June 19, 2024Ep. 76: Today is not a day to count calories– Pink Squirrel and Dairy-free Squirrely Girl
Who doesn’t love ice cream and booze mixed together? I’ll tell ya who, Jules but that’s ok, she has a great recipe that doesn’t use dairy. In this episode we cover the classic Pink Squirrel and Jules’ dairy-free Squirrely Girl. They are nutty and delicious. Uncle Brad gives us the scoop on the history behind the drink and together we tackle Mary Kate Schuster’s question, “What are your favorite drinks/recs for new home cocktail makers to try as they get into cocktails?”

3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, what’s a scoop look like, about the size of a tennis ball.
1oz of half & half
¼ cup crushed ice
1.5 oz creme de noyaux (Tempus Foo-git)
1.5 oz white creme de cacao
Whiz it aournd until it’s smooth
Pour into your chilled goblet or hurricane glass
Garnish with whipped cream, nutmeg, and a cherry

Jules Pink dairy-free squirrely girl version
In your blender or shaker tin add,
1/2 oz Almond liqueur
½ oz cherry syrup
¾ oz white creme de cacao

June 05, 2024Ep. 74: Spilling the tea – Long Island Iced Tea
If there was ever a drink with a reputation, this is definitely it. Uncle Brad and Jules get into making a proper Long Island and Jules puts a twist on it with Jamacian Rum, Mint, and Bourbon... I mean, why not? Uncle B gives us the history behind the drink, and there’s a little drama to share. Then Brad takes on a great question from Nathan Batley (all the way from Winchester, UK). He’s been reading up on the old cocktail books like The Savoy Cocktail Book and Cafe Royal Cocktail book and asks, “could you outline the different measurements used like glass, wine glass, liqueur glass, etc (also talk about the ratios and what that means)?”
We got you covered Nathan... mostly.
