Join Uncle Brad and Jules as they explore the sophisticated world of the Bensonhurst cocktail in this episode of The Art Of Drinking. Uncle Brad kicks things off by sharing his recent Denver adventure and his visit to the iconic Cruise Room, one of his favorite watering holes. He then guides listeners through the step-by-step process of crafting the perfect Bensonhurst, complete with the full recipe so you can recreate this Italian-American gem at home.
Jules puts her own refreshing spin on the classic by introducing the Benny Spritz, a lighter, bubblier variation that's perfect for those who love a good spritz. Uncle Brad dives deep into the cocktail's fascinating history and shines a spotlight on one of its key ingredients—Cynar, the artichoke liqueur that everyone seems to mispronounce (we'll help you get it right!).
The episode wraps up with practical tips from both hosts on how to decode bar menus and recreate those mysterious cocktails you spot when you're out and about. Whether you're a home bartender looking to expand your repertoire or simply curious about the stories behind your favorite drinks, this episode delivers the perfect blend of technique, history, and insider knowledge.

Uncle Brad and Jules tackle the luxurious Brandy Alexander – a cocktail so smooth, it practically wears velvet pajamas. This creamy classic may have emerged from the shadow of its lesser-known (but equally delicious) parent cocktail, but it's earned its place as a dessert drink worthy of year-round appreciation.
Uncle Brad starts us off with the traditional Brandy Alexander, made the proper way with cream – because while our friends in Wisconsin might insist on ice cream, we're sticking to the original recipe that put this cocktail on the map. Then Jules shakes things up with her signature Root Beer twist, proving that sometimes the best innovations come from thinking outside the liquor cabinet. Uncle Brad digs into the fascinating origins of this sophisticated sipper and reveals the identity of its mysterious parent cocktail.
Whether you're looking to cap off a dinner party or simply want to treat your taste buds to something special, the Brandy Alexander delivers dessert-level indulgence in liquid form. Just remember: this is a nightcap, not a noon-time refresher... actually, don’t let us dictate policy, enjoy it whenever you’d like.

Join Uncle Brad and Jules as they brave the notoriously face-contorting Malort. Listen as these courageous libation explorers transform Chicago's favorite liquid punishment into surprisingly palatable cocktails, including Uncle Brad's recreation of the Swedish Seed that might actually make you want to drink Malort (trust him on this one, it’s like Root Beer for grown-ups).
Discover the twisted history of this infamous spirit, from its Swedish origins to its Chicago cult status, and learn how this beverage—described by critics as tasting like "grapefruit rind steeped in gasoline"—became both a beloved cultural touchstone and the city's favorite practical joke on unsuspecting tourists. We'll track Malort's journey from immigrant staple to near extinction, and its phoenix-like revival in the 2010s that cemented its status as Chicago's most masochistic rite of passage.
Whether you're a Malort veteran with the facial scars to prove it or a curious newcomer wondering "how bad could it really be?" (spoiler: bad), this episode promises equal parts history lesson and liquid courage. Listen in and discover why sometimes, the worst-tasting traditions are the ones we cherish most.
Swedish Seed
Glass: Coupe
Garnish: Orange peel

1.0 oz Malort

In this episode, we're shaking things up (literally) with author, home bartender, and cocktail influencer extraordinaire Hannah Chamberlain of @spiritedLA fame. Hannah joins us to discuss her viral "Drinking Wherever Bartenders Tell Me To" series, her peculiar "Icons of Misbehavior" creations, and those weirdly dirty martinis that might make traditionalists clutch their pearls. We dive into Hannah's journey from UCLA history grad to cocktail creator whose videos have been viewed over half a billion times online. Plus, we attempt to make her infamous "Junk Food Martini" complete with salt and vinegar potato chip-infused spirits and blue cheese stuffed olives. Whether you're a seasoned home bartender or someone who's just discovered the joy of mixing cocktails at 35,000 feet, Hannah's boozy etiquette from her book "How to Be a Better Drinker" will have you raising your glass with newfound confidence. Prepare for a spirited conversation that's equal parts informative, entertaining, and delightfully unconventional — just like Hannah's approach to cocktail culture.
Salt & Vinegar Potato Chip Vodka Infuse 2 cups of Vodka or Gin with 1 cup of salt & vinegar potato chips
Pour vodka into airtight container, add chips and set aside for at least 8 hours. Strain through coffee filter and keep in freezer.

Grab your grenadine, better yet, make your own, and fresh squeeze some oranges. Let’s make a Tequila Sunrise! Uncle Brad stumbles through the drink's contested origins, where two towns are locked in a cocktail custody battle—Tijuana and Phoenix both claiming parentage with zero willingness to share visitation rights. Our journey then wobbles north to California, where the undisputed modern version was shaped and became a rock and roll icon. Uncle Brad, who's never met a cocktail history he couldn't overexplain, walks us through two historical recipes while Jules—who believes every drink deserves an identity crisis and mezcal twist—throws convention out the window with her Oaxacan remix. Come for the history lesson, stay for the inevitable debate about which version is superior (spoiler alert: the one in your hand always wins).

Possibly the best way to enjoy Rum, according to Uncle Brad, is in a Hot Buttered Rum. It’s warm, holiday spices, and who doesn’t like the richness of butter? If you’ve never had one, don’t get all judge-y on us, this is lights out good. UB gives us a fool proof recipe and Jules puts a time period appropriate twist on it with Applejack, pecans, and maple syrup. Stick around for the colonial history behind the drink and we answer @annagouboy’s question, “what are some good bottle combinations for gift giving”.

We meet back up with the founder of Klaris, Chase Haider to talk about making ice. Yeah, we know, sounds easy – but there is a science here. Chase gives us the in’s and out’s of making clear ice (with or without a Klaris machine). Jules outs the budding bromance between Uncle Brad and Chase. Uncle Brad and Jules spin up a couple of cocktails; Brad makes the classic Penicillin and Jules puts here riffy-do on it.
