We ignore all the cocktail party rules and talk religion! And booze. We drink the elixir of life and Lisa has mixed feelings. It’s a liqueur that’s been around before color! We do some patriotic drinking as we make the Liberty. Apples are hard to garnish with. Greg has another.

We reference the Alaska Cocktail and a Monk’s Old Fashioned at some point, too.

Greg gushes for quite a while about Steven Grasse. We do the world’s first podcast review of Spodee White…at least we think so. Here’s the old Spodee review (light switch included). Greg gushes some more about Steven. Lisa diverts us to Disneyland. “The tip of my tongue says whee!'” Kids and cocktails? “All of your inspiration is me.” We finish with another 1:1:1 cocktail, the first one Greg ever made.

Talkin’ prohibition. “We are against beating your wife.” Mason jars suck. “This moonshine is somewhere in my blood.” How do you use moonshine in cocktails? We make a grown-up chocolate Coke, the Piranha, and Greg is surprised that people like it. Lisa’s a crooked woman? Greg doesn’t know the rules about women.

Glow-in-the-dark cocktails served by the yard? Why do people drink more during the holidays? We consider whiskey with breakfast and drink two Maple Whiskies. Dry and tasteless cornbread. Has Lisa been tasting alcohol wrong all this time? Everybody loves a wet mouth. We make a Daiquiri thanks to Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s recipe. Not up to snuff as far as pirates are concerned. Greg says “crazy” or “insane” way too many times.

State drinks discussed, everything loses to bourbon. Never a Bud Lite cocktail. Genever pronunciations at we taste Bols Genever. “Is that an allergic reaction?” We make the #1 cocktail that is an Eagles song: the Tequila Sunrise. Grenadine talk (check out the comparison post here). We know our sunrises. Pour them slowly.

Episode 7 has a theme: all about Amaros. Acquiring a taste, or changing taste buds? “Bitter is a word that you say when things are bad.” We taste Fernet Branca (Lisa says it tastes “like a fairytale”), Campari, Cynar, Aperol, and Averna. Greg quotes himself. References are made to chocolate potato chips. Lisa makes a Negroni. Is it sophisticated to go without the orange?

Cocktail and food pairing, or as Lisa says, “nibbles.” Sneering in the face of cool, Greg admits to liking a brand-new flavored whiskey (listen in to see which one). Benefits of being friends with a chicken. What is 1/4 of a lime? Even though salmonella freaks people out, Lisa braves some egg whites while she makes a Pisco Sour.

A Game of Thrones themed cocktail followed by a brief Sharknado interlude. Greg makes a sweeping generalization about Don Julio Tequila. Tasting feet sweat. “You have a Mexican wife.” What do they age Tequila in? When to shake a cocktail. Lisa makes an easy dessert drink: the White Russian.

A tale of 3 vodkas (by Chopin). Lisa talks about ice castle fantasies. Can the ladies of “Orange is the New Black” make that? Get your utter out of my cocktail (unless it tastes good).  Greg threatens the show by claiming the “best cocktail ever” already. Do bartenders wink for tips?

We finish a bottle of rum, then discuss how rum bottles impress us. Riding up Guatemalan mountains on llamas. Zacapa 23 is a rum for whiskey lovers, maybe a good one to sip when smoking a cigar? Legos in the mint, but Lisa finally gets to use a muddler. Laughing in the face of the Limepocalype, Lisa makes a “gin mojito,” otherwise known as a Southside Fizz.
