Cameron Curtis
Alton Brown may be spending most of his time on the set of Food Network Star or Cutthroat Kitchen, but there's always time for a cocktail. He gave us the low-down on his favorite drink for summer, told us which trends he is totally over and answered how you can best stock your at-home bar.
Alton Brown: I'm over anything that involves a cheese-stuffed olive because I don't like cheese in my booze.
AB: I'm into anything with aged rum and classic punches.
AB: Tonic concentrate, soda siphon for soda water, simple syrup, Fernet Branca and Amaro
