Trends That Defined

3: CBD EMERGED AS A COCKTAIL INGREDIENT
Even as California’s governor signed a bill prohibiting drinks that mix
alcohol and cannabidiol, or CBD, the trend picked up steam elsewhere,
as bartenders and baristas laced all manner of drinks with oils and tinctures
that touted a wellness effect, although not a high. Meanwhile, in 2018,
Michigan became the 10th U.S. state to legalize marijuana for all adults,
and Canada legalized marijuana federally. No wonder brands like Con-

4: EVERY BARTENDER HAD A BOOK

New offerings from the Death & Co team, Sother Teague, Chall Gray
and Selma Slabiak filled out the shelves, although perhaps the biggest
splash was The Aviary’s Kickstarter-funded cocktail book. Further, a sign
that the cocktail revolution has finally matured: a reissue of Gaz Regan’s
seminal Joy of Mixology bible, updated for a new generation of barkeeps.
5: COCKTAIL CONVENTIONS SAW A SHIFT

A kinder, gentler Tales of the Cocktail returned in 2018 after the original
founders resigned following a series of controversial events. Further north,
Bar Convent Brooklyn made a successful debut, the NYC offshoot of Bar
Convent Berlin. Meanwhile, the organizers of BevCon moved the cocktail

plans to shutter the enterprise.

She had one leg and wore a crutch. I stopped a moment and then I said,
But as she passed, she passed a smile. "Why don't you join them dear?"
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. He looked ahead without a word.
I have two legs; the world is mine. I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I stopped to buy some candy. I have two ears; the world is mine.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad. With feet to take me where I'd go..
If I were late, it'd do no harm. With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
And as I left, he said to me, With ears to hear what I'd know.
