Daniel and Aaron are some of the most honest people I know and it shows in the botanical spirits they create at Forthave; everything they do is special to the next level. Do yourself a favor and buy two bottles of any of their products. Keep one for yourself, and give one to someone you love. They base some of their spirits on ancient recipes for remedies, so if you ever catch them in the street go ahead and ask them a million questions about where their inspiration comes from. The answers are good.

My boy David gifted me a bottle of Forthave’s amaro for my birthday a year or two ago and since then, I always have two bottles on deck: one at the office and one at home. For those who haven’t had amaro before, I suppose it’s a bit of an acquired taste. I grew up taking this Chinese herbal cough syrup called Pei Pa Koa and amaro reminds me a lot of it: herby, minty, and super soothing with notes of honey and cinnamon. I like to drink it over a cube of ice after dinner to settle the stomach, but as I write this in the late afternoon I kinda feel like having one now so I will.

They can be anything from a simple margarita to a tiki drink with 12 ingredients. Everyone has their own taste and everything is worth trying at least once. Your ancestors didn’t ferment or soak plants in grain alcohol for no reason! They taste good and are fun to drink. Lately I’ve been drinking the Pierre Ferrand Yuzu curaçao in anything where I’d use normal orange curaçao and it’s fantastic.

Smooth, complex, and an excellent nightcap. Worth investing in the ingredients to make at home; by the 4th you make you’ll save money vs the fancy cocktail bars.
The fernet isn’t overpowering, but still present enough for fans of the taste, and it only gets better as your ice dilutes.
2oz rye whiskey
1/2oz fernet branca
1/2oz Benedictine D.O.M.
1/6th oz (a dash) of Luxardo maraschino liqueur
Stir with ice and strain over a big cube (the molds for which are $5 online and makes every drink feel fancy) or up in a chilled glass
Cheers!

First time I went to Dublin my friend took me to this little design shop called Hen’s Teeth and they had a copy of our “ A very serious cookbook”, so obviously I became a fan immediately. Rosie and Greg have moved into a bigger space since then and they run one of the coolest design stores-cafes-music venues-galleries I know, and it also helps that they are some of the nicest people out there. Go to Dublin, go to Hen’s Teeth and buy Anni a glass of wine.

You probably haven't heard of this sneaker brand but it’s truly the only shoe I have worn consistently since I was 15. I still feel very rebellious wearing them, and in my mind there shouldn't be any other sneakers out there. If you add an insole, you can be a cool grownup and still take care of your feet.
