This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. As a bartender, I get to taste a lot of gin, so I can be picky about what I offer my guests. Farmer’s Gin is one of those bottles I keep coming back to, because it delivers exactly what I’m looking for behind the bar. It’s clean, balanced, and makes a fantastic Martini, but it also shines in classics like a Negroni, Gimlet, or even an Alaska. What I really appreciate is how many different drinkers it appeals to. There’s enough juniper for London Dry fans, but also beautiful floral and citrus notes to win over those who prefer softer, more modern gins. It’s one of those bottles guests love because it just tastes great. If you care about quality and well-made cocktails, check out Farmer’s Gin. Follow them at @farmersgin or visit farmersgin.com.
Max Reis was hooked from the first time he visited Mexico. What began as an obsession grew into a deep passion for Mexican spirits, eventually making Reis one of the foremost authorities on the agave-based spirits category in America. That led him to open Mírate and Daisy, two Mexican spirits-focused bars serving some of the most exciting and inventive cocktails in the country — all while honoring the spirits, traditions, and people who make them.
Today on “The Buildout,” Max joins Adam to talk about his journey, how he views the current Los Angeles bar scene, and why honoring the people and culture of Mexico remains central to his work.
