Let's Drink About It is a podcast that asks the question, what is the correct beverage to pair with any given moment in your life? Each week, hosts Chris and Ben sit down to discuss the events of their lives and which cocktails to pair with those events. We'll learn about cocktails, the theory and history of the mixed drink, and maybe even a little something about ourselves.
The Drinks:
Dry Martini
Rinse a chilled cocktail glass with dry vermouth and dump it out, then stir 2.5oz London dry gin in ice, strain it into the glass and garnish with a twist. You are now a grown up.
Soda Jerk (via)
2oz Blanco tequila
1/2oz Campari
1/2oz Lime juice
1/2oz Passion fruit puree (unsweetened)
1/2oz Vanilla Bean-Infused Agave Syrup*
1/2oz Egg white
2oz cream soda
Shake the booze, juice, purée, syrup and egg white, then add ice and shake again. Pour into a Collins glass, top with soda and garnish with lime zest.
Cherub's Cup (via)
1oz St-Germain
2oz Vodka, Cirtus Vodka, or Hendricks
3/4oz fresh lemon
1/4oz simple syrup
1 muddled strawberry

Shake and strain over fresh ice in a Collins glass. Top with Brut Rosé or Brut Champagne. Garnish with a slice of strawberry.
Baby's First Bourbon (via)
2oz Bulleit Bourbon
3/4oz Orgeat
3/4oz lemon juice
Dash of Angostura bitters

Ginger mint lemonade
1 part fresh lemon juice

Muddle the mint, add ice to your glass and mix juice and syrup in, top with seltzer.
