Show Notes
If there was ever a drink with a reputation, this is definitely it. Uncle Brad and Jules get into making a proper Long Island and Jules puts a twist on it with Jamacian Rum, Mint, and Bourbon... I mean, why not? Uncle B gives us the history behind the drink, and there’s a little drama to share. Then Brad takes on a great question from Nathan Batley (all the way from Winchester, UK). He’s been reading up on the old cocktail books like The Savoy Cocktail Book and Cafe Royal Cocktail book and asks, “could you outline the different measurements used like glass, wine glass, liqueur glass, etc (also talk about the ratios and what that means)?”
We got you covered Nathan... mostly.
