What Your Summer Drink Says About You

Summer drinking has two rules: keep it cold, keep it simple, and don’t ruin a good buzz with a complicated recipe. We’re in full Man Cave Happy Hour mode with a Canada Day salute, pouring Canadian Club and building a whiskey sour that actually works when you’re short on time, low on ice, and staring down a heat wave. We talk what makes Canadian whisky taste different from bourbon, why lemon juice and the right sweetener matter, and the small tweaks that turn a basic sour into a drink you’d proudly serve at a backyard party.

Then Spencer and Jennifer bring a curveball that instantly earns a spot on our summer cocktail list: a PAMA pomegranate old fashioned. We get into the exact balance of bourbon, pomegranate liqueur, demerara syrup, and bitters, plus why citrus oils from an expressed peel can make a home cocktail taste like a real bar pour. From there we bounce through easy refreshers like vodka raspberry lemonade, bourbon and lemonade, and a few “are we really doing this?” beer combos including michelada talk, Aperol in beer, and even pickle beer curiosity.

And yes, we also tackle a painfully real “hypothetical” about a sealed bourbon bottle popping in a hot car and soaking a leather seat, because summer mistakes are still mistakes. We wrap with a scotch-and-Drambuie Rusty Nail, Fourth of July plans, golf bragging rights, and fireworks stories that prove chaos is part of the tradition.

So it's but uh people listen whenever, wherever, however, and we're in the midst of some American celebrations, and so let's get Canadian because no, because it's June 29th and it's Canada Day. It is Canada more than a gallon of uh Canadian club, Canadian club. August, do you remember this from the bars, all the bars in the basements in the 80s and 90s?

SPEAKER_05 2:02

Every that it might be my first ever exposure to whiskey, which it was for most of us.

Jamie Flanagan 2:06

Every every Paris bar had the Canadian club, Canadian Club,

Canada Day Pour With Canadian Club

Jamie Flanagan 2:10

the JB Scotch, McCartney Rum. Yeah, there was always a purple bag of uh crown oil, though.

SPEAKER_05 2:17

Some maybe Jack Daniels, if we're getting fancy, yeah, because that was the fancy stuff in 1980.

Jamie Flanagan 2:22

It was that was so I I uh I'm pouring here just in honor of Canada Day, the welcome cocktail. And I was gonna pour a welcome cocktail for everybody, but I I was doing Irish stuff and I got pizza.

SPEAKER_05 2:34

I brought pizza goddamn Irish bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jamie Flanagan 2:40

So I was off doing my Irish bullshit, and so I didn't make a but if anybody would like blame Canada. Blame Canada So I was looking for today. We're talking about uh summer cocktails. Spencer, you guys brought some fun stuff for some summer cocktails there, right? Yes, oh you got some good bitters. I think because I was like grabbing my Angus store here, and I was like, uh-oh, this feels empty. So you got some, yeah. All right, so I because I got a I got orange ones in there, but I think this cocktail calls for regular ones, yeah. So so yeah, but so Canadian whiskey, right? It's a different taste, right? There's Irish whiskey, you know, Tennessee, Kentucky, American bourbons and whiskeys, uh, the Japanese, the Japanese from you know, I was like doing some research. I the Japanese have won more honors than the other bourbons and with the whisk, not bourbon, whiskies combined. The Japanese whiskeys have to be.

SPEAKER_05 3:37

They engineer everything differently.

SPEAKER_04 3:40

Well, that's because they have the good whiskey to drink.

SPEAKER_05 3:41

Just wait till it's German whiskey, then you're gonna be fought.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

Yeah, yeah.

Jamie Flanagan 3:49

We had that Pabst whiskey, so we kind of know.

Matt Fox 3:52

Yeah, that white dog, that white dog was so great. It was it was great, it was really great.

Jamie Flanagan 3:59

But I was throwing out there, it's like what to do, because it's like we're heading into a heat wave here. Um, and and and and so I was like, well, let's do a summer cocktail, right? So we've we've we've done old fashions again and again, and I want to get on a Manhattan kick. We're gonna get on a Manhattan kick now. I'm okay, but today we're doing summer cocktails, and whatever your cocktail is, it can doesn't have to be whiskey, but uh, it looks like we're whiskey based here so far. But the two Canadians, because I was like, Oh crap, it's Canada Day. I better do the welcome cocktails of Canadian whiskey. Can I get a can you spear me a can you spear me a cherry

Whiskey Sour Basics And Variations

Jamie Flanagan 4:35

and throw it in there? Here, there's a tooth of picas. So a whiskey sour, right? So a whiskey sour. Oh, I didn't shake it. Son of a gun. An ounce and a half of Canadian club, three quarters of an ounce of uh fresh lemon juice, and I got the the fresh lemons here, nonetheless.

SPEAKER_04 4:54

I think you squeeze yourself.

Jamie Flanagan 4:56

I just it we're on a time crunch, but the fresh lemon juice. I I fully intended to be fresh, but uh what are you gonna do? And then you need some uh simple syrup, just a splash of the uh simple syrup. So we got all that, and that's a whiskey sour. I do the whiskey sours, my whiskey sours at home I do with a red wine float. Oh, New York's amazing.

SPEAKER_05 5:16

Yeah, I haven't done a whiskey sour at home since I decided I'm not gay.

Jamie Flanagan 5:20

Ah but uh did you throw a cherry in there? Buried in the bottom? All right, cherry floated in float. So yeah, so I was gonna stop. I forgot to grab like the crappy red, red, red maraschino because that's what you need with the Canadian club. You need those red, red, red, every typical piece of crap, you know, marashino, red. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Red dye that's gonna be not allowed anymore soon. Red dye number five, cherries, yeah. So there you go. That's that's the other one. The other one is uh they call it the Al Capone, which is slightly different. Canadian Club, an ounce and a half, and then armoretto, which I didn't have I was gonna grab armor, but I'm like, ah well, I'm doing a sour anyway, so what the hell? Armoretto and fresh lemon juice. So it's it's whiskey, the armoretto, and that they call that one the Al Capone. But again, those so if you're trying to celebrate Canada and Canada Day, I would go with one of these. All the other ones I saw were like they turned them into like it was all strawberry, strawberry, strawberry, and it's like red and white and different. They were all like serious baby shower drinks. They were all you know, because it was like it was it was all like she got the Canadian flag is red and white. So they were trying to go, oh, red and white with oh Canada, and it's like it's so it's like nah. How about let's just get a nice Canadian club with a whiskey sour. So hey, welcome, you guys. Jennifer's ice is melting. All she's got to cheers with is melted.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

Yeah, a real drink. Okay, let me try my watery ice.

Jamie Flanagan 6:51

But uh, so there you go. So welcome, welcome, welcome. Summer cocktails, right? So I everybody tasked everybody with like what what would you do for a summer summer cocktail? I got one picked, and I was doing something that was scotch-based because August is scotch and he's not here, so he doesn't have to be subjected to it. You don't like the scotch. So I was going with the uh, and we've done it before. We did it with JB scotch. We back, we did a rusty nail. So coming up, we're gonna do a rusty nail. But Dave, do you have something? It doesn't have to be a cocktail, but do you have a something for the golf course or something summertime that you do?

SPEAKER_07 7:28

I mean, honestly, typically I'll just I I it doesn't make a difference if it's summer or winter. I just do uh do a three fingers of whatever bourbon I'm enjoying.

Jamie Flanagan 7:37

Okay, do you ice it in the summer? Do you throw just keep it? Nope, I just keep it. Three fingers, uh three fingers there and a and a pinky.

Matt Fox 7:48

PAMA Pomegranate Old Fashioned Build

Jamie Flanagan 8:40

here, so we want to get her booked up, Spencer. What did you and Jennifer want to do for your summer cocktail? You brought a couple cool things in. What were you thinking about?

SPEAKER_04 8:48

Well, we were gonna make a Jalisco uh sunset, but we ended up deciding it on the Pama Old Fashion. Pama Old Fashion?

Jamie Flanagan 8:55

Yes, all right. So you got that uh Kirkland whiskey bourbon, bourbon whiskey. Is there so there's like the Kirkland brand? Yes, so it's the Kirkland from 1792.

SPEAKER_04 9:07

So that's a it's the old Barton of 1792.

Jamie Flanagan 9:09

Bart Old Barton 1792, basically. Okay, but in a VAT size.

SPEAKER_04 9:14

Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's the personal, it's the personal travel side.

Jamie Flanagan 9:18

It's the travel size travel size.

SPEAKER_04 9:20

Well, hopefully they're gonna allow us on the plane with this season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. It's as big as you.

Jamie Flanagan 9:29

All right, so all right, so we're gonna do the pomegranate old fashioned. Pama old fashioned. And then so what's the pom uh, what's that? Pama what? It's uh pomegranate liqueur. Pomegranate liqueur. All right. So I use it, they got that that juice, that pom mighty or whatever. I've used that for cocktails before too, but this is actually leaded. So what are you gonna make? You're gonna double this up and we'll split it around? Yeah, I'm gonna make a double right now, and then uh we'll see if there's enough. We'll uh just it call for it calls for an half ounce of poma?

SPEAKER_04 9:59

Yeah, actually it does. A half ounce of poma, double up to one ounce. All right. So one and a half one and a half ounce of the bourbon, but normally a lot of the old-fashions I make about two ounces. But so I'm gonna do three ounces of this or so, and then we're gonna do the Demora uh sugar instead of simple syrup. Yeah. You have a little more richer flavor. Yeah. And then uh the bitters.

Matt Fox 10:16

Yeah, the Demiro syrup, I actually picked that up at the did you bring that? The Damira? Yeah, it was out of our fridge. Yeah, I picked that up at the uh total wine.

Jamie Flanagan 10:25

Look at us, we're like we're like almost prepared with stuff. Yeah, almost. Almost almost.

Matt Fox 10:33

That sounds uh interesting, Spencer. Jen? Hopefully you like it. That sounds interesting. So I was introduced to something over this past weekend, and it's kind of like my one of my new summer favorites, so actually I'm gonna be taking advantage of. And it's it's a vodka raspberry lemonade. Oh, yeah, it's refreshing. It's surfside is the name of the brand called Surfside.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Yes, I had I had those Thursday and Saturday.

Matt Fox 11:02

Yeah, yeah, they're they're easy drinkers, they're refreshing, if you will. They it worked out well for me.

SPEAKER_07 11:08

So I'm gonna go back because Jamie's a big fan of this. Yeah, I just thought, yeah, I do love my bourbon, but every once in a while, if it's summer, I'll do a cosmo. Nope. Just refresh. Yeah, yeah. I know Jamie.

Jamie Flanagan 11:18

I love the vodka drinks. I love the I love the vodka drinks and throw a little juice in that and call it a cosmo. Maybe we're there.

SPEAKER_09 11:25

Yep.

Jamie Flanagan 11:27

And so this calls for the two different bitters. I like that's interesting. A lot of times when I'm making a cocktail, it calls for two different bitters. I either go with the one or the other.

SPEAKER_09 11:36

You know, it's a little more complex.

Jamie Flanagan 11:38

Yeah, you know, but it is, it's it does get more complex. And you know, when I'm rocking it solo, it's like, ah, what the hell just extra shake for you off.

Matt Fox 11:48

That is oh, what happened to August? Uh his uh he he's uh he he's taking care of something, he'll be right back. Oh, okay, okay. No worries. I don't know if his wifi crapped out or whatever. Nah, he's taking care of business. He's gotta he's watching the soccer game. He's taking care of business.

Jamie Flanagan 12:06

I just I it's a reflex. I say that every time.

SPEAKER_07 12:09

Like uh somebody says soccer, I'm like, you know, the problem with these matches is there, they're like just in times I can't watch. Like during the day when I'm at work or in the evening when I'm here, or yeah, when you're out golfing, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

When I'm out golfing, right? Wednesday's USA. As far as France and Sweden.

Matt Fox 12:31

It's been uh it's been an interesting. I like seeing you know play all of them playing the games around the United States and so in South America.

Jamie Flanagan 12:39

Yeah, whiskey sour. Have you tried the whiskey sour? Try the whiskey sour.

SPEAKER_07 12:44

You know, and the other the other thing is is that the uh throw a red wine float on top of it? Yeah, the PGA over the weekend went to Monday for a playoff, so I didn't get to watch that. Yeah, and it ended with them missing a PC.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Maybe you should just take off work. I know.

SPEAKER_07 12:57

That's I should just take off work totally.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

I think that would be the best.

Jamie Flanagan 13:00

I mean, I'm almost getting uh Luxardos on each of these as well. Yes, yes, he is. Heck yeah, man. He's going all out, he's doing it up.

Matt Fox 13:08

So I actually I have a hypothetical question for everyone at the table in August when he gets back, but I do have a hypothetical question as to what would you do or how would you do this? So we're gonna try this drink and then we're gonna start talking hypothetically. Thank you.

Jamie Flanagan 13:25

What are we doing?

Matt Fox 13:26

We're gonna start, we're gonna we're gonna drink these, these are amazing drinks.

Jamie Flanagan 13:30

All right, Jennifer Spencer, thanks for coming in with these. I like the color on this guy. I keep trying to like go to the I keep trying to go to this camera. Uh there's that camera over there. I know you don't have to move that.

SPEAKER_06 13:40

I got it, but uh, I moved it.

Jamie Flanagan 13:41

But I I I'd like this, I like this color on it.

SPEAKER_04 13:44

It's it's got uh sunset. It's a deeper rich color than the normal old fashioned not as sweet. You get that toastiness from the demoral sugar, but then like the pomite that's a little citrusy uh fruity flavor.

SPEAKER_07 13:54

Oh wow, that's good. That is good, that's refreshing.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

Little, you know, changing it's like it's I'm gonna take credit for it. I'm the one who came up with oh you made it up kind of, yeah. Nice. You're looking at home on our bar, and I that's what I decided.

SPEAKER_04 14:10

I didn't know that's the best thing. We we opened up the bar and said, Okay, what do we make for the summer? Pulled out all the liquor, said, Okay, how about this? This we tried a couple. Jen goes, no, let's try this. I said, Okay, let's make that. So this is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

You're double fisting over there. How's that going?

Jamie Flanagan 14:30

And I got my I got my so Jamie, give me a review. No, I I like it. There's uh I'm trying to figure out it. There's a there's a uh almost a bite in it. I don't know if it's the cherry or the timer or sugar.

Matt Fox 14:42

I think it's the um or the palm? It's the palm, yes. It's the pom that's doing it. It's the look that's the pomegranate pomegranate liqueur, the tartan.

Jamie Flanagan 14:48

So you guys had the pomma on tab on uh at the house already? What were you doing with what were you doing?

SPEAKER_01 14:53

You know what it was from? It was from our son's bar mitzvah because we had a summer cotton. Uh Jamie, you were there. I'm not quite sure if you tried that one.

SPEAKER_04 15:01

Or do you remember it?

SPEAKER_01 15:02

Probably not. Probably tried all of them.

SPEAKER_04 15:04

What I I I stuck was it a poma old fashioned? It was no regular old fashioned, but there was a it was another pom like drink we had there.

Jamie Flanagan 15:11

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

I had too many of them, so I can't remember.

Jamie Flanagan 15:13

Yeah, Colleen and I were jumping around. It's been a it's been a little while.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

It's been a year.

Jamie Flanagan 15:17

Uh yeah. You know what's interesting?

SPEAKER_07 15:18

When when we go out, my wife is a fan of pomegranate martinis. Oh, yes. And nine out of ten places we go, they just say, We can't make that. Really? Really?

Jamie Flanagan 15:29

Yeah, that's crazy. No, it's it's that poma, that pomap pure stuff or whatever.

Easy Summer Sippers And Soccer Side Talk

SPEAKER_07 15:35

That's actual pomegranate juice. Right. Pomegranate seeds.

SPEAKER_04 15:38

Pegranate juice itself, but if you actually buy this at home, this is better than the regular juice, and you can keep it around longer. But this one actually has uh premium vodka and a touch of tequila in there with the pomegranate juice.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

I may buy the pomegranate seeds from Trader Joe's because it has juice in it. Or the seeds in it with the juice. I may do that.

Matt Fox 15:54

August and company are back.

SPEAKER_05 15:56

We are back. My laptop decided they wanted to update and restart in the middle of the podcast.

SPEAKER_07 16:01

Oh, I thought you were just about to watch a game, August.

SPEAKER_05 16:05

Paraguay just knocked out Germany. Oh penalty kicks. Oh, you're missing out on good drinks. That's uh have you ever had the Palma pomegranate? As a bartender, we went through a phase of that stuff probably 15-20 years ago where we're going through it like crazy, and then it died out. That's nice. That's but that's Kai Kai is here. It adds a little hey, it's a little man, but I think this also this is Kai.

SPEAKER_07 16:33

Hey little guy, hey Kai. What's up, Kai? Hello, Kai. Hi Kai, welcome to the world of podcasting and alcohol. About August! There we are.

SPEAKER_04 16:44

August, I think this also adds a flavor to his old fashioned.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

I think my our son is watching.

SPEAKER_04 16:48

Oh, we got a nice syrup, this the Demora syrup. Yeah, that is a real game changer.

SPEAKER_03 16:54

We were teaching him how to play a version of beer pong today, though. So he's in training.

SPEAKER_05 17:00

We played it with water balloons and buckets of uh buckets of water and water balloons. So if you got it in the bucket, you had to dump the bucket over your head instead of drinking it.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

Actually, my favorite drink all year round is an espresso old fashion. There are a couple places that make it really good every time I go in.

SPEAKER_07 17:14

I would love that because I get espresso martinis all the time. I've never done it old fashioned.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Yep. And ask Kieran. Do you go to the Beverly and ask Kieran if she's there, the bartender, to make it for you?

SPEAKER_04 17:26

Actually, they they all do. They know it's basically the Jen. They know they said the gen. They go in, they go, Oh, can I get what Jen drinks? They know what you drinks.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Wow.

Jamie Flanagan 17:36

So have you met Kat Jen?

SPEAKER_01 17:38

Yeah, oh yeah.

Jamie Flanagan 17:38

All right, fair play.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

So now you can hear me. I was trying to say hi the whole time, but it wasn't. So you guys talk a special old fashioned for a second. Special old fashioned, it's amazing.

SPEAKER_05 17:47

This old fashioned was made with 1792 small batch, and because I don't have any oranges, my summer cocktail twist, I put grapefruit in it.

SPEAKER_01 17:56

Oh, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_05 17:57

It was a grapefruit peanut that we shaved off, and it's just a different kind of sweetness. I wish I had the demarera syrup.

SPEAKER_04 18:08

Can you say that again a couple more times?

SPEAKER_05 18:12

The other cocktail that I've been enjoying this whole trip has been Cohen, sorry. That's my other nephew, Cohen. So all the all the boys are here.

SPEAKER_06 18:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 18:21

Hello, Brendan.

SPEAKER_06 18:22

Hi, Brendan.

SPEAKER_03 18:27

Cohen and Kai.

SPEAKER_07 18:29

It's a rate, it's a rated E.

SPEAKER_05 18:37

SPEAKER_07 18:40

Well, they're from Chicago, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

Well, we'll have to do some Espresso Fashions when you guys are back.

SPEAKER_05 18:48

I've been doing bourbon and lemonade since I got here.

SPEAKER_04 18:51

Oh, yes, bourbon and lemonade is really good, especially for the summer.

SPEAKER_05 18:53

Yeah, with a big rock and a nice organic lemonade. I was doing Evan Williams Hunter Proof. That's the bottom pie.

SPEAKER_04 19:00

I I agree. I think that's the thing. Even though we're doing the curriculum one, I like either the rye or a spicier, like more full of bourbon, because otherwise you get it's too sweet. You need to curk it. I agree.

SPEAKER_05 19:10

The hotter, the yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:12

We actually went to a place today for lunch, and they had on the menu you could add two dollars and get a large cube added to your drink.

SPEAKER_05 19:21

They wanted two dollars for a freaking ice cube.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

For an ice cube, yeah. Well, it says prepping prepping the whiskey.

SPEAKER_07 19:28

Was it at least clear ice? We didn't. We didn't buy it.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

No, it's it said it was clean, it said it was clear ice. It was clear, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:36

Okay, okay. But something.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

I mean, at least never seen it on a menu before.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

I thought that was well, it better be a good ice cream, get more than one drink out of it.

SPEAKER_05 19:48

It's beer o'clock shirt on that he's gonna grow into soon enough. Oh mercy's sakes. There are 12 of us in this house here in Stockton Soccer, or actually in Douglas. There's 12 of us here from us.

Jamie Flanagan 20:03

For the summer, pour pour something into your beer, like Aperol or whatever, into your beer. And I I think that always I for that doesn't do it for me. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe a little in a Mexican beer, right? A corona or a meeting. You can make a shandy.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

Matt Van, the the the bass player for the Electric Six, went on tour with Uncle Cracker and he came back and he was drinking like High Life with Sprite, half and half. That he had picked up in Europe while touring with Uncle Cracker. Sprite and Miller Highlights. High Life and Sprite. You go five Europe basically. That one in Europe is gross.

SPEAKER_05 23:55

So I sent my nephew upstairs to go to my brother to make me a drink. All right, there you go.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

I remember having to make my dad CC and ginger, and I knew like this much. When he got home, my mom would be like, Go make your dad a drink. And I knew I was like eight years old.

SPEAKER_05 24:12

Yeah, we remember it was for us, it was for me and my brother, it was go get him a beer and two fingers of apple schnapps.

SPEAKER_05 24:56

I mean, Jimmy took the headphones off. He was so offended.

SPEAKER_07 24:59

So my my grandfather used to have to go behind his bar and pour him shots of Kesslers all day long. That that was his thing. And every Christmas, what we would get, we get one of these big jugs filled with change. All of his empty Kesslers gallons.

SPEAKER_09 25:17

Nice.

SPEAKER_07 25:18

I'm like, dude, I don't know.

The Hypothetical Bourbon Car Spill

SPEAKER_07 25:20

I've never tasted that. I never want to taste it.

Matt Fox 25:23

I have a hypothetical situation I'd like to discuss around the table. It's okay, it's okay, Matt. Yeah, we know. I it's okay, yes.

SPEAKER_05 25:31

It is we have a therapist in the room, buddy. We do, that's why I'm bringing this up.

Matt Fox 25:35

So this is a this is a totally hypothetical situation. Yeah. So hypothetically, let's say that you received a bottle of bourbon from a from somebody. Okay, hypothetically, let's just say that you didn't. Is it a good bottle of bourbon? Somebody matter who it came from. Yes, it does. Okay, get to the case. So and let's say hypothetically that's you put the the bottle on the back of the seat in your car. Hypothetically, and you didn't strap it in. No, right? Okay, then let's say hypothetically that when you drive home, the bottle falls over and spills all over your leather. Hypothetically horrible. Was the bottle open to begin with, or was it sealed? It was sealed, but it must have popped off in some way, shape, or form. Hypothetically, hypothetically what this first does.

SPEAKER_06 26:27

Hypothetically, was it very warm out?

SPEAKER_07 26:29

Yes. Hypothetical, what was what was the person's name? Hypothetically. Does it start with an M.

SPEAKER_04 26:38

It may prove a point for me that if the heat starts with Should you pop the cork open of the bottles? Okay.

Matt Fox 26:44

So hypothetically, hypothetically, how do you clean a leather seat? You lick it up. Just just go buy a new seat.

SPEAKER_04 26:57

Or burn the car down. It depends on the proof of the liquor. It's probably gonna burn the leather off. It was 111 proof, all right?

SPEAKER_05 27:04

Just set fire to the car on the side of the 994. All right. Can you squeeze it?

Matt Fox 27:09

Because it actually would go up pretty quickly out the amount of liquor that hypothetically spilled on the back seat.

SPEAKER_05 27:14

My nephew successfully brought me a bourbon and lemonade with uh another piece of uh grapefruit peel in there.

SPEAKER_07 27:21

Yeah, what's it? Good mix.

SPEAKER_05 27:25

Don't have kids of your own, have nephews.

SPEAKER_07 27:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:28

And nieces.

Matt Fox 27:31

Well, thanks for letting me share my hypothetical situation.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Hypothetically, it sounds horrible. I have a feeling it's a real situation.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

So we uh went to bourbon tasting a couple weeks ago and it was kind of warm out. And I told everyone, okay, let's not leave the bottles in the car. Why? Well, it could pop the cork. There's a guy's trip, I was not. And they go, No, it can't, no, it can't. As soon as I as soon as I said it turned around and jinxed it, there's a sign going, don't leave the bottles in the car. Really?

Jamie Flanagan 27:56

I know you're puppying your dog in your booze, don't leave them in the car. Yeah. So yeah, that happened.

SPEAKER_03 28:01

I love when things happen like that. When you like tell people things and they don't listen, and you just and then there's like a giant sign. That's love that.

Matt Fox 28:10

Love that for you. I just it's there's nothing wrong with driving a distillery around.

SPEAKER_04 28:15

There you go. I love that for you. Hypothetically, that just said I love that for you.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

Let's discuss that later. Yeah, I love that for you.

SPEAKER_05 28:23

So uh we did a little bit of a tasting.

Tasting Room Finds And Vacation Drinking

SPEAKER_05 28:25

So today we were in downtown Sagatuck and I went to the New Holland tasting room. Okay, and we all know how much we've already panned New Holland beer barrel bourbon. Yes, like it's it's straight jump, right? And so I walk in thinking I'm gonna get a beer or something, and it's like, no, this is only a booze tasting room. I'm like, all right, everyone else is shopping. I'm just a boy, I'm just want to be in air conditioning because it's hot as balls. So I tuck in here and they go, they have this whole line now they call walleye, isn't the fish walleye rye. Okay, it does not suck generally.

Matt Fox 29:01

I think I've had that to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_05 29:03

It's all seven years, five to five to nine years aged. And the one I had was also sherry cast, which is always a cheat code, right? But it was very good. And I think I'm gonna have to bring a bottle back for us to uh talk non shit about.

SPEAKER_03 29:21

What was the drink?

SPEAKER_05 29:21

I had the uh oh, and we had their Knickerbocker gin, and everyone makes good gin, right? All the local gins were fine. Uh we had an old Fitzgerald, which is not to be confused with the bourbon. Okay, it's just basically uh lemon, bitters, and soda and soda something, if you can, and it was a delightful summer cocktail. Talk about like refreshing and this whole and the whole city's a goddamn social district, so you just walk around with a clock so yeah and that's like what Jim wanted to try to make today was to bring bring gin.

SPEAKER_03 29:55

Oh and we found the only cash-only dive bar in town already.

SPEAKER_05 29:59

We found a stinky still smelled like cigarettes. Perfect. Jim lends themselves to someone's dive. They were fixing the smoke eater when we came in. I'm not kidding. Still fixing the smoke eater. Still, yeah, the owner is this biker dude. He's like, I grew up over here, you know, was making all these racist Jewish jokes about horse skin and eyelids. It was crazy.

Matt Fox 31:59

Christian Bale. Absolutely. Excellent. Jamie, you're uh you're over here being a mad scientist. Yeah, uh well, the next summer cocktail, the one that I missed.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

Can I have one of those cocktails?

Jamie Flanagan 32:10

Uh did I pour? I poured the doers in that, right? I didn't do that. You did.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

I saw you pour it.

Jamie Flanagan 32:14

So, Matt, we did uh a rusty nail back in the day. Rusty nail is one of the cocktails that gross Martin would really enjoy. The rat pack. So here's a thing about the rat pack. Frank Sinatra's a hat. Yeah, he's he is. He's like, he's like out of the rat, out of like he's the weakest link. You all the weakest link. He uh he really was. I mean, he was like he had the mu probably the most uh celebrity, the most of the the the the the front page uh celebrity. But I counter with Dean Martin was really a bigger celebrity and a bigger star than than Frank Sinatra. I would I would wager Dean Martin was a bigger star and a bigger celebrity than Frank Sinatra.

SPEAKER_05 33:02

If you would wager that you're a fucking moron, and I'll

Rusty Nail And Orange Peel Technique

SPEAKER_05 33:05

take all your money.

SPEAKER_07 33:06

Well, I agree with all your money. I think Frank Sinatra he's become bigger with time. Yeah, he's out like no, he was bigger than has become bigger than bigger.

SPEAKER_06 33:19

They said no.

Jamie Flanagan 33:20

No, Dean has always been a side attribute uh like a lot of a lot of quotes that you know Dean Martin, because it was Dean Martin that said, Well, I I pity people who don't drink because when they get up in the morning, that's as good as they're gonna feel all day. Yeah, there's one that to Frank Sinatra all the time, yeah. And it's like a lot of things that are like Dean that they like attribute to Dean Martin didn't drink, yeah. Whatever, let him have it.

SPEAKER_05 33:45

Dean Martin didn't drink drink, it was all a charade. He would throw parties and go to bed. Google this shit. I mean, Dean Martin is not a drink break, it was all part of the charade. Apple juice, apple juice.

Jamie Flanagan 34:00

A lot of times it was apple juice, a lot of times it was apple juice, not always, not always, there was a but a lot of times amount of culture than like every like a lot of the men in that but yeah, so but one of the drinks that that Dean Martin really liked was the Rusty Nail. Um we had done this before. We had did this before with the J and B scotch, right? It was like a that was a bottle that I had had on my bar. Matt, you and I had shared it.

Matt Fox 34:26

It was like, I don't know, it was a while, it was a while ago.

Jamie Flanagan 34:29

Yeah, there was a reason we did it though. I don't know, it was it was a hundredth episode or an anniversary of something, but we did uh we did the J and B scotch because it was my dad's scotch. My dad's been gone for he's been gone for a long time, but so it was a bottle that he had left behind, and I wagered that. Well, if it was a bottle that was on my dad's bar, it's probably three-quarters water anyway. Probably drinking it and filling it with water, but so we did the the rusty nail with the J and B scotch, but that's kind of a summer cocktail for me, is the rusty nail, and and we don't do a lot of scotches because August is like you know, snob and then like it's the same reason you don't do cigars anymore because of my health.

SPEAKER_05 35:10

Scotch gold mic. I don't put anything in this temple.

SPEAKER_07 35:15

Wow, but the rusty nail is uh I'm I'm gonna never mind, I'm gonna leave it alone. Who's allowed in the temple, August? I think you're I think you're you're the only one in the temple.

Jamie Flanagan 35:26

Temple of Doom there.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

Yeah, temple of doom is more like all right.

Jamie Flanagan 35:31

So it's one and a half ounce of scotch, a half ounce of drambue, and two dashes of bitters, and then an orange, orange peel strip as a garnish, right? And I actually I did, I probably brought the peel out, I peeled the orange. I was being a good box.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

Two of them here, and then we can share it if anybody wants a little Irish radio hammer to let you out and strap projects, and then why maybe I have to pour another one if everybody's rolling their glass up.

Jamie Flanagan 35:59

I didn't think people would want it. Oh my god, I don't think I've had it. And then we learned this. What was that place that brought us the downriver? Was that your connection? The vault, the lion dolls, and they taught us to express to express the orange peel.

SPEAKER_07 36:12

Yeah, smacking it around.

SPEAKER_05 36:14

Slap your peel, gentlemen. Slap your peel. So I got I got some orange peels.

Jamie Flanagan 36:21

Yep, the essential oils. You know, orange whip? Orange whip, you know that we need one more? Sure.

SPEAKER_07 36:26

Gotta all right. I'm gonna express my peel on my glass.

Jamie Flanagan 36:30

I know, I know. And so, yeah, they taught us vault.

SPEAKER_07 36:36

Cocktails to go. So, this vault in Wine Dot. I don't know where you guys, where do you guys get where are you from? Okay, so there's a place in Wine Dot, it's a little upscale. I mean, for two people, you're talking probably talking $200 meal, but they have their version of an old fashioned, they bottle it. You can buy bottles from them, but that he can't and it's fat wash. The main bartender came in, yeah, and it's fat wash. It's butter washed, right?

SPEAKER_05 37:00

Butter washed, not butter washed, butter washed, butter washed, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 37:04

And it's even thinking wash. Yeah, it stays for months.

Jamie Flanagan 37:10

Yep, there's you might need a little more ice. Do we have more ice? There's a little bit of the ice machine isn't cranking out the ice as quick in the summertime here.

SPEAKER_09 37:20

Are you good?

Jamie Flanagan 37:22

It's a little scotchy, it's a very scotchy. It's it's like scotch. Yeah, because it's disgusting. August would be your favorite. Here's our uh here's our glassware sponsor, fireball tavern. Cheers uh here's you doggy. The uh excellent.

We have a sticker draft.

Matt Fox 38:13
