Our first podcast tasting of cognac. Cognac defined. “Very special other people’s property.” We taste Hennessey (Ryan McGinness edition bottle). Cocktails with cognac? Sophistication to ghetto drinking. Greg teaches us to make “Tinis” of various sorts. The ratio is 2:1.

Podcast 61- Skyy Vodka and Gin Old Fashioned

blog art version 1

“I caught you on a good year”: we go to the State Fair. Many types of fried food. Lisa talks about fried tequila shots. We taste Skyy Vodka. “If you haven’t heard Greg…” Greg’s signature drink? We taste Knickerbocker Barrel Gin, too, and make a Gin Old Fashioned with it. “Breaking records left and right.” The real reason for no orange garnish. An eyeball sucked out of a mummy. Lisa’s genius coffee mixing technique. The problem with stemless glassware.
