67: Toni Tipton-Martin’s Recipe for Blackberry-Ginger Bourbon Smash

Award-winning culinary historian and author Toni Tipton-Martin talks to Jesse this week about her new book, Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice: A Cocktail Recipe Book. It’s a fascinating conversation about how the creativity, hospitality, and excellence of Black drinking culture shaped the American cocktail scene, how the discovery of old cookbooks became the doorway to a deeper understanding of her African-American historical studies, how she went from being a “bubbly wine” person to one who can appreciate the nuance of fine bourbon and her One: Blackberry-Ginger Bourbon Smash. Toni is editor-in-chief of Cook’s Country and the author of many books, including the award-winning Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook. You can follow her on Instagram @tonitiptonmartin.If you like our show, don’t forget to hit like and subscribe and leave us a review!Help support The One Recipe with a donation of any amount today.
