UNCLE NEAREST TRIVIA: In 2000... Who was the person that wrote the business plan and raised the capital for famed @chefgarvin ’s first restaurant; his popular celebrity hot spot in the Beverly Hills, California area? 🤔💭 ANSWER: The SAME person who did the SAME for Uncle Nearest, our founder and CEO, @fawn.weaver 🤩!!️ Many don’t know that Fawn has been supporting first time entrepreneurs for MORE THAN 22 YEARS! 💪🏽 So, it’s not surprising at all that she launched the Black Business Booster program within the spirits industry and the Nearest and Jack Advancement Initiative, along with our friends down the road in Lynchburg, TN. 😉🏆 All these years later, Chef G’s LowCountry Steak by G. Garvin in Atlanta on Peachtree St. NW is a favorite of our fearless leader 🙌🏽 💯 (Fawn highly recommends the seafood bouillabaisse...she said “it’ll change your life.” 😍). NOW, ABOUT THIS DRINK! 🍹 We can’t share with you the exact recipe Chef G. used (maybe you can get that at LowCountry Steak), but we can share with you the recipe of the “Nearest to Happiness” made by our very own, @jmadontherocks in Atlanta, GA, one of Fawn and her partner/husband/ace boon coon, @keithwvr ’s favorites. ❤️🙏🏽 💯 INGREDIENTS: 1.5oz Uncle Nearest 1884 0.5oz Lillet Rouge 0.5oz Lemon Juice 0.5oz Simple Syrup 3-4 blueberries 1 Mint Leaf METHOD: Muddle blueberries, combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well and pour into rocks glass. Garnish with blueberries and mint leaf. CHEERS, #WhiskeyFamily ! And always, #DrinkHonorably 🥃💯
