289. The New & Improved Liam Neeson Drinking Game 19:50

13 dagen geleden19:50

19:50

In Dan’s time so far on this spinning hell rock, he’s uncovered two key coping mechanisms for dealing with life’s relentless, inexplicable bullshit: strong drink and Liam Neeson, ideally in tandem. There’s a comforting, almost medicinal predictability to a Liam Neeson movie, kind of like a well-loved bottle of whiskey. Give it a few hours, and you know you’ll be left feeling warm, slightly numb, and just the right amount of brain-dead. Which brings us to the 2025 installment of The Liam Neeson Drinking Game, a surefire way to enhance any viewing experience involving cinema’s most dependable man of vengeance. The premise is simple: whenever Neeson does those things he always does, you drink. The result? A journey into well-lubricated oblivion, fueled by whiskey and righteous retribution. Join us as we put this theory to the test, one measured threat and reckless decision at a time.

3-Minute Bartender: Pornstar Martini 6:57

Welcome to 3-Minute Bartender , the podcast for people who love cocktails but have the attention span of a goldfish on Red Bull. Today, we’re diving into the Pornstar Martini, a drink so scandalously named, it’s practically clickbait in a coupe glass. This passion fruit-fueled beauty was created in the early 2000s by Douglas Ankrah, a London bartender who clearly knew how to get a reaction. It’s a slick combo of vanilla vodka, passion fruit purée, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, and a shot of prosecco on the side—because apparently, this drink wasn’t already extra enough. We’ll break down how to make it, why you shouldn’t cheap out on ingredients, and whether you’re legally required to wink when ordering one. Spoiler: You are. So grab your shaker, practice your best smoldering stare, and let’s get shaking. Three minutes, one cocktail, zero regrets.

288. Questionable Booze Brand Names 22:07

27 dagen geleden22:07

22:07

This week, Dan takes a deep dive into the bizarre, the baffling, and the downright ridiculous world of alcohol branding. Ever perused a liquor store shelf and thought, “Who the hell greenlit that name?” Well, you’re not alone. Dan’s rounding up some of the most questionable monikers in booze history, including Fat Bastard Wine (perfect for your next passive-aggressive dinner party), Bishop’s Finger Beer (which sounds either deeply religious or wildly inappropriate), and Pucker —a liqueur that’s one letter away from being the most honest marketing campaign of all time. But that’s not all, folks! Back by popular demand, it’s the return of Drinks of the Week! That’s right, Dan cracks open some whiskey, uncorks some wine, and bravely tests a few canned cocktails so you don’t have to. Will he discover a hidden gem? Will he be deeply, deeply disappointed? Will he mispronounce a fancy French varietal and refuse to correct himself? Tune in and find out.

Recorded in front of a packed house at the legendary Townhouse in Venice Beach, this special live episode of What We’re Drinking features none other than Glenn Howerton —actor, writer, and the man responsible for making sociopathic narcissism look downright charming as Dennis Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Glenn joins Dan and co-host Brad Japhe to talk about Four Walls , the Irish-American whiskey brand he co-founded with his Sunny cohorts Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day. They sip, they reminisce, they dive into whiskey geekery, and of course, they talk Sunny —the show that refuses to age, much like a well-kept bottle of Irish. Glenn also shares insights into his other work, from A.P. Bio to BlackBerry, proving he’s got range well beyond the hallowed walls of Paddy’s Pub. The night, emceed by the golden-throated Mike Dawson, kicked off with comedian Jimmie Bradley warming up the crowd, and more importantly, raised funds for local animal rescue Deity —because nothing says "good people" like getting tipsy for a noble cause. Laughter, whiskey, and philanthropy? Just another night at What We’re Drinking.

This episode of 3-Minute Bartender celebrates one of the most fascinating—and criminally underrated—cocktails of the early 20th century: the Blood and Sand . Named after a 1922 silent film about bullfighting, this drink is proof that sometimes the weirdest combinations create the biggest magic. Scotch, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and orange juice might sound like a boozy identity crisis, but in the right hands, it’s a masterpiece. And here’s the cherry on top—bartending legend Dale DeGroff himself joins us to share his thoughts on the Blood and Sand recipe. We’ll also dive into some Hollywood trivia, explore why this drink deserves a spot in your cocktail repertoire, and celebrate its resurgence in bars around the world.

Dan reflects on the profound heartbreak of the recent Los Angeles fires, which left a trail of devastation across the city he calls home. He also speaks from the heart about the recent passing of his beloved dog, Buna, whose absence has left a void in his life. Buna was more than a companion—she was a source of joy, comfort, and unwavering loyalty. In the midst of unimaginable loss, his memories of her serve as a bittersweet reminder of resilience and the enduring power of love, even in the face of tragedy.

The whiskies they're savoring? Only the finest: Hibiki Harmony, Nikka from the Barrel, Mars Iwai Komagatake, Kanosuke, and Chichibu. But it doesn’t stop there.

It’s the end of the year. The magical season where every critic, pundit, and unemployed know-it-all crawls out of their hole to slap you in the face with lists. Oh, the lists . “Best of this.” “Most compelling that.” Like you’ve been wandering through 2024 in some kind of cultural fog, just praying for some random chump to come along and tell you which Taylor Swift song defined your existence. What have you been doing all year? Living under a rock? Completely unaware of the Top Ten Ways to Make Your Coffee Taste Like Regret or the Most Overplayed Breakup Anthem That Made You Want to Gouge Your Ears Out ? Clearly, you need saving. And here comes Dan, because he, too, is a sucker for this ridiculous yearly tradition. So, fine—here’s his contribution to the nonsense: “The 63 Coolest Things About Drinking.” Why 63? Because lists with odd numbers are edgy now. So grab a drink, scroll through this thing, and let’s pretend this matters. If you can’t beat ‘em, at least you can toast to how stupid it all is. Cheers!

The Paper Plane is a drink so perfectly balanced, it could moonlight as a tightrope walker. Born in 2008 at the hands of NYC bar legend Sam Ross , this beauty is an equal-parts wonder: bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice, shaken into a frothy symphony of citrusy, bittersweet perfection. It’s light enough for summer, complex enough for winter, and just strong enough to make your in-laws semi-tolerable this holiday season. Served up in a coupe, it’s as sleek and stylish as its name implies. Buckle up for this high-flying edition of 3-Minute Bartender , where Dan takes the Paper Plane for a well-deserved spin.

Oxnard, California—a charming, sun-drenched coastal town better known for its strawberries and surf than for spirits. But that’s changing, thanks to the arrival of one of the whisky world’s most celebrated figures. Enter John Campbell, a man who spent over 25 years crafting single malt masterpieces at the iconic Laphroaig Distillery on Islay, Scotland. Now? He’s trading briny peat and windswept moors for California sunshine and a bold new challenge at Sespe Creek Distillery .Campbell’s name is synonymous with whisky excellence, a guy who’s had his fingerprints all over some of the most beloved Scotch whiskies on the planet. And now, he’s bringing that same legendary skillset to a scrappy upstart distillery nestled in the agricultural heart of Ventura County. It’s a move that’s equal parts unexpected and inspired, and you better believe Dan had to see it for himself. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into John’s incredible journey—how a kid from Islay grew up surrounded by whisky lore, mastered the craft at one of Scotland’s most revered distilleries, and ended up transforming spirits in a sleepy California beach town. Plus, we’ll get an inside look at what he’s working on now at Sespe Creek and what’s next for this whisky pioneer turned SoCal trailblazer.

Dan kicks things off with a wild recounting of his first brush with the future—zipping around town in a driverless Waymo. Imagine the excitement (and a touch of terror) as he sits back, trusting the wheel to a car with no driver. Spoiler alert: it’s a smooth, freakishly calm ride… until it takes him down a one-way street in the wrong direction. Just kidding! But he’ll have you gripping your armchair like you’re riding shotgun. Next up, Dan raises a glass in memory of the legendary Quincy Jones, who left us this past weekend. Expect no tearful eulogies here—just pure, unadulterated admiration for a music giant whose talent was as vast as his influence. Then, it’s time for some big news: Dan’s back at it with his newest venture, Substack. That’s right, he’s writing again, and he’s got some words for you. Brace yourself. Finally, we're diving into our fan-favorite segment, “Drinks of the Week,” where Dan gives the lowdown on two new expressions from Woodinville Whiskey (think rich, warm, and ready for winter) and a sweet, sultry liqueur straight out of Southern Spain.

Remember, with absinthe, you don’t just drink it, you negotiate with it. Pour, dilute, sip, and repeat—like Dan's attempts at adult responsibility.

The Clover Club cocktail is one of those drinks that makes you feel like you've been invited to a secret society meeting, where everyone’s wearing velvet smoking jackets and discussing the finer points of monocle craftsmanship. Born in pre-Prohibition Philadelphia, this elegant mix of gin, lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white was the toast of the Clover Club, a swanky all-men’s social club. Back then, it was the kind of cocktail you'd order if you wanted to seem like the most interesting guy in the room—without even trying. Today, it’s back on menus, and popular as ever. And don’t let the pink hue fool you,. This drink has enough punch to remind you that sophistication doesn't have to mean boring. It's a cocktail with class and just enough zing to keep things interesting.

Yo, ho, ho! In the time it takes to sing an ol' sea shanty — and who doesn't love an ol' sea shanty? — Dan walks us down the plank and dives into the Dark 'n Stormy, an invigorating coalescence of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer that hails from Bermuda and derives its name from one of the worst opening lines in literary history. A kissing cousin to the Moscow Mule, it's an inviting drink with an ominous hue once described as "the color of a cloud only a fool or dead man would sail under."

Tailgating is where culinary alchemy meets liquid artistry—a pre-game spectacle that’s less about the final score and more about the sizzling symphony of the grill, the cold embrace of a well-poured drink, and the joyous blur of camaraderie. It’s that sacred space where friendships are grilled to perfection over spicy wings, cold beverages, and the kind of choices you might not brag about later. Tailgating: where parking lots morph into arenas of epic indulgence. In this episode, Dan is joined by Eddie "the YumYumFoodie" Zamora and Rick McCarthy, the BBQ wizard behind Baby Blues in Venice Beach, CA, to dive deep into the art of America’s favorite pastime. Expect world-class BBQ dancing harmoniously with the liquid legends that are Ford's Gin, Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum, and Kastra Elion Vodka.

3-Minute Bartender: Boulevardier 8:06

In a few shakes of a lamb's tail, Dan tips his hat to the Boulevardier, that urbane cousin of the Negroni. Swapping out gin's juniper jab for whiskey’s warm embrace, this cocktail mingles sweet vermouth and bitter Campari, achieving a rich, ruddy hue. Conceived in the roguish Parisian circles of the 1920s, where expatriates like Erskine Gwynne heralded its creation, the Boulevardier whispers of smoky parlors and literary wit, an elixir not just sipped, but savored.

History tells us that anything that becomes popular is immediately beaten to death with a shovel. This has certainly been the case with Pumpkin Spice Lattes, or PSLs for those who find syllables too burdensome. In this episode, our intrepid host declares it’s time to admit we’ve reached the pinnacle of pumpkin spice mania. The higher we’ve climbed, the harder the inevitable fall. When the PSL backlash hits, it'll be brutal, and Dan will be hailed as a prophet. And since we’re smack dab in the middle of summer vacation season, Dan would like to offer a public service announcement: The Do’s and Don’ts of Summer Vacation Drinking.
