Our Spring / Summer 2024 premiere focuses on a set of crucial techniques for any hard core home bartender: making your own syrups. Sother introduces four techniques (stewing, steeping, juicing, and macerating) and we make all four – plus three awesome champagne-topped drinks – in this extremely packed and extremely fun episode.

Sometimes the smallest details make all the difference. This episode explores the impacts that tiny changes can have on your cocktail. We'll build three drinks, split each in half, and introduce one small difference in each pair: the bitters; the citrus twist; and proof of the base spirit. Plus, we'll make Citrus Oleo Saccharum, Floral Print Bitters, and start the process of barrel aging The Coward.

This episode is smokin' hot! We're going to show you how to smoke both cocktail ingredients and entire cocktails at home, using gear that only costs $4 (vs $150+ for the smoking guns typically used at cocktail bars). We’ll smoke chunks of pineapple to make our Smoked Pineapple Shrub, and we’ll be drinking The Coward,

Whether you're trying to serve fantastic drinks at your party without spending all night stirring and shaking, or just trying to save yourself some hassle at home by making easy-to-pour drinks in advance, this episode will show you the ropes when it comes to making large batches of cocktails at once. Plus, we make the winner and runner-up of last season’s Audience Cocktail Contest, and our final bitters!

Ever feel like you’ve learned how to make a million cocktails, but you can never remember any recipes when you need to? This episode covers two simple archetypes you can easily remember and use to create classic cocktails, or riff on them to create your own new ideas!
