Serving up Season 7 of Lush Life

Is it that time already…the leaves are falling, there is a chill in the air, and I’m back with a new season to keep you company.

I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is Lush Life Podcast, where every week, we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time.

Yes, next Tuesday, I bring you Season 7 of Lush Life.  This season it’s more of the same  - great conversations, great cocktails, and a few bar suggestions from around the world, plus some bar news added in for good measure!

We’ll be delving into Asian rice wine and spirits, Edwardian vodka, American whiskey, and that’s just the beginning!

Just a note that I have set up a new Patreon account, so if you love Lush Life, please consider supporting us - you could get Lush Life Merch, personalized bar suggestions, exclusive content, and so much more! Go check it out at patreon.com/lushlife.

And join me next week when class is in session.

I will also be learning how to read again - opening those dogeared cocktail books I’ve been devouring in the past year with the geniuses who wrote them.

So join me next week when class is in session.

I can’t leave you without a pre-season cocktail of the week or my pre-tail:

Since this time of year is all about apples - this is one of my favorite autumn cocktails. 

It’s the Avallen Autumn Old-Fashioned:

Ingredients

• 50ml Avallen
• 10ml Amontillado Sherry (I used Lustau)
• 5ml Maple Syrup and 
• 1 Large Barspoon Fig Jam

Method

• Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass:Stir to dissolve jam (10-15 seconds)
• Then add ice, and stir, stir, stir. 
• Double strain into a rocks glass with ice filled to the top
• Garnish with a slice of fig or apple or a fig and an apple

You’ll find this recipe, plus all the cocktails of the week, at ALushLifeManual.com, where you’ll also find all the ingredients in our shop.
