In this episode of "The Mixing Glass", Eric Kozlik talks about being a spirits judge, creating and running a large cocktail competition, and how to advocate for bartenders during a cocktail competition.
------------
Eric Kozlik is a drinks industry consultant, spirits judge, and podcaster based in Washington, DC. He began his journey in 2014, when he created a craft bitters brand with some college friends. This gave him opportunities to collaborate with bartenders and distillers all across the country and to explore the art and science of flavor building. From there, he launched The Modern Bar Cart Podcast in 2017, which has been featured in The New York Times and honored three times by Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards as a Top-10 drinks industry podcast. When he's not podcasting, Eric works as a spirits judge for the American Distilling Institute and the World Drink Awards (among others) and helps all kinds of distillers, bartenders, and organizations as the founder and principal consultant of Direct Fire Consulting. In his off-time, he is an enthusiastic home cook and gardener, a student of complex systems science, and a passionate outdoorsman.
