NationalDaiquiriDay: 'Leon tells me his favorite drink is a daiquiri, while Saulter loves anything w/ coconut. Saulter says the film is an ode to the cultures that created some of the most popular drinks today, from coquito to rum punch.' | NoelleDLilley
Saulter, Leon, and I speak over a Zoom call on a Friday afternoon. Leon tells me his favorite drink is a daiquiri, while Saulter loves anything with coconut. Saulter says the film is an ode to the cultures that created some of the most popular drinks today, from coquito to rum punch.
Leon says that he’s often the only person of color when he enters a popular bar, pub, or cocktail lounge. He adds that many Black or Brown mixologists don’t have mentors in the industry who can guide them to success. Leon says being a Culture Shaker has provided him with a refreshing change. The history of people of color in bartending is one that is grossly overlooked, especially that of African Americans. David Wondrich, who is widely hailed as one of the foremost historians and writers on the history of cocktails,that “Black people have been mixing drinks in America since the earliest days of European colonization.” Wondrich writes that bartending was one of the few areas where Black Americans could find success and autonomy, despite being enslaved or subjugated.
