“Having Nonalcoholic Spirits Keeps Me From F-ing Up”
Our guest today on Food with Mark Bittman is Allison Robicelli, who has been on the food scene for years; she started out cooking in New York and now has evolved into a nonalcoholic beverage columnist for the Washington Post.
Allison’s is a unique journey, to be sure, and she told us about so much of it — from the time when she was 13 years old and got blackout drunk for the first time, to her deep delve into the history of alcohol, to her thoughts on AA. She is aggressively sober but not preachy about it, she knows a lot about drinking issues, and we think she is way ahead of the curve on the new sobriety, or the new semi-sobriety. This is a topic more and more people are thinking about, and Allison very often nails it. Plus she’s funny as hell. Let us know what you think.
And! Here are six nonalcoholic drinks that Allison loves.
- Monday Gin
- All the Bitter Bitters
- Spiritless Canned Margarita
- Vera Gino Tonic (I know I gave a gin up above, but g-ddamn do I f-ing love gin so much, hence why I had to go on the podcast)
- Kally
- Blind Tiger
