Whiskey Sour 18 Mar 2009

Hi Robert, I was just making a Whiskey Sour, which happened to draw me back to reference this video. A couple things: 1. I am so appreciative that you are doing this podcast. I have gone from knowing next to nothing about cocktails to being what my friends all consider a massive cocktail geek. I owe that mainly to you and your infectious passion for them. 2. I was using that exact french shaker you were using in the podcast, but I can never get the thing apart! You may have addressed this before, but do you have any tricks for it? I always end up having to bang it on the counter, which is far less dignified than I like my cocktail making to be. 3. I have been looking for a cooking podcast that is up to the same sort of standard you have established here and have yet to find one. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot! Alex

Great episode! I can't wait to try this one out this evening. I'm always looking for more things to do with tequila, and I'm surprised I never thought to try this before.

I recently got some more of the Fee Bros bitters and have been doing a bit of experimenting, and I find this recipe works REALLY well with their rhubarb bitters. Give it a try!

I agree wholeheartedly with many of the above comments. The depth of discussion of the history, and particularly for me, the theory, if you will, of the cocktails is what makes this podcast truly wonderful, so I would never complain if there were more!

In other words, anyone can tell us "here's a drink that tastes good", but you manage to explain to us WHY it's good.
