Bonus Drink #13 of Christmas

You made it through Christmas and Boxing Day shopping, you don’t have time to make cocktails but you do have time to drink. This is your bonus drink – the PickleBack. The history of this ‘drink’ is unknown but it is believed to have been created in a hipster bar in Brooklyn NY (which could been any number of bars – aren’t they all hipster bars?). Personally, I first encountered a PickleBack at Breslin in the ACE Hotel in NYC and have been a big fan ever since. They sound terrible but trust me there are few things better than the burn of the whiskey followed by salty coolness of the brine.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
