To mark a major milestone, we’re stepping outside our usual format to explore the evolution of cocktail culture over the last three decades — and the very reason this show is possible. Joining us are Mark Pascal and Francis Schott, better known as The Restaurant Guys, who operate New Brunswick's Stage Left Steak and Catherine Lombardi, and are credited with running the country’s longest-standing craft cocktail program.

In the final chapter of our three-part mezcal documentary, we turn our focus to the present and future of the category. Visiting the progressive palenque Lalocura and speaking with its founder, Eduardo Ángeles Carreno, AKA Lalo, we explore how industrialization, monoculture, and loose regulations threaten mezcal’s roots. We also learn how traditional producers are fighting back — and what that means for your next bottle. With insight from Lalo, our travel companion Ivan Vazquez, and voices across Oaxaca, we ask: Can mezcal stay true to itself as it conquers the world? And where — if anywhere — do cocktails fit into that future?

In Part 2 of our three-part mezcal documentary, we travel deeper into mezcal’s past, uncovering the ghosts that continue to haunt the spirit — from government crackdowns and corruption to secret hillside palenques and state-sanctioned Espadín monocultures. Joined by restaurateur Ivan Vazquez and legendary mezcaleros across Oaxaca, we explore how prohibition-era policies reshaped production, erased diversity, and left an indelible mark on the mezcal we drink today. This is a story of survival, adaptation, and the delicate balance between tradition and commerce.

In the first installment of our three-part mezcal documentary, we head deep into Oaxaca’s rugged Sierra Sur to trace the roots of this singular spirit. Alongside Los Angeles restaurateur Ivan Vazquez, we visit traditional palenques and meet the maestro mezcaleros working with wild agave, ancestral tools, and techniques at risk of disappearing. This is the story of mezcal before the boom — a spirit once made in secret, passed down through generations, and shaped by place, labor, and fire.

Coming July 17, we're sharing a special, three-part miniseries on the Cocktail College feed: Mezcal’s Untold Past, Soaring Present, and Fragile Future.
Together with LA-based restaurateur, Ivan Vazquez, we traveled down to Oaxaca, Mexico to meet with with several maestro mezcaleros, and to better understand what mezcal is all about. These small-scale, traditional producers represent generations of experience and keep mezcal's beating cultural heart alive. They showed us some time-tested techniques that give mezcal its signature character, told us of ancestral practices that are slowly being lost, and shared stories of a time — more recent than you would think — when mezcal production was demonized, criminalized, and even driven underground.

Listen on to learn Ward’s Division Bell recipe — and don’t forget to like, review, and subscribe!

A bold, minimalist blend of bourbon, coffee liqueur, and orange bitters, The Revolver looks like a Manhattan, leans like an Old Fashioned, and tastes like neither. Created by Jon Santer in the early 2000's, it proved to be a slow burn at first but it's since gone on to become a heavyweight among modern classics, featured on menus around the world. Listen on to hear how it all unfolded from Jon Santer himself, including how a debate with jazz musicians would inspire the Revolver's name; how an act of resistance against the local cocktail movement of the time would influence its composition; and how a flaming orange coin tied everything together. Oh, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
Jon Santer's Revolver Recipe

The Pepto-hued Pink Squirrel might sound like something dreamed up for a milkshake menu, but it actually has a solid history. And while its name hints at a novelty act, this is part of a deeper tradition — a sweet, creamy, post-war style of cocktail that’s rich in both texture and nostalgia. But how do you make a drink with almond-flavored pink liqueur and ice cream (in some circles) taste good? What separates it from the Grasshopper or the Brandy Alexander? And what the hell even is crème de Noyaux? To help us crack that nut, we’re joined by Liz Hitchcock, bar manager at Lullaby in NYC and mentor to many at Camp Runamok. Listen on (or read below) to discover Liz's Pink Squirrel recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
