Cocktails, anyone? It’s time to think outside the glass as we welcome podcast impresario Jason Stewart of How Long Gone, aka DJ Them Jeans, for a boozy ride down libations lane. The gals shake up four unique creations, each representing a different era in modern mixology—from the unnaturally sweet sensations of the early 2000’s, to the maple-bacon masculinity of the mid 2010s—as we trace Jason’s journey from Last Night’s Party mainstay to respectable graduate of Hendrick’s U. From the feminine mystique of a lemon drop to the subtle refinement of a cynar negroni, Jason’s in-home sauna, Steven’s love of French Touch and everyone’s latent bisexuality, this is one very happy hour.
