256. Spring Wines with Claire Coppi, Pt. 2
April 16, 2024 07:00 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MBIt's Springtime, friends! That enchanting spell when Mother Nature peels off her chilly garb and dons a more revealing ensemble. It's that golden slice of the calendar when the globe stretches out, groggily murmurs, "How about we uncork a bottle?", and honestly, who are we to decline? As flowers burst into a riot of hues and trees deck themselves out in lush finery, there’s simply no grander stage for a delightful pour of wine. The air’s balmy, the days stretch lazily longer, and the wine? I...
255. Spring Wines with Claire Coppi, Pt. 1
April 09, 2024 07:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MBAh, Springtime! That magical season when Mother Nature shakes off her frosty duds and slips into something a little more comfortable. It's the time of year when the world seems to be stretching its limbs and saying, "Hey, how about a glass of wine?" And who are we to argue? As the flowers put on their Technicolor dreamcoat and the trees get all leafy, there's no better backdrop for a bit of vino. The air is warmer, the days are longer, and the wine? Well, it's like the liquid equivalent of a...

April 02, 2024 07:00 - 6 minutes - 6.21 MBImagine, if you will, a cocktail that stares back from the abyss with a frothy grin, daring you to dive into its depths. That, my friends, is the Death Flip. A concoction born of tequila's fire, Chartreuse's mystic herbal whispers, and a velvety curtain of egg white, this libation is not for the faint of heart. With a dash of sugar to sweeten the deal, it flips death on its head, offering a sip of the sublime. It's a ride on the wild side, a toast to the audacious, a testament to the bartend...
254. The Do's and Don'ts of Day Drinking
March 27, 2024 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBAh, day drinking, that glorious bastion of hedonism where time ceases to hold sway, and societal norms take a well-deserved nap. It's the art of declaring, "To hell with productivity!" before noon has a chance to turn its judgmental gaze upon us. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi to sipping something spirited as the sun gallivants across the sky, a brazen act of rebellion against the nine-to-five grind. Day drinking whispers sweet nothings of freedom, promising adventures that the night, wit...

3-Minute Bartender: Bloody Mary
March 05, 2024 08:00 - 3 minutes - 3.58 MBOh Bloody Mary, why are you so bedeviling to the brunching masses? What makes you okay to drink before 11 am?

251. American Whiskey & BBQ at Baby Blues
February 27, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBBarbecue and whiskey are a match made in heaven, or at least in the smoky depths of a pitmaster's dreams. The bold, robust flavors of barbecue, with its charred edges and succulent meats, find a perfect companion in the rich, complex notes of whiskey. It's a pairing that's as timeless as it is delicious. Recorded at the famed Baby Blues BBQ in Venice Beach, Dan is joined with the Yum Yum Foodie, Eddie Zamora, along with Baby Blues owner/pitmaster Rick McCarthy. They sample great food with so...

February 20, 2024 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBAh, the spirited history of U.S. Presidents and their beloved booze! George Washington, our founding father, ran a mean whiskey distillery at Mount Vernon. Thomas Jefferson, a true oenophile, had a wine collection that would make Bacchus blush. Honest Abe Lincoln, while not much of a drinker, did own a tavern in his younger days. Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Rider, was partial to a mint julep, sipped with the vigor of a man charging up San Juan Hill. And let's not forget FDR, who mixed up a me...
3-Minute Bartender: Hanky Panky
February 13, 2024 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.86 MBIt's time to learn a thing or two about the Hanky Panky cocktail, a bewitching concoction that whispers sweet nothings of gin and sweet vermouth, with a Fernet Branca flick that'll tickle your fancy like a feather in a magician's cap. Conjured up by Ada Coleman at London's Savoy Hotel in the early 20th century, it's the liquid equivalent of a sly wink across a crowded room. This potion's not just a drink; it's a spell of sophistication, a cheeky dance on your palate. Sip it, and presto! The ...
3-Minute Bartender: Long Island Iced Tea
January 30, 2024 08:00 - 5 minutes - 4.9 MBDespite its name, the Long Island Iced Tea has about as much to do with tea as our host has with teetotalism. Indeed, there's not a single drop of Earl Grey or Darjeeling in this bad boy. It's a masterclass in misdirection, the Houdini of highballs, if you will. A boozy Trojan Horse masquerading as a refreshing summer sipper, only to unleash its spirited fury once inside the gates of your palate. And Dan is here to tell you all about its history and preparation... in roughly the amount of ti...

January 16, 2024 08:00 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBDan has spent years researching and experimenting various combinations of food and alcohol and has come to a single, earth-shattering conclusion: We could all learn a lot from the Japanese. There’s seemingly no esculent the Japanese find so repulsive that a little steamed rice and soy sauce won’t fix, and this appetite for disgusting extends to potables as well. This got Dan thinking about convenient food stuffs that could be improved by the addition of alcohol… and in this episode he shares...

January 09, 2024 08:05 - 17 minutes - 15.8 MBSo we all know about Dry January, right? It's the time of year people boast about 'detoxing' while secretly crying into their non-alcoholic beer.

While not as famous as the Mai Tai or Singapore sling, it's every bit as tasty and — Dan contends — a more authentically "tropical" libation that the aforementioned.
