The Tales of the Cocktail Foundation showcases a whole new way to relax after a shift.
It’s that time, be it at dusk or dawn, when you shake off the shift you just worked. It’s that moment when you leave chatting with customers and creating cocktails behind, and finally take a moment all your own.
Pre-pandemic, this hour came like clockwork. It was built into the end of a shift––a proverbial bookend, propping you up after you’d given all you’ve got. These days, when work-life can invade everyday life, when everything is upside down, Beam Suntory wants you to reclaim that personal hour.
Join America’s top bartenders as they share curated 6ourbon 7ime Playlists on Spotify. Each one is paired with that bartender’s favorite cocktail—the bespoke drink to sip while tuning in.
The best part? You can have this restorative hour on repeat, any time of day, and you’ll be giving back to a great cause at the same time. Beam Suntory will donate $1 to the Restaurant Workers Community Foundation (up to $500) for each playlist follow.
Cheers … to 6ourbon 7ime – a stiff drink, a great song, a little time to one’s self.
First up is San Diego, California’s Erick Castro’s playlist.
“I don’t know if I even have a favorite music genre, as it changes from day-to-day, depending on my mood,” offers the 20-year hospitality veteran and illustrious industry personality Erick Castro.
These days, he can most often be found in his studio, hosting his award-winning podcast series. Castro’s playlist is thoughtful and, at times, delightfully unexpected.
“I went for a very chill vibe with this one,” he says. “I’m someone who has never been able to end a shift and immediately go to bed. I’ve got to have time to listen to music and unwind and this is the perfect collection, I believe for that.”
