Space Coast Eats Episode 62 featuring Ethan Tyler
Step beyond the velvet rope and into the allure of mixology with me, Jesse, on Space Coast Eats. Our guest, Ethan from Lourdes Library, is no mere barkeeper; he's an alchemist of the modern speakeasy. Listen in as he conjures up libations that will seduce your senses, from a sumptuous strawberry syrup mocktail to the revered Last Word. Savor the tales of our New Year's Eve escapades, the social swirl of contemporary bar culture, and a look back at festivities of yesteryear. Our conversation isn't just about clinking glasses—it's also a peek at what the future holds for cocktail enthusiasts.
Join us on a personal odyssey through the art of the cocktail, tutored by none other than George Jenkins, the 'Straw Hat Barman' himself. Relive adventures from pandemic pastimes to a revived social scene, discovering the secrets of Prohibition-era recipes and transporting them into the present with a culinary twist. Immerse yourself in the process of distilling the essence of nostalgic flavors like caramel popcorn into sippable spirits. Find out why celery bitters aren't just for Bloody Marys and learn the delicate dance of preserving the integrity of spirits like vermouth. This chapter of our discourse is a veritable master class in creative mixology.
The episode comes to a crescendo with Ethan’s ascent in the regional bartending ranks. Root for Ethan as we shake and stir all the way to the top with a cocktail inspired by community, the Popcorn for Pops. Raise your glass to the local legends, like the bartender who brought home a 3D printed rocket ship trophy with the Moon Tang Tini. As we wrap up with musings on the latest cocktail trends, from Midori-laced creations to garnishes that defy convention, the promise stands clear: this coming year, we'll not only push the boundaries of what's in your glass, but also who's behind the bar, one innovative collaboration at a time. Cheers to the journey and the magic that awaits
Urban Prime had it all last night!
🎨🎶🎸🎤🍣🧀🥩 in abundance!
Can’t get over how hip and fun it was. Waltzed in around 4 and the band was setting up. Happy Hour had just kicked off and it felt like a Friday night.
First stop was the market. Whoa! That bakery case is super tempting. Gained 3 pounds just looking at all the goodies.
All of the Deli items looked amazing. Produce was all fresh and the selection of pink pineapple was surprising.
Headed to the inside bar and surveyed the dining area. It was quiet at first and by 5:30 there was a wait.
Next to the outside accommodations, with fire pits engulfed in flames, much needed for that cool breeze that can stir a shiver.
I was greeted with familiar faces, to my pleasant surprise. Talked business and enjoyed a N/A beer at the outside bar. Reviewed the Happy Hour selections. Holy Cow!! $6 premium cocktails offered? Plus, delightful offerings at a discount. My friends had the crab and artichoke dip served with warm bread. I indulged. Yum!
The music started, the sun was going down. Evening arrived. And so did the patrons. The music, the coolness from the air on your face and the warmth of the heaters on your back; it all felt great.
Don’t know why it took so long to get there. My mistake. It felt like home and now I won’t be able to stay away.
