    The Multiplicity of Drink Ingredients

    How far can you bend on drink ingredients before you completely break a recipe? Back in the summer of 2019 we took a crowd favorite cocktail, the Fiery Mandarin, and incrementally swapped out quality ingredients for a bunch of random stuff we happened to have on hand. The results were fine... until they weren't. In this episode we ruin a perfectly good drink, talk about Michael Keaton, continue talking about Michael Keaton, consume four cocktails, make an excellent Multiplicity reference, and discuss the keys to crafting a quality Fiery Mandarin - PLUS - a valuable lesson about true love!

    Golf and Puns and Golf Puns

    All three Always Parched hosts are back to recapture that fickle podcast magic. Did you know we were a sponsor at a golf tournament? Probably not because Micah didn't either - so let's chat about it! In this episode we talk about standard golf course drinks, ways to improve them, drink koozies, Always Parched canned cocktails, holiday batched cocktails, and more season three previews - PLUS - puns for days.

    Our Hypothetical Dinner Party

    Today we put together a three-course meal and cocktail pairing! Normally a menu would be meticulously planned and organized so the entire meal/drink pairing matched and flowed perfectly... your Always Parched hosts did none of that. In this episode we present three terrible food combinations, three terrific cocktail recommendations, two booze bottle gifts, and one baseball metaphor - PLUS - effervescence!

    Mint: Like We Said Before

    It’s an Always Parched first… we forgot to hit the record button. So - here we are again - talking about the magic of mint for the second time in two weeks. But it’s all good because sequels are always better than the original, right? Today we discuss mint as a boss move, mint in syrups, mint as a garnish, and mint gin - PLUS - the flavor profile of mint is… mint!

    The Current State of Bourbon

    Having a tough time finding that special bottle of bourbon? Same here - but why is that? Today we welcome special guest, Kyle Delly (The Hudson Eatery and Bar), to talk about all things whiskey - but more specifically - how the bourbon boom has affected the spirits market. In this episode we give a quick run down of bourbon categories, discuss the difficulties and ethics of engaging in the secondary market, and praise the process of finding the bourbon that is right for you (not necessarily the bottle that is most coveted) - PLUS - the future of bourbon and a pirate joke… if you’re patient.
