    Ep. 109: Hemmingway Daiquiri - The life, the legend, and libations of Ernest Hemmingway
    Jun 11 2025
    Think daiquiris are too sweet? Ernest Hemingway felt the same way. The legendary writer transformed this classic cocktail into something stronger, sharper, and infinitely more sophisticated. Today we dive into the Hemingway Daiquiri—a drink as bold and uncompromising as the man who inspired it. We'll explore how Papa's particular tastes created a cocktail that's equal parts refreshing and punishing, and discover why this literary legend's drinking habits became as famous as his prose.

    Ep. 108: The Brandy Alexander – Velvet in a Glass
    May 30 2025
    Uncle Brad and Jules tackle the luxurious Brandy Alexander – a cocktail so smooth, it practically wears velvet pajamas. This creamy classic may have emerged from the shadow of its lesser-known (but equally delicious) parent cocktail, but it's earned its place as a dessert drink worthy of year-round appreciation. Uncle Brad starts us off with the traditional Brandy Alexander, made the proper way with cream – because while our friends in Wisconsin might insist on ice cream, we're sticking to the original recipe that put this cocktail on the map. Then Jules shakes things up with her signature Root Beer twist, proving that sometimes the best innovations come from thinking outside the liquor cabinet. Uncle Brad digs into the fascinating origins of this sophisticated sipper and reveals the identity of its mysterious parent cocktail. Whether you're looking to cap off a dinner party or simply want to treat your taste buds to something special, the Brandy Alexander delivers dessert-level indulgence in liquid form. Just remember: this is a nightcap, not a noon-time refresher... actually, don’t let us dictate policy, enjoy it whenever you’d like. Brandy Alexander Glass: Coupe Garnish: Nutmeg Directions & Ingredients In shaker glass add: 1.5 oz Cognac / Nice French Brandy 1.0 oz Dark creme de cacao 1.0 oz of Heavy cream Ice Shake for 20 seconds or until it’s too cold to hold Strain into your coupe glass Garnish with fresh nutmeg Alexander the Float Rootbeer Alexander Float A boozy, creamy, spiced summer dessert cocktail Glass: Pint Glass Garnish: Nutmeg or shaved chocolate Ingredients: 2 oz Cognac 1 oz crème de cacao 1/2 oz heavy cream 2 oz root beer (chilled) 1 scoop vanilla bean ice cream Freshly grated nutmeg (optional) Instructions: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your glass Shake the brandy, crème de cacao, and cream with ice and strain into glass Top with root beer—slowly! Let it fizz. Garnish with a dash of nutmeg or a shaved chocolate float. TIP: Thoughtful question from @Susu_51295 about the differences between syrup, shrub, and oleo sacrum – essential knowledge for any home bartender looking to elevate their craft.

  • Ep. 107: Malort... What The Hell is Going on Here?

    Ep. 107: Malort... What The Hell is Going on Here?
    May 14 2025
    Join Uncle Brad and Jules as they brave the notoriously face-contorting Malort. Listen as these courageous libation explorers transform Chicago's favorite liquid punishment into surprisingly palatable cocktails, including Uncle Brad's recreation of the Swedish Seed that might actually make you want to drink Malort (trust him on this one, it’s like Root Beer for grown-ups). Discover the twisted history of this infamous spirit, from its Swedish origins to its Chicago cult status, and learn how this beverage—described by critics as tasting like "grapefruit rind steeped in gasoline"—became both a beloved cultural touchstone and the city's favorite practical joke on unsuspecting tourists. We'll track Malort's journey from immigrant staple to near extinction, and its phoenix-like revival in the 2010s that cemented its status as Chicago's most masochistic rite of passage. Whether you're a Malort veteran with the facial scars to prove it or a curious newcomer wondering "how bad could it really be?" (spoiler: bad), this episode promises equal parts history lesson and liquid courage. Listen in and discover why sometimes, the worst-tasting traditions are the ones we cherish most. Swedish Seed Glass: Coupe Garnish: Orange peel Directions & Ingredients In shaker add: 1.0 oz Malort 1.0 oz Root liqueur 1 egg white 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice 1.5 oz brown sugar honey syrup 2 dash angostura Dry Shake for 30 seconds Add ice and shake for 20 seconds more Double Strain into coupe Add orange peel garnish TIP: Question form Austin Elliot Strickland – Which is better, syrups or liqueurs?
