3/4oz white rum

3/4oz tequila

3/4oz gin

3/4oz vodka

Drink and talk about sex with Angel and Steven Russell! During Prohibition in the 1920’s and 1930’s, people had to whisper special codes to get into backdoor establishments to drink and dance. This kind of establishment became known as a Speakeasy. As we enter the 2020’s, we’re seeing an entirely different type of prohibition emerge: a prohibition on any content deemed sexual in nature, including sex education. Sex Ed Speakeasy will take a fun look at the history of sex and sex education and the impacts that history has on us today. We also have two mixologists who will be helping us choose a featured cocktail for each episode.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  The pilgrims were murderers and turkey tastes like napkins.

Speaking of pilgrims, you know the puritans hated sex, right?  Well you’re wrong!  I mean, you’re also right, but still wrong!  Turns out they were all about having sex, as long as it was for God.  So strap on into the tryptophan-mobile as we look at how the puritans had sex.

This episode’s cocktail is the Hot Toddy!

The weather is getting chilly, so warm yourself up with this delicious wintery drink.  But not too much, because too much alcohol turns it from a vasodilator into a vasoconstrictor, which will actually make you colder!

Angel & Steve’s Hot Toddy:

4 parts spiced apple cider

Cinnamon sticks

Apple slices

Orange slices

Bourbon (we used Wild Turkey 101 because it was on sale)

Nutmeg

Lemon

Honey

Heat the cider, fruit, and cinnamon over the stovetop and keep at a simmer until ready to drink.  Get your favorite mug and fill it with 4 parts cider, 1 part bourbon, a squeeze of lemon, and 1 tbsp of honey.  Garnish with a cinnamon stick, orange wheel, and grated nutmeg.

It’s the Kama Sutra!  In this episode we dive deep into the infamous text, and I think somehow forget to talk about the sex parts.  Turns out that’s just a small part of the book!  We also talk about the upcoming Tickle.Life project, Carnal Chemistry, an exciting NFT project where a group of international artists draw some of their favorite positions from the Kama Sutra.

This episode’s drink is the Gin & Tonic!

Gin

Tonic

Lime Wedges

Bitters (optional, we used Angostura Orange)

Fill a tall glass with ice, add the gin, the tonic, the lime wedge with an optional squeeze, and if you want, a drop of bitters.  You can eyeball the ratios, but start at 3 parts tonic to 1 part gin and see how you like it!

It’s Halloween!  In this episode we’ll look at the shocking origins of the chainsaw itself.  While its uses today are relegated to cutting wood and for chasing sex charged co-eds who found themselves off the main roads, its origins can be traced back to 18th century operating rooms, where it used for all kind of bodily excisions.  We’ll also take a look in some other spooky dark corners of sexual history.

This episode's drink is The Corpse Reviver #2!

Absinthe, to rinse

3/4 ounce London dry gin

3/4 ounce Lillet blanc

3/4 ounce orange liqueur

3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Rinse the inside of a chilled coupe or cocktail glass with absinthe, discard the excess and set the glass aside.

Add the gin, Lillet blanc, orange liqueur and lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.

Strain into the prepared glass.

The Industrial Revolution changed humanity in ways that had never been seen before or since.  As people moved to centralized industrial cities and worked closely together in factories, one of the largest changes we saw was the exponential population explosion we still see today.  In this episode we look at what dating culture looked like during this time, and how cultural traditions that had held for centuries would change forever.

This episode's drink is the Sangree!

1/4 tsp sugar

1 tsp water

3oz Brandy

1.5oz Madeira

Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake or stir, then strain into a glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.  Doesn't taste like Christmas, because don't come at me with that energy in October, it is strictly a fall drink.

It’s our first episode!  Today we’re talking about the handkerchief code, the practice popularized in the 1970s where gay men in the kink and fetish communities could signal to each other what activities they were into by wearing handkerchiefs of different colors out of the back pockets.  We also spend way too long talking about HBO’s Deadwood and the Mandela Effect.

--------------------------------------------------

This episode’s signature cocktail is the Harvey Wallbanger!

3oz Vodka

6oz Orange Juice

1oz Galliano

1 Slice Orange

Maraschino Cherry (optional)

Stir the vodka and OJ in a tall glass of ice, float the Galliano on top, garnish with the fruit and that’s it!  3 of these gave Steve a 2 day hangover.
