How to Behave
The Cocktail Show
This week on How to Behave, Brian Keyser and Hannah Howard are toasting to holiday cocktails with cocktail creator Niccole Trzaska. Find out why Niccole does not like to call herself a mixologist, and why tequila and red wine mixes turn her into a party animal. Hear why Niccole chooses to work with fresh, organic ingredients for the sake of home bartenders. Why does gin make Brian grumpy? Find out how Niccole crafts holiday drinks like the hot toddy and eggnog! Learn about Niccole's history in the cocktail world, and her affinity for teaching bartending. This program has been brought to you by Regional Access. Music by Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord.

"I don't like to call myself a mixologist. I think mixologists work very hard to maintain the integrity of traditional cocktails. I like to make things that are new... I try to keep things fun." [6:45]
