On Amelia Earhart, Seafood-flavored Dry Martinis, and The Lebanese Bar Industry

Tucked away on the busy streets of Mar Mikhael is a refined lounge that is named and themed after the world’s first solo female aviator, Amelia Earhart. Firas Youssef, an award-winning mixologist who is currently managing the Amelia Bar in Beirut is our guest on this episode of the Beirut Buzz podcast. Throughout the discussion, Firas joins our host Lynn to talk about leaving the world of filmmaking to enter that of spirits, the influence that his university degree has on his work behind the bar, his ability to match drinks to customers’ moods, and the inventive and luxurious martini cocktails that earned him the first runner-up spot at the grand finals of the Elit Art of Martini competition in Ibiza back in 2017. Are you curious to discover what the most ordered drink at Amelia is and what cocktail Firas would like to see disappear? Tune in to this boozy conversation to find out!
