Tom Lasher-Walker has played an integral role in the growth and refinement of Ariete Hospitality Group’s beverage programs. In this conversation with Mike Beltrán, the two talk about classic cocktails, why Mike thought Tom was a good for for Ariete’s company culture, the role of cocktail competition in the growth of cocktail culture, and the differences between bartending and mixology, among many other things. He also recalls the experience of being a part of the team that won Ariete its Michelin Star earlier in 2022.
In the Patreon-exclusive extended cut of this interview, Tom explains why he misses “white smacked meat” from back home in the U.K., how he likes his coffee, and other matters of great importance.
