Frederic Yarm

Frederic Yarm is the general manager at Drink and long time cocktail writer in Boston. Fred began his interest in cocktails and spirits in 2006 through home exploration and writing that led to the Cocktail Virgin blog and the birth of two cocktail books about his city, Drink & Tell: A Boston Cocktail Book (2012) and Boston Cocktails: Drunk & Told (2017). Shortly after the first book, Fred switched careers and began working at bars and restaurants across town.
