimate egg white, not imitation egg foam. Apologies.
Shake heavy cream with ice until chilled.
Strain.
Combine chilled cream, foamy egg white, and other ingredients, with one or two small pieces of ice. Preferably pellet. Enough to chill, but not to over-dilute.
Shake for as long as you can (maybe share the burden with a friend or two). At least 3 minutes.
Strain into a highball/collins glass.
Place in fridge for a few minutes.
Remove from fridge.
(Gently!!!) Add soda water and watch as the head of this drink rises above your glass without spilling over.
Add orange blossom water if you’re feeling extremely fancy.
After ALL THAT HARD WORK, please enjoy.
Cheers, and Happy Birthday Grimace!
