That television show that encouraged men and women everywhere to pick up an Old Fashioned, Mad Men, is kicking off for 6th season, and sites all over the web are jumping on the bandwagon pushing out articles that tie in with the show (just like this one). The best we’ve seen so far, though, was this short piece on liquor.com from the silver fox of modern bartending, Mr Dale DeGroff. Before he stepped behind the stick he worked at an ad agency in Manhattan, in the early 70’s (just after the period depicted in the television show), and he writes that Mad Men’s depiction isn’t far off what he experienced. As interesting as the drinks the execs imbibed after lunch — they were drinking ice cold Massanez Poire Williams, on top of Scotch, martinis, and wine according to DeGroff — was their stamina after a long lunch. “They were back in the office by 3 and were as sharp as they were when they started in the morning,” DeGroff writes.
