This week, veteran Seattle bartender and booze rep Kayleigh Blome reunites with her old pal and coworker Jeff to chat with us about nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks, along with the core functions of each, both obvious and obscure. Kayleigh recently switched from the bartender life to being a rep for spirits of all types, so they also tell us about their favorite ingredients for slingin' and then dig into their origins in the coffee world. They also really like to make fancy Jell-O shots.

Plus Meg and Kayleigh are big karaoke dorks, Kayleigh and Jeff reminisce about their Stampede Cocktail Club days and the Wild West of N/A drinks, and we all hate the word mocktail. Along with the rest of the world. It's some high-level cocktail wonkery this round—cheers! 🍸
