The Master Blend: A Bartender Series - Natalie Lichtman

Bit by a Fox Podcast

This week we’re continuing the second chapter of the Bartender Interview Series, The Master Blend - a collaboration with BERTOUX Brandy. This bi-weekly series of interviews will have each bartender discuss their distinct style, biggest inspirations, and how they’re making their mark on today’s cocktail culture. This week’s guest is San Francisco bartender Natalie Lichtman. She may come off as an elegant pink-haired Holly Golightly behind the bar, however Natalie’s quick rise in the intense restaurant and bar world of San Francisco has proven that she has ambition and the chops. We talked about the importance of mentors, getting that big break, and how she finds a way to feed her unique artistry behind the bar and away from it.

Natalie's BERTOUX Brandy cocktail currently featured at San Francisco's Nico Restaurant:

The Aperitif 1.25 oz. BERTOUX Brandy .75 oz. Verjus Blanc .5 oz. Kina L’Aero D'or .5 oz. Bigallet China-China Amaro Stir all ingredients over ice, strain, and serve up in a Nick and Nora glass. Garnish is a petite corvette rose with small shards of lemon pith and sage leaves tucked between the petals.
