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.

Spirits of the Big Easy (Part 2) - with Drew

This week, we are still joined by the wonderful Drew as we explore the drinking history of New Orleans! In this second half, we are going through some of the ups and downs of the city’s modern history, from the post-Prohibition decline of Bourbon street to the modern resurgence. Join us as we talk about the city’s seedier side, the birth of tiki, the Museum of the American Cocktail, and much more! 


Drink discussed:

Eye of the Storm

1 oz. Rod & Hammer Cask Strength Bourbon

½ oz. Shelter Distilling Peated Whiskey

1 oz. orange juice

½ oz. lemon juice

Crown and Hops Fruit Punch Tart Ale 

Combine all ingredients, save the ale, in a shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled. Open pour into a highball or footed pilsner glass, and top with fresh crushed or pebble ice. Fill to top with the tart ale, and garnish with a stirrer and orange wheel.
