Let’s talk about the Enzoni with Vincenzo, or maybe Lauren from Fresh Kills.

Maybe it’s because this podcast is for high-nerd mixology elites, but I find it pretentious and long winded. I do learn some stuff though so there’s that. But yeah, do you need 47 minutes devoted to the Tequila Sunrise? Maybe. But this show doesn’t actually do that. They do deconstruct the drink. But, as often as not, they also destroy it. The host and guests alike have a hard time appreciating simple tastes and tend to get way too complicated in their reinterpretations of drinks. And much of the time is spent flexing about what amazing bars they have been to. It’s quite cosmopolitan, which has its place, but it isn’t very accessible. But again, you might learn something. You’ll just have to suffer through a lot of banter and superfluous information in the process.

By far my favorite podcast on cocktails. Detailed and entertaining, Tim is an expert host and the guests are amazing. My home bar is getting more and more out of control, but I don’t mind. 😜

I love this podcast so much and have listened through almost the whole catalog. Lately, however, the advertising from spirits companies and their reps have almost taken over the show. The two most recent episodes on the Bianco Negroni and reposado tequilas were basically just hour long advertisements for Luxardo and Herradura, the reposado episode being much more blatant. Still love most of the content which is why it’s still getting a 4, but hope they’ll consider toning down the advertising a bit. Regardless, Tim is an excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining host and I enjoy most guests!
