HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

HILF 73 - The Toast with Jules and Uncle Brad

Episode Summary

Join Dawn and her guests, Jules and Uncle Brad, as they make (and drink) two giant cocktails while learning the history of The Toast. You'll walk away fully loaded with amusing toasts that’ll really blow their hair back around the punch bowl this year.

Episode Notes

Dawn's guests are two connoisseurs of drinking, Juliana McIntosh and Brad Sutton - the neice-and-uncle-team behind the hit podcast, The Art of Drinking.  Jules is an influencer in the craft cocktail space (what?); and her real-life uncle Brad serves up classic cocktail recipes and history. Swoon!

**During the episode, we make and drink 2 cocktails! 

Recipes and approximate time-code in the episode when we start making ours is below so you can toast along with us!

COCKTAIL #1 - The View Carre. [00:13:00]

• 3/4 oz Rye whiskey (higher proof, like 100 proof but not more. Rittenhouse makes a good one)
• 3/4 oz Cognac (I like Pierre Ferrand Ambre but Remy Martin VSOP works well too)
• 3/4 oz   Strucchi Rosso Vermouth (or Dolin Rouge)
• 2 tsp Benedictine D.O.M. (make sure it's DOM and not B&B)
• 2 dash Peychaud's bitters (white label, red liquid)
• 1 dash Angostura bitters

1. In mixing glass add all ingredients and fill the mixing glass with ice so you have more ice than liquid.
2. Stir for 20 - 30 seconds.
3. Using hawthorn strainer, strain into chilled rocks glass over large cube
4. Garnish with lemon peel 
    

COCKTAIL #2 - The Black Manhattan [00:40:00]

• 2 oz Rye whiskey (use your favorite Rye. The Rittenhouse might work well here, but could get hot)
• 1 oz Averna Amaro
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
• 1 dash Orange bitters

1. In mixing glass add all ingredients and fill the mixing glass with ice so you have more ice than liquid.
2. Stir for 20 - 30 seconds.
3. Using hawthorn strainer, strain into chilled coupe glass.
4. Garnish with brandied cherry / luxardo cherry (or something similar)  - just drop it in or put it on a pick if you're fancy
