Clash of the Titans : Old Fashioned vs. Manhattan with Adam Morgan of Husk

Nov 11th, 2022 · Season 4 · Episode 23

Mike and Kenneth bring in old friend and colleague Adam Morgan of Husk to talk about two titans of the cocktail world: the Old Fashioned and Manhattan. Together they share plenty of recipes and techniques for making delicious variations on both drinks, and dive into the fascinating history of these foundational standards. Adam discusses his love of Sotol and Mezcal Old Fashioned's, and the crew provides a measurement chart to use for those old, antiquated Manhattan recipes. Booze News sees Kenneth tackle black holes that produce their own alcohol, the 40th birthday of the "Silver Lady" drink, and how 8 clams watch over the water source for the city of Warsaw. Bonus: does Kid Rock want to have a beer with Obama? Liquid Gold reminds you to never double bird while driving.

Catch us at the Bookshop East on Wednesday, November 16th at 5:30pm as we sign copies of the new book "Cheer," and serve up some punch with the fine folks of Peninsula restaurant.
