The holidays are a time when many of us have a few extra drinks — or spend time with people having a few extra drinks. This week we’re talking with LP O’Brien, an award-winning mixologist in Washington, DC. A couple years back, she decided to quit drinking, a decision that she says made her better at her job. We find out how that’s possible, and how it led LP into the quickly growing market for non-alcoholic drinks. She also tells Dan how she first stumbled into the world of high-end cocktails while studying for her nursing degree, and she shares what she drinks during the holiday season now that she’s sober. For a recipe for one of LP’s signature NA holiday drinks, visit our Instagram. The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Nora Ritchie, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.
