Podcast Overview

West 6 is a podcast about cocktails, told as the stories of the people who made them, the bars they were made in, and the unlikely details that history forgot. Our show is for engaged home bartenders, beverage industry professionals, and anyone who would rather hear the mixology story behind a drink than be told to try it. Each episode follows one cocktail. The history. The contradiction. The bartender who got the credit and the one who actually invented it. Hosted by Scotty Clarke, a charming rogue and craftsman who treats mixology as obsession. New episodes every week. Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. https://grep.news/podcast/west6

Single Village Fix - how smoke became the fifth ingredient

Phil Ward was bartending at Death and Co when he took mezcal, a spirit most Americans only knew as "the one with the worm," and built a cocktail around its smokiness instead of hiding it. The Single Village Fix, just mezcal, lime, and pineapple gum syrup, proved that campfire smoke and tropical sweetness aren't opposites but the whole point of each other. This is the drink that quietly rewrote how an entire generation thinks about mezcal, and you can make it tonight with three ingredients and a hard shake.

Ultima Palabra - smoke and rye walk into a speakeasy

Phil Ward at Death and Co. swapped gin for mezcal in a Prohibition-era classic and accidentally rewrote what mezcal could do in a serious cocktail. The Ultima Palabra — four equal parts, zero room for error, one ingredient that turns smoke into structure — is the drink that proved restraint hits harder than invention. Same architecture as the Last Word, completely different soul.

Mezcal Negroni - how mezcal turned bitterness into theater

Someone took a classic Negroni, swapped the gin for smoky Oaxacan mezcal, and accidentally created one of the most talked-about cocktails of the last decade. Equal parts espadín mezcal, Campari, and sweet vermouth — stirred slow, strained over a single large cube, finished with an expressed orange peel — and the whole thing tastes like a campfire learned to be elegant. The real story though is what buying the right bottle actually means for the Zapotec families in Oaxaca who built this culture long before it was cool.
