Bartenders trained by Sasha Petraske

Bartenders trained by
Sasha Petraske
If, after sipping a Bohanan’s cocktail,
you find yourself saying that it’s the
best you’ve ever had, you can thank Sasha
Petraske. Sasha was one of the major players
in the “cocktail renaissance” in New York,
reintroducing the City to pre-Prohibition
recipes meticulously made with perfect
ingredients. In the bar and restaurant
world, he is known as one of the best, so we
persuaded him to come south for a while to
share his expertise and recipes, and to train
the bar staff. When Sasha goes back to NYC,
he’ll have left his creative mark in just one
bar in San Antonio — Bohanan’s.

The Cherries
“Bartending is an old and honorable
trade. It is not a profession, and I
have no sympathy with those who
try to make it so. The idea of
calling a bartender Professor
or Mixologist is nonsense.”
- Patrick Gavin Duffy In the forward to his
Official Mixer’s Manual, 1934
Patrons ask us about the cherries in
our cocktails all the time…They are
maraschino cherries the way they are
supposed to be: all-natural whole
Italian cherries candied in Marasca
syrup, no dyes, no preservatives,
no artificial anything.
Just the deep, dark,
true essence of cherries.
