Love it or hate it, the history behind Pumpkin Spice is actually pretty interesting. Also, as Uncle Brad is “over” the whole PSL thing, he admits the spice combination does give the warm fuzzies for the season—but can we all agree the SEASON SHOULDN’T START UNTIL SEPTEMBER!?!? If you can bear with us, the PS Cognac Old Fashioned and PS Espresso Martini aren’t too shabby.

Possibly one of our most favorite cocktails, and it will be yours too. The Brandy Crusta hails from New Orleans, the Fig Crusta hails from Jules’ kitchen. Sip through history with us as we get into the story behind the Brandy Crusta. Stick around for tips on what to do with that bottle of Amaro Nonino that’s collecting dust on your shelf – GASP!!! Brandy Crusta Glass: small stemmed wine glass, goblet, flute, something cool Directions & Ingredients First sugar the rim of your glass by wetting the top with lemon juice (rub a small piece of lemon around the top) and dab the top of the glass into a small pile of sugar on a plate Next, make your garnish by peeling a lemon by going around the lemon. Pick a hemishpere, north or south (because you can make 2 garnishes this way). Next take your peeler and go around the world. YOu should end with a wide strip of lemon. Now, curl the lemon peel and you’ll notice that there seems one side (top or bottom) that is wider than the other – this is good. Curl the lemon so the wide opening is facing up and tuck it into the glass so just a little bit of the crow is showing and you’ve lined the inside of the glass with the peel. Now build your drink! In shaker add: 1.5 oz Cognac or Brandy 0.25 oz Cointreau or Orange Curacao 0.25 oz Maraschnio liqueur 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice 0.25 oz Rich simple syrup (2:1) 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash Cardamon bitters (you can use 2 dash of Ango if you don’t have this) Shake for 20 seconds Double strain through the center of your garnish When you or your guest goes to take their first sip, take a sniff first, then just push the peel down inside the glass, so you don’t slob the drink all over your chin and shirt. Jules’ Fig Crusta Tools needed: Glass: Couple glass please! In your shaker add: 2 oz Cognac ½ oz orange curacao ½ oz lemon juice 1 Fig 1 tbsp Fig Jam ¼ Maraschino liqueur 2 dashes angostura 1-2 sprigs thyme Muddle together Add ice and shake! Double strain into your coupe. Garnish with a fresh fig & thyme! TIP: @czouby What else can I use Amaro Nonino for aside for a paper plane?

Place the stem of the stick / spoon between your palms and rub back and forth. DON’T chop the ice up into bits. Make sure you are swizzling above the leaves. Be sure to push any leaves that may have strayed up towards the top back down. Fill the glass with more ice, until mounded on top Add more angostura bitters, soaking the top. You should have a nice 3 layered drink; green, gold, and a ice dark reddish brown at the top. Garnish with a few mint sprigs, slap ‘em around first and fluff them up before planting in your ice.

Jules is doing dry January, and Uncle Brad is trying to be supportive. In this episode we cover the Belini (and the Frozen Bitter Bellini). A drink created out of a love for art, peaches, and prosecco. Uncle Brad gives us the interesting history of Guiseppe Cipriani, inventor of the Belini and a famous appetizer (Uncle Brad’s favorite appetizer). Jules then teaches us how to make better frozen drinks. There are a lot or recipes out there, this is the original Bellini (original) Makes 4 1 lbs of white or yellow peaches (about 3) blanched and peeled (16oz of frozen will do) 1 bottle of prosecco, DOC or DOCG 4 tsp of cherry juice Make puree in a food processor, using a blender will create too much air. Puree until smooth Pour ½ bottle of prosecco into a pitcher and add 1 cup of puree and mix and 4 tsp of cherry juice. Add simple syrup to taste. Add 3 ounces of prosecco to 8 oz flute glass (FYI, you will have enough for 4 3oz pours) so if you have friends over, great! IN TODAY’s example. I used 16 oz of frozen, yellow peaches, 1/2oz simple syrup and put it in the food processor. I then added ½ bottle of prosecco to my pitcher… and added the peach puree to that. Stirring, with a little compassion, so I don’t fizz it up.

Uncle Brad discovered a drink while skiing in the French Alps, Vert Chaud (or Hot Green) and Cocolat au Rhum (Chocolate with Rum). It turns out, Chocolate and Chartreuse were meant to be together, and they never knew it. And so is chocolate and rum BTW. We understand that Chartreuse is in short supply, but if you stick around for the tips we’ll give you alternatives that can get you close. The history on this one is anyone's guess, but Uncle Brad has a theory that he’ll unfold in the history section. This is going to be your new favorite warm up beverage after a cold day outside. Trust and believe! Vert Chaud In a 10oz mug add 2oz Green Chartreuse* 6oz of creamy hot chocolate (recipe below) (stir) Layer 2oz of wet whipped cream by pouring the whipped cream over spoon into your drink Garnish with dusting of cocoa powders *IF YOU DON’T HAVE Chartreuse, you can use rum. In this case I used a split base of 1oz. Demerara 151 (any dark overproof will do) and an aged Martinique Rhum Agricole. But you can play with any aged rums. I chose the aforementioned because I wanted something French, and something strong to recreate the spirit forward taste of Chartreuse. Hot Chocolate Recipe 3.5 cups whole milk 0.5 cups heavy cream Go to the baking aisle to find the next 4oz bittersweet chocolate (you can use a bar or chips, which are less work) 4oz semisweet chocolate (you can use a bar or chips, which are less work) 2 Tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder (yes, that’s really a thing) 2 Tsp cornstarch 1 Tsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp Sugar (optional, it’s great without it) In sauce pan add Milk, cream, cornstarch, vanilla, cocoa powder and mix over medium low heat Whist constantly so no lumps and skin doesn’t form on top of the milk When bubbles form on sides and the mixture is starting to steam, remove from heat Add bittersweet and semisweet chips to the pan and stir until fully melted Add sugar if you feel you’d like it sweeter and mix until dissolved Pour into heat safe container so you can easily pour into your mug. Store extra in fridge and reheat gently. Prospector In mixing glass add: 1.5 oz Cognac 0.5 oz white creme de cacao 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse 0.5 oz Cointreau Stir until chilled (about 20 - 30 seconds) Strain over ice in rocks glass.

The highball is at the top of the cocktail family tree. It’s simply carbonated water and spirit, and that inspired a lot of inventions (see Collins, Paloma, Cuba Libre, anything in a tall glass mixed with bubbles). The Japanese however, have taken this from just a 2 ingredient cocktail (technically 3 if you include ice) to an art form. Jules did the same, by infusing Cognac with Peach and adding a bit of basil syrup and lemon… geez it’s good. Japanese Highball Before you begin: chill collins glass in freezer Be in the moment, and smile Now.. in your chilled glass: Add chunk(s) of clear ice (filling glass halfway) and stir for 30 seconds. Pour excess water out. Add 2 oz whiskey over ice, and ice - and stir 13.5 times EXACTLY. I used Nikka Coffey Malt (this is not coffee flavored - it is made in a Coffey style still), you can use Suntory Toki, or any spirit if you want. Add 1 more piece of ice (if needed) and top of with 6 oz of carbonated water (can split with Ginergale if you like). The more carbonation the better. Nestle bars poon under ice and stir 3.5 times EXACTLY. When finished stirring, softly lift the spoon out of the glass WITHOUT disturbing the drink any further. Take thick lemon peel and express via match over drink, twist, and set peel in drink. If you want to add a bit of different flavors, you can use bitters and I’ve even used a touch of cinnamon simple Peach Infused Cognac Highball Before you begin: Chill your glass Making Peach Cognac: 2 cups Cognac in jar cut up 1 peach, remove pit, and let sit for 1 week In your glass 2 oz peach infused whiskey ½ oz lemon juice ½ oz basil syrup 4 oz club soda Gently mix with a mixing spoon Garnish with a basil leaf & enjoy The Art of Drinking IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast Jules IG: @join_jules TikTok: @join_jules Website: joinjules.com Brad IG: @favorite_uncle_brad This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast IG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bee’s Knees is a prohibition era cocktail that’s finer than the frogs eyebrows. It deserves a place on your cocktail menu! The Bee’s Knees is a gin sour that swaps out simple syrup for honey syrup. The Bee’s Knees is easy to make, tastes delicious, and has pretty cool history. Jules puts a spicy apricot spin on this classic and gives us the 411 on honey. Honey syrup recipe: Equal parts honey and water Add honey and an equal amount of hot water to sauce. Heat until honey incorporates into water - DO NOT BOIL Let cool to room temperature and store in airtight container Bee’s Knees recipe: Chill your coupe glass In your boston shaker (28/18 tin on tin) add: 2oz gin, use a floral gin (contemporary or new western style gin) 1 oz of FRESH squeezed lemon juice ½ oz honey syrup Copious amounts of ice and shake!!! Double strain using hawthorn and fine mesh strainer into coupe glass Take a swipe of your lemon with your Y-peeler and express the oils over the drink and tip from Kaitlyn Stewart (@likeablecocktails) give the stem a rub with the lemon peel Garnish with lemon twist, I like to clean up the lemon peel with a paring knife. Cut off rough edges and cut ends on a bias. Then twist around a bar spoon to make a curl. Then I add a notch mid-peel at a 45 degree angle so the twist can hang on the edge of the coupe glass. Hot Honey Apricot Bee’s Knees Hot honey syrup recipe Exact same as the honey syrup recipe above - only you’re using hot (spicy) honey Chill your coupe glass Open one to two apricots, remove pits and add flesh to cocktail shaker Add ¾ oz fresh lemon juice Add ½ oz of hot honey syrup Muddle Add 2 oz gin Add ice and shake.

The Caipirinha and its star ingredient, Chachaca are difficult to say, but give them the respect they’ve earned from their rich history. The national drink(s) of Brazil are easy to make and even easier to drink.
