For this episode, we explore a coffee-based cocktail, the Quick Decision, which combines bourbon, dark rum, Irish cream liquor, and coffee liquor into a spirited, delicious concoction. Join us as we explore the history of coffee, which has been cultivated for consumption as early as the 15th century. What do goats have to do with coffee? What zodiac sign will be featured? Learn by listening to this episode about the Quick Decision!

In this month’s episode, we segue from a conversation about our worst friendship feuds into the historical battles between Chile and Peru, including the claim of ownership over Pisco and Pisco sours. Join us as we sip this (very strong but still delicious!) cocktail that has ties to the two nations, as well as Mormonism. Listen to find out more!

For the letter O, we explored another Prohibition classic - the Orange Blossom, made with orange juice, sweet vermouth, and gin or vodka. Katarina goes on tangents about variations that could be incorporated, including cinnamon and pineapple vodka. Which signs would sip? What do bathrooms have to do with this drink? Listen to find out more!

In this episode, we sample a variation of the Negroni. This variation adds Burlesque Bitters (cue opening from "Lady Marmalade" - the best collaboration of early 2000s artists in existence) and Lillet Blanc to the classic recipe to create a truly wonderful, citrusy, complex experience! Listen to us talk about bitter moments in our personal histories as we learn about the man, the myth, the legend of Count Negroni, who apparently liked to dress up like a cowboy. Enjoy responsibly! 

In this episode, we talk about the origin of the Moscow Mule and pay homage to Sophie Berezinski. Sophie journeyed from Russia to California with a mission and some luggage - specifically 2,000 copper mugs from her father's business, Moscow Copper Company. After threats from her husband to get rid of the 2,000 copper mugs from their home (but I mean can you blame him?), she started going door to door in Hollywood to find a seller. How does Sophie's story end? How did the copper mug become a Moscow Mule essential? Listen to find out more! 

In this week's episode, we talk about the mojito, which has ties to the dark history of Cuba, involving the genocide of the Taino Arawaks and the slavery of Africans on sugar cane plantations. Unfortunately, the mojito continues to be a symbol of racism in Cuba as it differentiates the residents from the white tourists. While you enjoy this beverage, be conscientious of its background and let it fuel your desire to fight for equality and recognize the rights and entitlements of native communities across the world.

In this week's episode, we try a variation of a classic cocktail that everyone either has a love/hate relationship with - the Long Island Iced Tea. We learn about the history of this beverage, including the fact that it does not originate in New York. We meet some new characters, including a gentleman who has a vanity plate that reads LI ICE T. Listen to learn more! 

In this episode, we try out (yet another) Prohibition Era beverage that has roots in Boston, Massachusetts. We talk about highball cocktails in general and how they are sure to deter the pushers/Johnny's-in-Accounting. Listen to learn more about the Kitty Highball! 

For episode 10, we revisited the Prohibition Era (big surprises there) and met some interesting characters, including a mob boss by the name of Bald Jack. Made with pomegranate grenadine and apple brandy, this "stiff but likeable" beverage pairs well with the always dramatic and feisty Leos.  Learn about the history of apple brandy in the Jack Rose and watch us discover our own mob names - Sunflower AKA Dandelion AKA Sunflower and Loose Lips AKA Daisy.

In this episode, we take a deep-dive into the world of blended beverages, beginning with the history of tiki drinks and transitioning into some contemporary favorites, like Hurricanes and boozy milkshakes. Get the recipe for the Irish Encounter, a dessert-y cocktail that remedies a sweet tooth. Buckle up as we discuss New Orleans fiascos, revisit some familiar cocktail legends, and discuss the Irish Encounter!
