| 3-Minute Bartender: Harvey Wallbanger | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:06:57 | |
Harvey Wallbanger does indeed sound more like a lawyer you'd call after a fender bender than a cocktail you'd order at a swanky soirée. Whipped up in the psychedelic whirlwind of the '60s, this groovy concoction blends the slick, cool vibe of vodka with the bright, cheery optimism of orange juice, topped off with a mysterious float of Galliano. Donning a golden hue and a stature that rivals any lava lamp, this drink is as much a throwback to its era as shag carpets and bell bottoms, yet it's infinitely more delectable and significantly less of a fire hazard. Cheers to that!

| 3-Minute Bartender: Amaro Shakerato | 11 Jun 2024 | 00:05:18 | |
In the time it takes to walk an old dog, Dan reveals all about the Amaro Shakerato. It's like your wild Italian cousin who studied mixology instead of law. It's a frothy fiesta of bittersweet flavors that demands a shake more vigorous than a salsa dance off. This cocktail's a dark, mysterious concoction that's both bitter and sweet, kind of like most of Dan's exes. Shaken, not stirred, because apparently, that’s how we deal with our feelings now. It's the perfect drink to sip while pondering where you went wrong with your barista. Cheers, or as the Italians say, "Aiuto!"

Among the many vintage gems found in “Professor” Jerry Thomas’s illustrated Bar-Tender’s Guide of 1862, is a drink that originated in New Orleans called a Brandy Crusta. The recipe called for cognac, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and several types of bitters, served in a glass with a sugar “crust” (hence the name). Somewhere down the line, the Brandy Crusta was reimagined — sans bitters — and dubbed the Sidecar. This is that drink's story... in under 4 minutes!

| 3-Minute Bartender: Irish Car Bomb | 13 Jan 2022 | 00:04:30 | |
For the first time ever, we feature a drink for the sole purpose of canceling it. And that drink is the Irish Car Bomb. Invented by a pub owner in Connecticut who named it after an act of terrorism that has haunted generations of Irish citizens, needless to say this was not the American bartending community’s finest moment. Ah, but you know the old saw about dark clouds and silver linings... in the early-aughts, sales of Irish Car Bombs blew up stateside (sorry, couldn’t help ourselves) paving the way for an explosion (there we go again) in Irish whiskey’s popularity. Still, discerning drinkers are encouraged to steer clear, and here's why...

We begin 2022 with the always charming Zane Lamprey, former host of "Three Sheets" and "Drinking Made Easy," and the guy with whom we kicked off this whole podcast thing way back in the summer of 2019 B.C.

| 3-Minute Bartender: Dark 'n Stormy | 05 Jan 2022 | 00:04:35 | |
Yo, ho, ho! In the time it takes to sing an ol' sea shanty — and who doesn't love an ol' sea shanty? — Dan walks us down the plank and dives into the Dark 'n Stormy, an invigorating coalescence of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer that hails from Bermuda and derives its name from one of the worst opening lines in literary history. A kissing cousin to the Moscow Mule, it's an inviting drink with an ominous hue once described as "the color of a cloud only a fool or dead man would sail under."
