A Tarantino kick and a nod to his cocktail selection. Beer pops? We taste Grey Goose. Lisa introduces “spiky” as a tasting word. “Did they invent the melon?” We taste Grey Goose Le Melon. Greg attempts to establish himself as “cool” ….and fails. “Is there voodoo involved?” Greg screamed like a young girl. “Where’s your dusty old books?” We make a Sazerac. “I’m so excited to have one in New Orleans.”

1 year of podcasting and 50 episodes!!! The podcasting history of Greg and Lisa. We turn out the lights and celebrate with a bottle of Absolut Spark (photo here). Vodka takes off stink and starches shirts. #sparkyournight We make an Aunt Agatha cocktail. The only goth we had in the 80s? “We owe papa a new funnel.” Great looking ice.

Greg’s insecurities and cultural vanity. We taste SAGE by Art in the Age. Wait…is this booze or aftershave? A gin without juniper. “It makes my knees sweat.” We make part 2 of the Lion series: a White Lion cocktail. Not named after the band. Greg re-uses Lisa’s joke…again.

“Those old, dusty books have scary recipes in there.” Greg loves What, When, Where, and How to Drink. Old, bald white men in suits. We taste Brancamenta. Neon orange shot glasses. Gin cocktails “so we can drink at work.” Overwhelmed by a PacMan orange. We make the Red Lion cocktail.

“Let’s go on a trip to New Orleans.” Tales of the Cocktail is coming up. What is chicory? We taste Hoodoo Chicory Liqueur. “Put it in pancakes.” It’s not a disease from tejano music, but we make a Tequonic. Lisa says it’s “classic.”
