In this episode we get into the a proper grasshopper. It’s a surprisingly crushable drink if you follow Brad’s lead. This drink has roots that seem to come from everywhere, and Uncle Brad get’s into it. Jules puts a grinchy spin on it with mezcal and fernet – yikes! Nah, it’s actually pretty good ;-) GrasshopperGlass: Coupe Garnish: shaved chocolate Directions & Ingredients In mixing glass add: .75 oz.

Possibly the best way to enjoy Rum, according to Uncle Brad, is in a Hot Buttered Rum. It’s warm, holiday spices, and who doesn’t like the richness of butter? If you’ve never had one, don’t get all judge-y on us, this is lights out good. UB gives us a fool proof recipe and Jules puts a time period appropriate twist on it with Applejack, pecans, and maple syrup. Stick around for the colonial history behind the drink and we answer @annagouboy’s question, “what are some good bottle combinations for gift giving”.

Happy Halloween! We have a CROWD PLEASER for you today. The Charles Dickens punch, which is set ablaze before it is served and best believe, it’s good. Jules also reveals her Poison Apple-tini witch is hauntingly delicious. Uncle Brad digs into the history behind Charles Dickens’ punch, and it turns out... he was kind of a dickens. You’ll know what we mean when you listen.
Charles Dickens Punch
Glass: Heat resistant Punch Bowl (or heavy pot) and heat resistant glasses
Garnish: Lemon wheels and grated nutmeg
Ingredients:
Cognac 1.25 cups
Rum 2 cups
Black Tea 5 cups
4 Lemons (set 1 aside)
Demerara Sugar 0.75 cups
Directions
In your punch bowl add:
Thin peels (no pith) of 3 medium lemons (set lemons aside, you will juice these later)
¾ cup demerara sugar
Using your fingers, press/mash the sugar together with the lemon peels (oils will start to extract form the lemon peels)
Let sit for 30 min or as long as overnight (more flavor comes through the longer it its)
In a saucepan add:
5 cups water
10 ounces of black tea (could be loose tea or 10 tea bags)
Boil the tea for 3 – 5 minutes – it's ok, black tea is more oxidized and can handle the boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
Juice 3 lemons (from step 1) and strain into a separate vessel, you don’t want pulp and seeds floating in your punch
Take a minute to warm your next two ingredients (you can combine) over low heat in a sauce pan (don’t let this catch fire... yet). Or add the ingredients to a large jar (enough to hold 3.25 cups of liquid) and let rest inside your saucepan of hot tea. You can also warm your ladle in here too, you will want it warm so it doesn’t cool off the spirits.
Now BACK TO YOUR PUNCH BOWL. Add:
2 cups Rum (warmed)
1 ¼ cup Cognac (warmed)
Ladel a small amount of the rum and cognac out and hold it away from the punch bowl. Light the contents of the ladle on fire. You should see a nice blue flame coming off the ladle. If it doesn’t light, your ingredients are still too cold.
Turn back to your punch bowl and hold the ladle close to the top of the bowl, pour the fiery contents of the ladle into the bowl
Now that the contents of the bowl are ablaze in a beautiful blue flame.
****Let the bowl burn for 3 – 4 minutes and stir occasionally with the ladle***
After the fire has burned for 3 – 4 minutes, add your tea and lemon juice
If the fire did not go out, go ahead and gently blow it out or cover it with a tray
Remove the lemon pips if you plan to let the punch sit for more than a few hours
Slice 1 lemon (saved for your garnish) into half wheels and add them to the punch or individual servings.
Grate a little nutmeg over the top per glass or over the entire bowl.
Poison Apple-tini
Glass: Nick and Nora glass
Garnish: Grenadine
Directions & Ingredients
First start by cooking down your grenadine to create a thick syrup style texture.
Place on a rimming dish and let cool slightly before rimming glass with the grendaine and letting it fall like blood.
In a cocktail shaker add
2 oz apple whiskey
1 oz apple pucker
1.5 oz cranberry juice
2tbsp gold edible glitter
Add ice and shake!
Strain into a nick and nora with a bloody rim
TIP: How to make your drinks black for Halloween, or whenever. Thanks for the question @winelalala

If drinks were awarded combat medals, the Suffering Bastard would be leading the charge like a drunken hero in a bar fight. In today’s episode, Uncle Brad is our cocktail sergeant, teaching us how to mix this valiant, tiki-style concoction while regaling us with its dramatic backstory.

I mean, if you serve these at your party, you’re basically guaranteeing a ghostly good time! And don’t wander off just yet! We’ve got tips on how to achieve that frothy head on your Espresso Martini.

Love it or hate it, the history behind Pumpkin Spice is actually pretty interesting.

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?

Turns out, this drink doesn’t suck! Uncle Brad had strong feelings in the past, but now is a big fan, and you will be too. Jules brings a late summer inspired Gimlet. Stick around for the history on the Gimlet – shocker, the British Navy had something to do with it.

The Jungle Bird is a cocktail you need to be familiar with, especially if you struggle with that bottle of Campari that’s staring at you from your bar cart. This tiki drink makes excellent use of our bitter friend in a way that will please even the most hateful of Campari haters – and we feel bad for the haters (please don’t hate). Uncle Brad goes into the surprising origins of the Jungle Bird and, of course, gives us the real deal recipe while Jules hits us with a Kentucky twist. Stick around for the excellent tip inspired by @aberryx
