Show Notes
Uncle Brad and Jules crack open the world of nocino, a mysterious and delicious walnut liqueur, which could also be considered an amaro. Brad kicks things off with a Walnut Banana Bread Old Fashioned that puts everything you've learned from this podcast into practice—spirit, sweet, bitters, water, done. Jules counters with her Bitter Nocino, a nutty twist on the classic Negroni that'll make you rethink your ratios. You’ll want your clear ice for this one!

Then things get historical as Brad traces nocino's journey from ancient Druidic rituals through to the road to Rome, complete with tales of virgins climbing walnut trees under the summer solstice moon. Finally, Jules breaks down the art of fat washing spirits with practical tips that'll level up your home bar game. Whether you're here for the cocktails, the history, or the slightly scandalous folklore, this episode has something for everyone.
