Sticky Fingers & Sugar Holes: When Cocktails Get Real (with Lemons)
Do you have a bag of lemons and no idea what to do with them? Join us as we transform citrus into classic cocktails while unveiling our exciting new format that will take our show on the road!
When our guest brought an entire bag of lemons instead of just the two requested, it sparked an impromptu exploration of lemon-based cocktails. We kick things off with our "Limosa" (lemon mimosa) – a simple yet refreshing blend of sparkling wine and lemonade that some of us enhance with a splash of gin for a French 75 variation.

Between sips, we share our newest initiative – the Man Cave Roadshow! After realizing we've never actually broadcast from anyone's personal man cave, we're changing that by visiting friends with extraordinary spaces. From a backyard tiki bar called "The Blue Footed Booby" to a basement full of bourbon collections, an 1800s-style saloon in a carriage house, and even a 3,000 square foot garage filled with race cars and vending machines – we've got an exciting lineup of locations planned.
The cocktail journey continues as we craft the historic Aviation, a Prohibition-era purple cocktail dating back to 1916, featuring gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and the elusive crème de violette. We follow this with the classic Sidecar, quickly discovering that sometimes tradition needs adjustment when the sugar rim overwhelms the delicate cognac, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice mixture.
Throughout our spirited conversation, we share practical tips about cocktail techniques, proper glassware, ice options, and making adjustments to suit personal taste. The chemistry between hosts creates a comfortable atmosphere that makes complex cocktail concepts accessible and entertaining.
Ready to show off your space? We're looking for more unique man caves, home bars, and wine cellars to feature. Reach out through our social media and let's raise a glass in your personal happy hour haven!

And then I you were like, can I bring anything? I'm like, bring a couple lemons.
August Gitschlag: 1:27
And you brought this bag of lemons well, it was like two lemons for four dollars or a whole bag of lemons for two dollars, but I don't, I mean, I don't want to go bad so I'm thinking oh well, we could do like lemon cocktails yeah, um, and so that's the premise uh, just you know seven days mean not bad leftover.
Mrs. Vino : 1:43
It's got some appeal on them, so I just cracked this.
Jamie Flanagan: 1:45
I cracked this LeBlanc fizz and this is a reasonable fresh simile of champagne.
Mrs. Vino : 1:53
Yeah Well, it's not champagne, it's just sparkling, but it's better than what you had, it's better than the swill I had. Okay.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:01

I usually post the wrong person up. When I make a mimosa, or now the lemon mosa, I usually go light. I went a little light on that.
Mrs. Vino : 3:38
Are we going to put some lemon slices? Am I slicing something?
August Gitschlag: 3:44
instead of popping. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mrs. Vino : 3:47

Jamie Flanagan: 5:10
Add a little gin into it and it's a French 75.
August Gitschlag: 5:13
A champagne cocktail.
Mrs. Vino : 5:16
Those are my favorite, by the way, whenever it comes to cocktail making, I have a couple books at home where it's just wine-based or sparkling wine based cocktails, but.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:25
I thought, August, as you started talking about that, I thought you were going to bring up the new initiative, which is two reasons I'm wearing the T-shirt I'm wearing. It's the only thing close to a yellow I had. It's more of a mustard colored. I'd say, Ms Vino, you are a lemoned up and a lovely sunshine yellow shirt.
Mrs. Vino : 5:44
You would think it's nice and warm outside, but it's definitely not.
Jamie Flanagan: 5:48
It's not, but the new initiative and this bar is from my friend, will and Renee. They got a tiki bar in their backyard and they call it the blue footed booby. I love it and they made up shirts for their backyard tiki bar and it's like I love boobies on the back.
Mrs. Vino : 6:03
Oh yes, we got to see this, yes.
August Gitschlag: 6:08
There's a bird theme there I get it.
Jamie Flanagan: 6:11
Silly, silly, silly, but the plan. August, you had a scathingly brilliant idea. And I had actually talked to Will about his tiki bar, for just such a thing.
August Gitschlag: 6:20
Well, the man cave happy hour. We haven't actually been in anyone's man caves, this is our own man cave. Yeah, so we have. We've done bars, we've got bars restaurants. This is my man, this is his man, so that's where the name came from. But I have friends that have insane man caves. I'd love to show that crap off. So we start reaching out to some of our friend groups and saying, hey, let's see your man cave and talk about what you're doing and it doesn't sound dirty, but it does, but it isn't yes, I mean it could be.
David Wright: 6:46
Could be, depends on whose case we go to, that's right.
August Gitschlag: 6:49
What neighborhood we're in?
Mrs. Vino : 6:50
what about she sheds? Remember the first time we'll get to there oh, okay, it's got it.
August Gitschlag: 6:55
We have to vet it out going scrapbooking with you, carl, that's my mother-in-law's gig, that's not, not my gig.
Mrs. Vino : 7:02
I just give her photos, here you go.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:05
But yeah, so that's kind of the thing we're going to do it, because I had talked to Will about doing an episode from his tiki bar, his man cave. And then Mike Morris he was on the Animal Talk show, the attorney. He's like he goes, you guys do bourbon, he goes. I got a basement full of stuff that would be fine. I'm like, well, we're coming to your house, dude, so I want to. I want to get some.
August Gitschlag: 7:27
I want to get to mike's house, uh and then there's a few other people that I got a buddy of mine, who was actually a picture of his basement, was featured on that toys that made us tv series on netflix.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:35
Good lord for wrestling toys, he has a world-class wrestling toy.
David Wright: 7:39
All right, it looks like a retail store the way things are all set up and I love it.
August Gitschlag: 7:44
And he has walls of bootleg, you know concert footage, all kinds of great stuff. So he's a. Really it'd be interesting to talk to a guy I grew up with, so we'll book that one. And then I got a couple of big bourbon guys. Uh, my buddy zach built a 1800 saloon in his carriage house and he's ready to show that one off.
David Wright: 7:59
So that's down in boston well, yeah, my carriage house is nowhere near that, I know right, I'm just saying I haven't done anything with it.
August Gitschlag: 8:07
Got another buddy with a you know 3,000 square foot garage.
Mrs. Vino : 8:11
Oh my gosh, Full of race cars. It's bigger than my house. Yes, full of race cars and stuff.
August Gitschlag: 8:15
He's got his own vending machines in there, nice.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:20
So yeah, we got options. So that is on the horizon, like going out to people's man cave. So if you want to show off your man cave, you want to have us in. We got the little remote set up. We will come and drink your booze.
August Gitschlag: 8:33
And we'll even take our shoes off if you want us to.
Mrs. Vino : 8:35
Yeah and if you have a really cool wine cellar too. I would be more than happy to sample.
David Wright: 8:39
Judge it.
Mrs. Vino : 8:42
I have a Coravin. I have the fine needle, it's all good. I have a Coravin, I have the fine needle, it's all good.
August Gitschlag: 8:49
Little samples. They call them wine thieves, right.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:52
Yeah, Another thing it's March 24th. It was my father's birthday Cheers to Polly.
Mrs. Vino : 9:01
Cheers to daddy.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:03
We love him. My brother sent me a text this morning. I'm the youngest, he's second oldest, and he sent me a text. He's like happy birthday dad to me and my sister. I was like wow, he's never done that before, so I'm like I miss him too. So yeah, anyway, I just didn't want to let that go without saying happy birthday to dad cheers um, and it popped up on the on the feed that it's national cocktail day.
August Gitschlag: 9:31
I did not know it was it's always national cocktail day when we're around it's, it is, it is.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:35
I mean, you gotta give me something better like grilled cheese day or something we can combine we can find some, I'm sure we can queso. Yeah, so there was something else on my agenda of things to acknowledge.
August Gitschlag: 9:50
I didn't know if I was going to be on point today. I was dragging ass all day. We had one heck of a Nain Rouge yesterday. We were down there in the midst, in the middle of it all.
Mrs. Vino : 9:58

There's a lot of different lemons, but two of the classics on the list, like I said, were the sidecar and the aviation. The aviation had a pretty interesting story. We'll put the links to these lists. The list I found was on delishcom, but after you look at two articles they're like oh, you're out of your free articles and I couldn't see them anymore. And I get it. These people are trying to earn a living, and I get it.
Mrs. Vino : 18:48
Pinterest.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:51
But yeah, so I went and I found another one Kitchen Swagger. Is that the name of the website? Yeah, I went and found another one, kitchen Swagger.
Mrs. Vino : 18:56
Is that the name of the website?
Jamie Flanagan: 18:57
Kitchenswaggercom and Sean Williams curates the aviation cocktail recipe, which calls for gin. This is a Prohibition-era martini consisting of gin, maraschino liqueur, gin lemon juice and the, the cream de violet, um, and then a lot of things during prohibition were to cover up that, whatever you were drinking, was made over the hell out of it yeah, made in somebody's bathtub and strained through their sweat socks um you know, you know you make do yeah desperate timesate times.
August Gitschlag: 19:31
Yeah, yeah, so but the aviation Prison toilet gin, you know.
Jamie Flanagan: 19:34
Supposedly created by Hugo Enslin, right? He wrote that it was first published 1916 in his recipe for mixed drinks. Wow, so, yeah, so the aviation goes back that far. It's well-known classic, it's hated and loved, so hopefully we'll love it, the ones we made. Last week we had some good cocktails last week we had some good ones.
August Gitschlag: 19:57
We had some classic cocktails that none of us liked.
Jamie Flanagan: 20:00
Yeah, Negroni just did not go over well with us.
Mrs. Vino : 20:05
I love Negroni. It was way too bitter.
August Gitschlag: 20:08
Maybe it was just because the other stuff wasn't like. Our faces weren't ready for the bitterness. It didn't go over well, I don't know. I don't know.
Mrs. Vino : 20:16
You needed a sommelier to tell you what to taste. One, yeah, dried sweet.
Jamie Flanagan: 20:21
So this calls for coupe glasses but I only.
August Gitschlag: 20:23
We're just dudes drinking honey. We're not doing it in order.
Jamie Flanagan: 20:27
I only, yeah, I only got one got one boss of us oh no. No, I just know there's just one man. I'm in the boss, that's right. He's not here. No, you pretty much got us too. You can be, you can be lost. We're pretty easy all right.
Mrs. Vino : 20:43
What are we doing now?
Jamie Flanagan: 20:44
the aviation we're gonna do the aviation. Uh, we're gonna launch, launch things with the aviation take flight uh it's uh yeah, so well, let's just do this. And it's cool, this, this, uh kitchen swagger website.
Mrs. Vino : 20:58
It's got the ingredients and you can one times it, two times it or three times and it tells you right there so none of these math shenanigans that we've had to deal with before yeah, you don't want to be doing math or crunching numbers when you're making cocktails. It's not fun, no fun at all.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:16
It was my impression there'd be no math. That's one of my favorite Saturday Night Live lines. It's Chevy Chase making fun of Henry Ford.
August Gitschlag: 21:25
Oh, no, no, no, is it Henry Ford? He was Gerald.
Mrs. Vino : 21:28
Ford.
August Gitschlag: 21:29
Henry.
David Wright: 21:29
Ford is the car guy, gerald Ford the Michigan guy. Yeah, the.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:34
Michigan guy, Michigan man. So he's in the presidential debates and they're making fun of him. He's like what's your top 10 something? It was my impression to be no math. It wasn't even a math question.
Mrs. Vino : 21:51
He was like just counting.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:55
So the uh, you know inflation is 72%. What, uh, what do you do about that? It's my impression of being no math Any, uh, uh, all right, four and a half ounces of gin. This is, this is making three, but we can divide it up right, we don't?
August Gitschlag: 22:08
need. This is to be the first time I've ever had that creme de violette stuff. It's another thing that's sat on a bar for about 30 years. I looked at and never opened.
Jamie Flanagan: 22:16
Oh, did you have one.
August Gitschlag: 22:17
There was one sitting at Whiskey for years.
Jamie Flanagan: 22:19
Well, here's the story on that right, Because it was like I said, it was a Prohibition-era cocktail. The company went away and the liquor went away for quite a while, and so it wasn't available, so people weren't really able to make.
August Gitschlag: 22:32
I feel like they were dumping it on bars.
Mrs. Vino : 22:33
They're like here, put this bar behind your, put this bottle behind your bar yeah, you need, yeah, you need it for this one drink, right, this one cocktail that no one will ever order right that woman's gonna come in and order.
August Gitschlag: 22:43
Unless we're going back to 1971, twa first class, you know then oh, this is too much.
Mrs. Vino : 22:50
I don't think it's too much Are you counting over there?
August Gitschlag: 22:52
I'm counting on you to make this cocktail right. All right, what was that?
David Wright: 22:59
It was four and a half. I needed a four and a half.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:02
Now I need one and a half of the lemon juice.
Mrs. Vino : 23:05
There you go.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:06
Lemon.
Mrs. Vino : 23:07
No spilling.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:07
Lemon, lemon, and that's something that we learned Kristenisten.
Mrs. Vino : 23:11
You know about the shaking, shaken or stirred, why and when well, I'm I'm sure it has something to do with aerating it air raid bitches so it's uh but, yeah, it's uh.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:26
When you have uh fruit, when you have fresh fruit, you're supposed to, you're supposed to shake it. Supposed to's supposed to be shaken.
Mrs. Vino : 23:34
Because of the acid content? I don't know.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:37
The Luxardo.
August Gitschlag: 23:39
That goes in my last word my favorite cocktail.
Mrs. Vino : 23:42
Yes, that's one of my favorites too. Why? Because there's champagne in it.
August Gitschlag: 23:48
Oh wait, a second the chartreuse is just such a unique cocktail.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:51
Fuck. I poured way too much gin in this.
Mrs. Vino : 23:56
Yeah, you did. I know you weren't counting, I was counting.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:59
There's like eight in here. I thought I put four. I went one, two, three, four, but I went two ounces.
Mrs. Vino : 24:06
I know you're doing hair of the dog, but you're going to be joining us.
August Gitschlag: 24:11
Just keep going, we're having more. Yeah, just keep going, we're having more, keep going. It's a cocktail, you really can't screw it up.
Mrs. Vino : 24:20
I'm just going to do Just take some more charcoal pills.
August Gitschlag: 24:23
Just pretend that's a one and do the rest, I know that she's a fancy sommelier and all that, but she's not actually going to grade you on this.
Mrs. Vino : 24:30
Yeah, I'm not going to grade you.
August Gitschlag: 24:31
There's no report card. Jamie, we won to grade you on this, yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:32
I'm not going to grade you. There's no report card. Jamie, we won't talk about you. We won't grade you, but I need more lemon Well you have lemonade right there too. Now he's doing math Now he has to do recovery math. Yeah, recovery math. You have lemonade in front of you. It's just as good. Yeah, yeah.
Mrs. Vino : 24:45
Did you hypnotize them over there?
David Wright: 24:48
No, because I would have hypnotized him to do it right.
August Gitschlag: 24:50
No, maybe you're hypnotized me to stop eating potato chips, I my, so that's why I was talking.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:57
I gotta see, I gotta stop and let you guys talk once in a while.
Mrs. Vino : 25:01
Oh well, I need, I need some cause.
August Gitschlag: 25:02
I need your goddamn permission to talk.
Jamie Flanagan: 25:05
Right, all right. What do I got there? I got that. I got that in the brown bag.
August Gitschlag: 25:10
We do have Catherine's extra set of hands over here. She can bar back for us.
Jamie Flanagan: 25:15
Alright, there's that. And then the creme de violet. I needed Violeta. What math are you on now? I needed .75. It's going to be a really full cup.
David Wright: 25:28
I'm going to throw two.
Jamie Flanagan: 25:31
Why is this so bloody full and I'm like, oh wait, a, oh wait, a second, put a pint of gin in it I'm already, I'm I'm already gonna prep myself with some uh, functional mushrooms. All right, mushroom, that's mushroom non-alcoholic drinks over there.
Mrs. Vino : 25:48
You got yeah, it's, uh, it's like a mezcal ash okay, okay.
Jamie Flanagan: 25:52
Your favorite August. I hate that shit, Smoky.
Mrs. Vino : 25:54
You don't like smoky spicy, it's like scotch no, scotch and mezcals she loves the mezcals, it's her
David Wright: 26:00
jam.
Mrs. Vino : 26:02
Not his jam. Throw a couple ice cubes in here, if you want. Are you using one of our official?
August Gitschlag: 26:06
Glassware sponsor glasses, yeah, firebird.
Mrs. Vino : 26:09
Which the official dresser sponsor.
August Gitschlag: 26:11
She'll be working on opening day. I broke one, did you? We'll get them replaced. I was talking to Owen a couple weeks ago. He wants to do this again.
Jamie Flanagan: 26:19
I broke a.
August Gitschlag: 26:22
I do want to hit their Troy location this summer. With that patio it's just lovely.
Jamie Flanagan: 26:25
Here's the dealio. Here's the dealio with this. It's supposed to be in a coupe glass, but I only had one coupe glass here that was a coupe. It's like gatsby 1920s flapper era the flat champagne oh the flat.
August Gitschlag: 26:40
Yeah, okay, all right it's all for show.
Jamie Flanagan: 26:42
By the way, all the bubbles leave it yeah so, but uh, what else it's supposed to be in that with, uh, with a luxardo garnish? I had rocks glasses and that's what we're using.
David Wright: 26:58
We can drink out of that, just fine.
August Gitschlag: 27:03
It looks like a kid's drink. It's so purple. Do we have ice for this, or is it supposed to be straight?
Jamie Flanagan: 27:10
up. No, it's supposed to be straight up.
August Gitschlag: 27:12
All right, we've got some great drink, pretentious fucking drink. It has to be straight up.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:20
There you go. Yeah, so throw a Luxardo in there, if you can gear a couple Luxardos for us.
August Gitschlag: 27:27
That used to be a Luxardo. I don't know what it is now.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:32
Kilt it.
August Gitschlag: 27:36
I love my little tiki guy. It's a great little, it's a nice piece.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:38
I was, uh at the I don't know thrift store. It was, uh, I was thrifting colleen and I were thrifting and uh, I saw that I'm like, oh, you need to come home with me.
David Wright: 27:49
He's like the cutest.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:50
He's the cutest little bugger ever. Um, and there were two of them, but the other one wasn't as handsome. Are they supposed to be shot glasses? I think they are. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, I can put you know, skewers and what have you in that? Uh, in the studio.
Mrs. Vino : 28:04
So I thought he'd be fun okay, sorry, I could only handle skewering one luxardo it was. Oh, you're good, all right here we go.
August Gitschlag: 28:11
This is the uh aviation all right cheers that's me, that was me I did cheers to the microphone on purpose oh, it's jenny, I thought my headphones hit it it's jenny I like it it's gin and there's like fruit so you got the?
Jamie Flanagan: 28:28
I don't, that's interesting I like it, do you like the like the violet, and the mix isn't perfect.
August Gitschlag: 28:33
It tastes purple, it doesn't. It tastes like purple. The creme de violet is a small. It doesn't have a flavor to a color, but that's besides chartreuse, but that tastes like purple.
Jamie Flanagan: 28:42
The creme de violet in just a single cocktail? It's one and a half a gin, a half ounce of lemon, a three quarter of a mar maraschino and then a quarter ounce of the creme de violet. Is this very potent, uh-huh yeah the. The creme de violet is very potent. Did you try?
August Gitschlag: 28:59
have you ever tried it just straight, no, I can't say that I and if I did, I don't remember. Okay, do we wanna? I mean, I'm getting plenty of it here, I get.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:08
I get the gist of the violetta yeah, that's nice and I figured I'll buy. It was only 22 bucks at keiko's, uh 24 with tax.
August Gitschlag: 29:17
Out the door that's not bad uh, no, and I figured oh yeah, 22 bucks.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:21
I mean I can see using it for other things to do the cocktail next time you're doing a baby shower cocktail we've done so many boy or girl, we've done so many bloody, we're going to make the drink purple, so you don't know what the gender reveal is.
Mrs. Vino : 29:34
It's clever. Look at that. I could make some wine cocktails out of that, some sparkling wine cocktails with that.
August Gitschlag: 29:42
Yes, I could see that working really well, yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:47
And it's purple.
August Gitschlag: 29:49
I don't understand the no ice part of it, like why we would not have ice in this.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:55
I feel like that would make it much more. The coupe glasses don't really lend themselves to ice.
August Gitschlag: 29:59
You would shake them up so much you get those little bits of ice floating in it. That's the kind of look that they want, I'm sure.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:05
No, it says to double strain it. Drink it refreshing as hell. It says to double strain it, and I didn't strain it at all.
August Gitschlag: 30:12
I said earlier, this was a pretentious cocktail. Fuck this cocktail. You're going to be strained twice and you have cream de violette.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:19
Well, the double strain is just that whisk, and then you put the whisk and then you strain it through the strain.
Mrs. Vino : 30:26
I know.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:27
Well, yes, that is pretentious. But man that looks like our cherry is gold, oh man. Oh my God, did you see? I was at Kroger and I always got to check the dented food aisle right. Yep, they had Luxardo's $10 a jar.
Mrs. Vino : 30:40
No way Really.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:41
Yeah, there were four of them. I bought two and I was like, should I buy all four? Yes, and I'm like. I pulled the sale label off of it. It's the best if used. By date, it's 2028. It's not like they're old. They weren't even dented. The lids weren't damaged or nothing. Maybe they got misplaced. Maybe they were overstocked for the holidays.
Mrs. Vino : 31:10
Repackaging.
Jamie Flanagan: 31:11
Maybe they were discontinuing carrying the Lux Argos.
August Gitschlag: 31:16
I'm going to set that one aside.
David Wright: 31:18
I'm with August on that one, I had my fourth sip, and now I'm like usually it's better.
August Gitschlag: 31:22
The fourth sip, I'm like, no, no, it got warmer, more ice in it Maybe if it had ice in it, I think.
Mrs. Vino : 31:27
I'd enjoy it Like a rocks Yep, a big rock.
August Gitschlag: 31:30
I got big rocks. And I cannot lie.
Mrs. Vino : 31:33
I bet you do, jamie, I do.
Jamie Flanagan: 31:34
No, in a little plaid bag over there. No those, colleen has those at home.
August Gitschlag: 31:41
In a Crown Royal bag. In a Crown Royal bag, in a utility drawer. They're on the shelf.
Jamie Flanagan: 31:49
She's showing them off, Kat you said you'd be a barbeque. On the floor there's a little plaid bag. Straight away over there there's large rocks. The next cocktail is the sidecar, the classic sidecar. Have you ever done the sidecar Are?
August Gitschlag: 32:02
these things? Have you ever done? The aviation I get confused. I go to places like kiesling and they have an aviator, they have a paper plane. I kind of get those kind of confused sometimes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had an aviation or I'm thinking of aviation gin, which is I courtesy of spirit airlines it's a cognac. It's a cognac based well that's where you first gave it to me on the plane, and it's my first aviation gin instead of tangerine All right, there's skull shaped ice cubes in here because, I'm
Mrs. Vino : 32:36
an aging punk rocker and I think I'm cool you can drink out of my skull glass.
David Wright: 32:43
I aim 80s.
Jamie Flanagan: 32:44
There's skull shaped ones in there and then just relatively square ones in there, to do so hey ho hey ho, hey, there we go.
August Gitschlag: 32:55
What am I doing with these? Are we doing another cocktail?
Jamie Flanagan: 32:58
Yeah, but I didn't know if you wanted to doctor up your aviation with that. Cool it off a little bit, water it down a little bit. There you go and see what it tasted like. But the sidecar is a cognac-based.
August Gitschlag: 33:10
I'll tell you what I use those Weisers that we got from the WTF Whiskey, Taco Foxtrot, those little silicone Weiser balls.
David Wright: 33:17
I use them all the time.
August Gitschlag: 33:18
That we got from the gift bag.
David Wright: 33:20
I love it.
August Gitschlag: 33:21
Those are great, they're the perfect size, perfect size. And I, finally, I've always hated those whiskey rocks that look like little stones they're garbage but I have big metal ones.
Mrs. Vino : 33:32
I was just going to say those hold cold yeah, whatever material it is, you're right, they suck they lose all their, the energy is gone why am I putting?
August Gitschlag: 33:46
sandstone in my cocktail the minute it hits the water.
David Wright: 33:50
I will say, there's the minerality, and then it hits your teeth.
August Gitschlag: 33:53
Yeah, they're terrible.
David Wright: 33:54
I will say for the amount of work it is we're talking about keeping things cold to make clear ice, because it does last longer, but it's such a pain in the ass.
August Gitschlag: 34:02
Yeah, the clear ice thing.
David Wright: 34:03
I see my counter after I carve up a block that's like this big.
August Gitschlag: 34:06
You do it too Seriously. Oh yeah, you do that. You like boil the water or something isn't there?
David Wright: 34:11
No, you don't have to boil it, it has to go in a cooler. You have to have space for it to freeze down. There'll be water at the bottom, but then, when you flip it over, all impurities are at the top or the bottom, and then we just cut that part off.
Mrs. Vino : 34:26
Oh see, I just only use bottled water for my ice.
David Wright: 34:29
Like straight through.
Jamie Flanagan: 34:30
I only use AbsaPure. The camera's been on me and Dave this whole time.
David Wright: 34:34
Perfect.
Jamie Flanagan: 34:34
We lost the camera, I think. Oh, no I don't know when things went awry. I don't know if I leaned on something.
August Gitschlag: 34:41
Well, hi everyone. I wonder why all my fans?
Jamie Flanagan: 34:45
were texting me where are you? The other one was still running, I think.
August Gitschlag: 34:50
By the way, who was it that said to you you're the guy that does the podcast with August.
Jamie Flanagan: 34:53
It was a bartender at the Roxy.
August Gitschlag: 34:56
That's right. I don't know who it is.
Jamie Flanagan: 34:58
You said he was a bartender at Eastern Palace before and he was the bartender while we were Kevin Weathers. Yes, we did an episode.
August Gitschlag: 35:07
We did an episode with him. That's Kevin. Yes, yeah, that's who it was. Yeah, we've never been to the Roxy Cat. We talked about going over there. It's always like you know the Thunder from Down Under, you know Australian male review or something going on there.
Jamie Flanagan: 35:20
All right, now I'm back to doing math. One and a half ounces of cognac.
August Gitschlag: 35:24
It's so nice to be over here and not being the shaker guy, I'm always the cocktail maker.
Jamie Flanagan: 35:30
I got this week off. I guess you got to be the fill guy I'm usually the fill guy.
August Gitschlag: 35:35
Now I got to start talking while you guys are.
Jamie Flanagan: 35:38
Yeah, because I can't, Apparently I can't talk and pour at the same time.
Mrs. Vino : 35:41
Were you originally a blonde?
Jamie Flanagan: 35:43
Oh, a little toe head.
Mrs. Vino : 35:44
Absolutely. That's why.
Jamie Flanagan: 35:46
Sorry, I can say this because I'm Walk through gum and rub your tummy Completely, completely, all right, do I have a spill somewhere? All right.
August Gitschlag: 35:56
So full disclosure cognac is not on my list of things that I enjoy. Okay, it just isn't Not quite apple cider?
Mrs. Vino : 36:03
Do you know what cognac is? It's a fermented leftover From champagne cognac is it's a fermented leftover, uh, champagne stuff it's you got it? Yeah, that part.
August Gitschlag: 36:11
I get like I'm sure there is a version that I'm really gonna like, but it's not gonna be hennessy no or remy you know it won't.
Mrs. Vino : 36:20
No, I mean, that's the thing with with cognac. It's, uh, the the higher price, the champagne, you know, and the more this is the champagne you know, and the more aged it is.
Jamie Flanagan: 36:28
This is the fine champagne cognac.
Mrs. Vino : 36:31
Yeah, how much did you pay for that?
Jamie Flanagan: 36:33
I don't know, I want it. I want it Sorry.
August Gitschlag: 36:37
I thought we had some security issues. I was like security, security.
Jamie Flanagan: 36:40
Is that your guest? Yeah, my guest is coming in. Yay, well.
August Gitschlag: 36:43
Catherine will entertain.
Jamie Flanagan: 36:45
All right, so one and a half, so I three. Let's just do three. All right, so one, two, yeah, and then all right three, four.
August Gitschlag: 37:03
So why did you pick remy over henny?
Jamie Flanagan: 37:06
it's what was on the shelf. Okay, that's what. That's all I wanted to know.
August Gitschlag: 37:08
And I thought this was more expensive. I was hoping it would be that simple of an answer. I just thought it was.
Jamie Flanagan: 37:13
And this is more expensive. Is it really? It is All right? This bottle is more expensive than the regular.
August Gitschlag: 37:18
Henny.
Jamie Flanagan: 37:23
Is it V-S-S-O-P-P? Yeah S? So this bottle was more expensive than the regular Henny, so I thought it might be better.
August Gitschlag: 37:28
Not always true, but I thought, maybe when it comes to that, yes, because, remember, that's aged champagne. Remy bottles have probably been used in more assault crimes than any other liquor bottle. I'll tell you, this is a true story. I'm sitting at the 2AM, detroit's oldest bar. One day it was daytime we did some dumb theme party. We threw a denim party. We did it in the summer, it was miserable because we were hot as fuck.
August Gitschlag: 37:59
Some of us are outside Dateline NBC is up top. I'm seeing this bottle of Galeano in the bar. I'm like man, someone could really go to town with somebody with a bottle of galliano like that right. And all of a sudden we hear on the tv and then the bottle galliano went missing from the bar. Oh no, found in the park. And they showed the footage of a guy swinging like a bat and killing a dude in the parking lot.
August Gitschlag: 38:20
Oh my, god I just talked about this galliano could be a weapon, and the daylight show goes. We hear, we stop, we go. What, what just happened? We look up, we're like, oh my god, he's killing the galliano bottle right there on tv. Oh my gosh.
Mrs. Vino : 38:32
Well, yeah, those things are huge. Yes, they are weapons it's, my it's.
August Gitschlag: 38:37
I love the story of galliano. The only reason everyone's grandparents had it was because I make the joke all the time. Twa first class menu when people started flying in the 60s and 70s, they put a Harvey Wallbanger on the menu and it was a custom cocktail for first class passengers on TWA in the golden era of flight of air travel.
August Gitschlag: 38:58
And our grandparents would all have that one trip to Arizona every three years or something like that, and they had to have that Galeano on the basement bar because it was what they had in the TWA and they passed it around at New Year's parties. Here's your Galeano, james, you know and they probably all wore suits and ties they did little hats yeah yeah, it was all madmen, all the madmen dressed up to fly, yeah, but now everyone wears slippers.
Mrs. Vino : 39:20
Oh, don't even get me started.
August Gitschlag: 39:22
Don't get her started.
Mrs. Vino : 39:23
She's a flight attendant no, oh yeah yeah, she's yeah don't get her started at all for spirit oh no, oh yeah, don't get her started.
August Gitschlag: 39:29
For Spirit, oh no, that one For.
David Wright: 39:32
Spirit, my last Delta flight. Some dude sitting right across the aisle, shoes and socks all bare feet in the aisle.
Mrs. Vino : 39:41
I know, are you sure it wasn't John Candy?
August Gitschlag: 39:43
No, Spirit's out of the first class.
David Wright: 39:46
now, though, do you have to fight for it. Though they have big seats up front, do you have to fight for it?
August Gitschlag: 39:50
No, they have big seats up front with unlimited booze, when they did not get their merger Yep, they did not get their merger that?
David Wright: 39:56
doesn't sound very smart.
August Gitschlag: 39:58
With JetBlue. They said, look, you're going to not let us merge because we want to be one big low-cost airline. We're not going to be a low-cost airline anymore. We're just going to become Southwest and we're going to up our game and make a better experience instead of being a budget carrier. So they added that first. She'll tell you all about it if we want to. She doesn't want to be on camera today.
Jamie Flanagan: 40:15
All right. So the sidecar One and a half ounces of cognac, three quarter ounce of orange liqueur Contra Three quarter ounce of lemon juice freshly squeezed by August, and then an orange twist for the garnish and an optional sugar rim for the garnish. Do we want to do the sugar rim? Because I got the sugar, I got the sugar sugar. Oh, you, take care of that. Sugar, sugar, sugar sugar.
Mrs. Vino : 40:38
Am I supposed to lick the glasses?
August Gitschlag: 40:40
Well, that's one way to go. Do we have a lemon? We can get a lemon rind. I got all kinds of garbage.
Jamie Flanagan: 40:45
We got a lemon rind in there that we could kind of swirl around the edge. I was going to buy a sponge.
Mrs. Vino : 40:52
No, you don't.
August Gitschlag: 40:54
And then I'm like, well, yeah but then it would be like a funky monkey next time. I have enough juice left in these suckers. Nice, we did these up pretty good. I mean I squeezed the shit out of these fuckers.
Mrs. Vino : 41:08
My gosh.
August Gitschlag: 41:10
I couldn't have done it left-handed or right-handed.
Mrs. Vino : 41:11
Oh yeah, my right hand was squeezing the shit out of that thing.
August Gitschlag: 41:18
We got the black sugar here. It's a fancy-looking sugar, this one I got.
Jamie Flanagan: 41:25
We got that blue. It's bluish for when we did the lions.
August Gitschlag: 41:29
Oh, we did the lions, duke and Dame.
Jamie Flanagan: 41:31
Dame and Duke, duke and Dame, we did some lions cocktails. Yeah, that's right.
August Gitschlag: 41:37

David Wright: 41:42
Are these straight up or ice?
August Gitschlag: 41:44

Mrs. Vino : 41:48
Did you have to double, triple or?
Jamie Flanagan: 41:51
quadruple strain.
Mrs. Vino : 41:52
This Through your underwear.
Jamie Flanagan: 41:54
Through your socks, there you go. Are you pouring, are you trying this one?
Mrs. Vino : 41:59
I'll try a little bit. I've got my skull glass right here with my skull ice, or am I supposed to have it without any?
August Gitschlag: 42:03
ice, you don't get your sugar. Yeah, you gotta get your sugar sugar.
David Wright: 42:10

August Gitschlag: 42:14
Mercy says had his ribs removed so he could lick his own rim.
Jamie Flanagan: 42:18
And then it's supposed to be garnished with an orange. We did bring an orange out to sacrifice for this.

Jamie Flanagan: 42:25
more fruit. I'll do it we don't Just a shaving for each?
August Gitschlag: 42:32

Jamie Flanagan: 42:34
shaver? No, but we can just peel it with the knife. Wow, I'll go get the shaver.
August Gitschlag: 42:41
We don't need a shaven. Peel of orange juice.
Jamie Flanagan: 42:44
It's not going to be the game changer With all this sugar on here.
David Wright: 42:47
the orange is going to be lost.
August Gitschlag: 42:48
All right juice, it's not going to be the game changer. With all this sugar on here, the orange is going to be lost.
Jamie Flanagan: 42:53

Jamie Flanagan: 42:55
Look at that. She's going to have her professional cocktail Carving up the orange. She brought her own knife.
August Gitschlag: 43:00

Jamie Flanagan: 43:04
I know I want something different. The whole thing's different. Cheers again. This is a traditional sidecar.
August Gitschlag: 43:18
All I taste is sugar. I know All I taste is that sugar.
Mrs. Vino : 43:23
You would like it with some orange here I'll slice it.
August Gitschlag: 43:25
I'm going to make a hole in the sugar and try it without it.
Mrs. Vino : 43:28

Jamie Flanagan: 43:32
It is like crunchy sugar too.
August Gitschlag: 43:33

Nora glass. Yeah, all right, who's Nora? Is that like a Nora virus? Thank you.
Mrs. Vino : 43:59
I don't know. We'd have to look at the history of that type of glassware, the Nora, but it's like it's a whole different experience.
August Gitschlag: 44:06
without all that sugar guys, it's better.
Jamie Flanagan: 44:08
Yeah, it's better. Yeah, we got to wipe off the sugar, it's better.
August Gitschlag: 44:12

August Gitschlag: 44:46
Well, yeah, all right but I love the orange liqueur. Though orange liqueur uh contro, uh. Even grand marnier. I love grand marnier. Yeah, yeah, yeah me too. You ever go to a bar where they heat it up in a hot glass the grand marnier yeah yeah, we would do that even at whiskey in the jar. I wouldn't let anybody order it without me heating up the glass first with hot water, like what I go. I know we're a dive bar, but come on, heat it up, get the glass nice and hot under the hot water, then pour it in there.
Jamie Flanagan: 45:10
