We're uncovering the tantalizing history behind how this provocatively named drink burst onto the cocktail scene, tracing its roots through the wild landscape of Reagan-era mixology. Nancy would not approve. 

Join us as we break down the perfect technique for crafting this classic cocktail, and Jules’ riffy-do Where’s The Beach. Then we’ll explore how the Fuzzy Navel's popularity paved the way for this drink and a slew of other attention-grabbing names.

Possibly the best way to enjoy Rum, according to Uncle Brad, is in a Hot Buttered Rum. It’s warm, holiday spices, and who doesn’t like the richness of butter? If you’ve never had one, don’t get all judge-y on us, this is lights out good. UB gives us a fool proof recipe and Jules puts a time period appropriate twist on it with Applejack, pecans, and maple syrup. Stick around for the colonial history behind the drink and we answer @annagouboy’s question, “what are some good bottle combinations for gift giving”. 

TIP: Bottle combinations for holiday gift giving
