Ep185 - Bitters, Badassery & Bar Talk with Jeff White at Amor y Amargo

Описание: At Five Drinks or Midnight, the pours are strong, the questions are sharper, and last call is just a suggestion. In this episode, we pull up a barstool at the legendary Amor y Amargo to swap pours and philosophy with the one and only Jeff White—NYC bartender, bitter spirit evangelist, and all-around industry badass. With nearly 20 years behind the stick at institutions like Experimental Cocktail Club, Café de L’Enfer, Le Crocodile, Ai Fiori, and the dearly missed Rookery, Jeff’s résumé reads like a cocktail lover’s bucket list. Now slinging drinks at Chinato in the LES, he’s also quietly plotting his next big move: opening his very own bar.

Over five drinks and five custom-crafted questions, Jeff gets real about what drives him—flavor, feeling, and the finer points of bar culture. We talk bitter truths, sweet memories, and the raw beauty of building community one cocktail at a time.

Whether you’re a bartender, brand rep, distiller, drink nerd, or just someone who loves a good pour with a better story, this one’s for you.

🍸 No tricks. No scripts. Just real conversation with the people behind the pour.

Pull up a seat, pour something neat, and get ready to toast the people shaking up the spirits world.
