Central Standard

Kansas City Bartenders Create Cocktails Inspired By Local Bands

Music is often connected with emotions, but what about food? Can a cocktail taste like a song? On Thursday's Central Standard, we spoke with two Kansas City bartenders who recently completed a feat of synesthesia - creating original cocktails inspired by songs from local musicians.  The event was called Mixtapes & Mixology.

Also, on our regular Tell KCUR segment, we heard what our listeners think Kansas City needs.

And, we played a mix of soccer songs sung by international fans who call Kansas City home.

Guests:

  • Zac Snyder, bartender, Justus Drugstore
  • Caitlin Corcoran, bartender, Port Fonda

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
