Fred Yarm

FREDERIC YARM is a Boston bartender who got into the industry through writing about cocktails 18 years ago. His work with the CocktailVirgin blog blossomed into two books, Drink & Tell: A Boston Cocktail Book (2012) and Boston Cocktails: Drunk & Told (2017), which capture the cocktail renaissance in his city. After the first book, a night as a guest bartender led Frederic to seek out a barback position at an establishment known for training bartenders and he was soon promoted. Fred has been bartending at various establishments in town for the last 11 years.
