    Ep. 106: Spirited Conversations - Mixing Up Junk Food Martinis with Hannah Chamberlain
    Apr 30 2025
    In this episode, we're shaking things up (literally) with author, home bartender, and cocktail influencer extraordinaire Hannah Chamberlain of @spiritedLA fame. Hannah joins us to discuss her viral "Drinking Wherever Bartenders Tell Me To" series, her peculiar "Icons of Misbehavior" creations, and those weirdly dirty martinis that might make traditionalists clutch their pearls. We dive into Hannah's journey from UCLA history grad to cocktail creator whose videos have been viewed over half a billion times online. Plus, we attempt to make her infamous "Junk Food Martini" complete with salt and vinegar potato chip-infused spirits and blue cheese stuffed olives. Whether you're a seasoned home bartender or someone who's just discovered the joy of mixing cocktails at 35,000 feet, Hannah's boozy etiquette from her book "How to Be a Better Drinker" will have you raising your glass with newfound confidence. Prepare for a spirited conversation that's equal parts informative, entertaining, and delightfully unconventional — just like Hannah's approach to cocktail culture. Salt & Vinegar Potato Chip Vodka Infuse 2 cups of Vodka or Gin with 1 cup of salt & vinegar potato chips Pour vodka into airtight container, add chips and set aside for at least 8 hours. Strain through coffee filter and keep in freezer. Junk Food Martini In mixing glass add: 3oz.

    Apr 2 2025
    Brad and Jules kick off with a daring taste of Chicago's infamous Malört — because what better way to prepare your taste buds for a journey? Despite this bold opening, the real star of the show is the considerably more palatable Flaming Dr. Pepper shot – which has nothing to do with Malört. While Jules crafts an elegant M&M shooter, Brad dives into the contested origins of the Flaming Dr. Pepper, separating myth from mixology as they attempt to uncover the true story behind this fiery favorite.

    Ep. 103: The Triple Origin Story of a Rock & Roll Classic – Tequila Sunrise
    Mar 19 2025
    Grab your grenadine, better yet, make your own, and fresh squeeze some oranges. Let’s make a Tequila Sunrise! Uncle Brad stumbles through the drink's contested origins, where two towns are locked in a cocktail custody battle—Tijuana and Phoenix both claiming parentage with zero willingness to share visitation rights. Our journey then wobbles north to California, where the undisputed modern version was shaped and became a rock and roll icon. Uncle Brad, who's never met a cocktail history he couldn't overexplain, walks us through two historical recipes while Jules—who believes every drink deserves an identity crisis and mezcal twist—throws convention out the window with her Oaxacan remix. Come for the history lesson, stay for the inevitable debate about which version is superior (spoiler alert: the one in your hand always wins). Tequila Sunrise Glass: Highball Glass Garnish: Cherry and Orange Taco Directions & Ingredients In glass add: Ice 2.0 oz Tequila Blanco 4.0 oz Fresh Orange Juice 0.5 oz of homemade grenadine Pour grenadine slowly over back of your spoon to let it sink to the bottom Stir gently from the bottom go give it a sunrise look Garnish with your cherry and orange taco Tequila Sunrise Spritz Glass: Collins Glass Garnish: Orange slice Directions & Ingredients In mixing glass add: 1.5 oz tequila 3 oz fresh orange juice 3 oz sparkling water 2 oz aperol, to top at the end for the sunrise effect Optional: top with champagne or prosecco Add ice, tequila, fresh orange juice, and sparkling water to a collins glass and mix together. Slowly pour in Aperol to see your sunrise effect. Garnish with an orange slice! Did someone promise Japanese bitters (Uncle Brad)? They are called, “The Japanese Bitters” (btw this is an unsponsored plug – they are delicious!) TIP: Favorite pre-made syrups for a bar. Thanks @starrsharkins!
