May 25: Radio Room at the Edison

Since its relaunch in February 2009, the Radio Room at the Edison has hosted guest mixologists from top bars such as Bourbon & Branch, Death & Co., Milk & Honey, Drink, Heaven’s Dog, Clyde Common, Cure, and Rickhouse. The most recent edition of the Radio Room welcomed Simon Ford (Pernod Ricard, London & NYC), Zane Harris (Rob Roy, Seattle), Giuseppe Gonzalez (Dutch Kills & Painkiller, NYC) and Don Lee (Momofuku Restaurants, NYC). Radio Room’s special cocktail menus feature signature cocktails from each guest, a great way to sample drinks from the best bars in the country.

On Tuesday, May 25, Radio Room returns with a reunion of sorts, as Joseph Brooke (The Edison’s Director of Spirits) welcomes his mentor, LA’s own Vincenzo Marianella (Copa d’Oro). Before joining The Edison, Brooke honed his skills at Copa d’Oro, named by 944 and LA magazine as LA’s Best New Bar, and the recipient of accolades from virtually every publication that follows contemporary cocktail culture.

Also visiting Radio Room is H. Joseph Ehrmann, of San Francisco’s Elixir. Located in the Mission District, Elixir was the first bar to be certified as a Green Business by the city. In March, Ehrmann was named the 2010 Bartender of the Year by Nightclub & Bar Magazine.

And traveling farther than any Radio Room guest to date is Hamish McShane, of Bayswater Brasserie in Sydney, Australia. McShane’s bar program has been internationally recognized, including being named one of the “World’s Top 20 Bars” by Bartender Magazine.
