Albert Becomes Redbook's Official Bartender

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Mar 8, 2011 5:40PM

2011_3_8_Albert.jpg 312 Dining Diva noted yesterday that Southern Wine & Spirits' Bridget Albert was named the official mixologist of Redbook magazine. A protege of "Modern Mixologist" Tony Abou Ganim, Albert is one of the cocktailers most responsible for the current mixed drink craze around town with her focus on market fresh ingredients and premium spirits.

More important, Albert's success has helped pave the way for other female cocktail enthusiasts around town such as the Bristol's Debbi Peek, Blackbird's Lynn House and Jennifer Contraveos. Albert's recipes will be part of Redbook's new lifestyles section. With an annual circulation of 2.2 million (source), Albert's recipes will now reach a wider audience.
