Customer Reviews
I’ll toast to this podcast
What a wonderful mix of learning; religion and drinks. It truly is a podcast in search of De beata vita.
What a Joy
This podcast is a joy. It is like gathering around the kitchen island making cocktails with (very smart and delightfully funny) friends. So much learned about cocktail culture, theology, lives of the saints…so fun!
I hope they make a drink for Saint Joseph’s Day
Great new podcast; unique how it approaches the faith in a very fun way. I hope they make a new drink for Saint Joseph’s Day.
