As your host at Shebrew in the City, I, Nicole Kelly, had the pleasure of sitting down with the vibrant Pam Wiznitzer, master mixologist and social media maven. Our heartfelt conversation soared from the intricacies of Jewish traditions and their influence on Pam's passion for mixology, to the shared laughter over our first drinks. Revel in the stories of our personal journeys - from navigating conservative upbringing to embracing the artistry of the cocktail, and the meaningful connections fostered with patrons across the bar.
This episode isn't just about drinks; it's a toast to the resilience and innovation of women in the bartending industry. Pam and I unpack the sometimes bittersweet cocktail of challenges and triumphs she's faced and share how these experiences have stirred her ambition to mentor the next generation of female mixologists. Get a taste of culture as we discuss iconic events like Oktoberfest, Cinco de Mayo, and even Santa-con and how she blends the flavors of her Jewish heritage into every shake and stir of her creations.
Lastly, join us as we pour creativity into crafting cocktails that do more than just quench thirst - they tell a story, evoke memories, and celebrate identity. Whether you fancy turning your hand to home mixology or just enjoy a good yarn over a well-crafted drink, this episode promises to shake up your day. Pam shares a glimpse of her passion aimed at combating hate, while hints at possible new ventures beyond the world of mixology. So, grab your favorite glass, and let's raise a toast to journeys shared and stories yet to be told. Cheers!
