    Petty Betties With Pink Negronis

    In this episode, we sample a variation of the Negroni. This variation adds Burlesque Bitters (cue opening from "Lady Marmalade" - the best collaboration of early 2000s artists in existence) and Lillet Blanc to the classic recipe to create a truly wonderful, citrusy, complex experience! Listen to us talk about bitter moments in our personal histories as we learn about the man, the myth, the legend of Count Negroni, who apparently liked to dress up like a cowboy. Enjoy responsibly!

    Moscow Mules & A Lil Bit of Girl Power

    In this episode, we talk about the origin of the Moscow Mule and pay homage to Sophie Berezinski. Sophie journeyed from Russia to California with a mission and some luggage - specifically 2,000 copper mugs from her father's business, Moscow Copper Company. After threats from her husband to get rid of the 2,000 copper mugs from their home (but I mean can you blame him?), she started going door to door in Hollywood to find a seller. How does Sophie's story end? How did the copper mug become a Moscow Mule essential? Listen to find out more!

    Mojito Madness & All The Things Wrong with This World

    In this week's episode, we talk about the mojito, which has ties to the dark history of Cuba, involving the genocide of the Taino Arawaks and the slavery of Africans on sugar cane plantations. Unfortunately, the mojito continues to be a symbol of racism in Cuba as it differentiates the residents from the white tourists. While you enjoy this beverage, be conscientious of its background and let it fuel your desire to fight for equality and recognize the rights and entitlements of native communities across the world.
