About the Show

Did you know that rum contains more flavor components than any other spirit? Or that the latest behind-the-bar trend in swanky Manhattan steakhouses is called "molecular mixology"?

From flaming buckets of Champagne to microbrews loaded with vitamins to Leningrad-themed vodka parties with fur coats and hats, FINE LIVING TV NETWORK's original series Great Cocktails is an expert guide to what to drink and where to drink it.

Come along as we travel America to taste some of the hottest trends and the newest blends in the world of cocktails and entertaining.
