  Join Jules and Uncle Brad as they shake up the Applejack Rabbit, a Prohibition-era classic born in the speakeasies of 1920s New York. Uncle Brad takes you back to 1928 when humorist "Judge Jr." first published this recipe in his cheeky cocktail guide Here's How!, then traces the drink's journey from Northeast speakeasies to the pages of The Savoy Cocktail Book—and its modern revival thanks to craft cocktail pioneers like Jim Meehan. You'll learn how to build the perfect version at home, and Jules adds her signature agave spin. Plus, if you picked up All Spice Dram for last week's episode, we've got another delicious use for it. Cheers to American ingenuity and rediscovering old favorites.   Applejack Rabbit  Glass: Coupe  Garnish: Lemon twist  Directions & Ingredients  In shaker add  2.0 oz Laird’s bonded apple jack  0.75 oz Fresh orange juice  0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice  0.5 oz Maple Syrup   Shake for 20 seconds  Double Strain into your chilled coupe  Add lemon twist garnish    Agavejack Rabbit  Glass: Coupe  Garnish: Lemon twist  Directions & Ingredients  In shaker add  2.0 oz Fall Apple Infused Tequila.

• Ep. 119: A Most Dangerous Spectacle – The Blue Blazer

  STOP! Before you try to make this drink, you will need to purchase Blue Blazer mugs  Where do I get Blue Blazer mugs you ask? Golden Age Bartending has a set of 2 you can purchase for about $50. www.goldenagebartending.com. Then go research fire safety!     In this episode we are turning up the heat—literally—with one of cocktail story's most spectacular and dangerous drinks: the Blue Blazer. This flaming whiskey cocktail isn't just mixed, it's performed, as blazing liquid cascades between two metal mugs in a fiery arc that's as mesmerizing as it is risky. In fact, make this drink at your own risk – things can go sideways easy. We talk about what we did to keep things safe, but you need to do your homework too if you decide to try to make this one.   Of course, we dive into the story of Jerry Thomas, the legendary 19th-century bartender who created this showstopper and quite literally wrote the book on bartending. His Blue Blazer became the grandfather of flaming cocktails and established the art of theatrical bartending that still captivates audiences today.  Jules and I walk you through the technique, the proper equipment (those specialized Blue Blazer mugs exist for a reason), and—most importantly—the safety precautions you absolutely need to know before attempting this at home. Because while the Blue Blazer is undeniably impressive, it demands respect and caution.  Whether you're a cocktail historian, a pyro enthusiast, or just curious about the drinks that pushed bartending into performance art, this episode illuminates the legacy of Jerry Thomas and the drink that proved cocktails could be both craft and spectacle.  Blue Blazer recipe: You’ll need 2 Blue Blazer mugs to make the drink and 2 different mugs (or Brandy snifters) to serve the drink.    Ingredients (makes 2):  4 oz cask strength scotch  2 tsp of sugar  3 oz boiling water    Steps  Warm the scotch – it lights and stays lit easier  Warm a separate brandy snifter or ceramic mug  Lay down a damp towel and clear your area of any flammable materials  Place your Blue Blazer mugs on the towel – this is your workspace  In 1 of the METAL mugs, pour in your ingredients – leaving the other mug empty for now  Light the drink on fire   Carefully roll the mix between the Blue Blazer mugs 5 times. Keeping your hands away from the top of the handle (it’ gets hot over the receiving mug).  Place the empty mug over the flaming mug to put out the fire – once the fire is out you can continue to roll the drink between mugs to dissolve the sugar  IMPORTANT: pour your cocktail into a new vessel – either a warmed brandy snifter or a ceramic mug. Otherwise, you WILL burn your lips on the Blue Blazer mugs  Garnish with a lemon twist    TIP: Fire and alcohol     Thinking about purchasing a Klaris ice machine?

• Ep. 118: Cider’s Glow-Up – A Comeback Story

  Move over, fancy cocktails—this week we're cracking open the truth about cider, the beverage world's most underappreciated beverage. Join us as Jules whips up some stovetop cider magic (yes, your kitchen will smell amazing), while Uncle Brad proves that cider deserves a spot on your shelf, or in your fridge. We learn there are regional differences, which may explain why you may not like cider – you've only had 1 type or a specific brand. Uncle B also gives us a few tips on how cider could play well with others in your cocktail shaker. We're here to defend cider's honor and rescue it from its undeserved stepchild status—because this drink has history, regional flair, and deserves a permanent spot in your fridge. Uncle Brad takes us on a surprisingly fascinating journey through the history of the apple and then gives us the history behind cider – there's a connection here.  Pour yourself something delicious and let's give cider the love it deserves.    TIP: whole spices vs. Ground spices  Thinking about purchasing a Klaris ice machine?
