2 Richard, Julie, and Dushan gathered in studio with Emeril.
3 On the air, our three barkeeps were surrounded by fruits, liquors, and sodas.

7 The menu of special cocktails at Dutch Kills is revised frequently.
Three of New York's best bartenders (not mixologists, thank you very much) - Richard Boccato of Dutch Kills, Dushan Zaric of Employees Only, and Julie Reiner of Flatiron Lounge, Clover Club, and Lani Kai - joined Emeril in studio today to talk about the history of cocktails and how to make them properly.
