If you read PRK regularly, especially Susanna Bolle’s posts on Boston’s cocktail scene, Jackson Cannon’s name will be familiar to you. As familiar, say, as that classic cocktail he likes to make — the Jack Rose.
Today on Radio Boston, Cannon will be talking with co-hosts Anthony Brookes and Adam Ragusea about the cocktail culture in Boston. The launching point is tonight’s Mad-Men inspired cocktail competition, a “mashup” being hosted by The Hawthorne on Commonwealth Ave., where Cannon manages bar. To this master mixologist’s mind, the Mad Men era of the 1960s was not exactly a hey day for cocktails.
