Every bottle contains a history, and Sofi and Vesta are going to get to the bottom of each, figuratively and literally. In this series we explore the cultural histories that spirits, liquors, distillers, and cocktails carry with them and into our own imbibing experiences. Why is Fernet the bartender’s shot? Why are Corpse Revivers #1-3 seemingly unrelated drinks? How does Campari secretly own everything? We don’t necessarily have the answers, but we’re going to BS about it and break some spirits.

Beyond An Acronym: The History of the IPA - (With Jordan Paley)

This week we are once again joined by the wonderful Jordan Paley as we dive into perhaps the most divisive beer style -the IPA! Where did IPA's originally come from? Why are they so popular? And what do those three letters actually mean? We talk about all of this and more on this week's episode of Breaking Spirits!

Cocktail Discussed:

Calcutta Cutter:

1 oz. Darjeeling Barrel Aged Gin

½ oz. Calisaya Liqueur

¼ oz. Hamilton 86 Demerara Rum

3 dashes Polynesian Kiss Bitters

Pizza Port Brewing's Swami's West Coast IPA

Combine all ingredients save the IPA in a highball glass with ice, and stir until well chilled. Top with fresh ice, and fill to the top with the IPA. Stir briefly, and serve with a straw.
