The Cocktail College Podcast: Eggnog

We like to keep things fairly evergreen here at “Cocktail College.” However, it would feel a bit out of place to run an episode on eggnog at the height of summer when sweat is dripping down our backs and we’re all craving a refreshing seasonal sipper. So here we are, less than a week out from Dec. 25, with the ultimate guide to this all-American staple. For this festive episode of “Cocktail College,” Tim McKirdy is joined by returning guest Aaron Goldfarb, author and VinePair writer at large.

The Cocktail College Podcast: The Corpse Reviver No. 1
Bartenders, you know fruit forms the heart of so many great cocktails — but keeping it fresh and consistent year-round? That’s a challenge — but not when you have Les vergers Boiron on hand. For decades, they’ve been the gold standard in the culinary and pastry worlds — in fact, back when I was a chef we used them all the time in sorbets, sauces, and mousses. And you have to check out Boiron’s line of fruit purees crafted specifically for beverages: Ambient purees. We’re talking real fruit, no added sugar, no artificial colors — and they’re totally shelf-stable. The article The Cocktail College Podcast: The Corpse Reviver No. 1 appeared first on VinePair .

The Cocktail College Podcast: The East India Cocktail
First documented in the late 1800’s, the East India Cocktail combines Cognac, curaçao, fruit syrup, bitters, and Maraschino liqueur. The drink has been tweaked, misattributed, and misunderstood for over a century, with the fruit syrup presenting one of biggest lingering question marks. What should said fruit be? How are we making the syrup? And what is such a bespoke ingredient doing in a 19th-century cocktail in the first place? Here to answer all of those questions is Chicago-based Abe Vucekovich, beverage director at Meadowlark Hospitality.

The Cocktail College Podcast: The Between the Sheets
A quasi-Sidecar riff, the Between the Sheets is a 1930s creation that often flies under the radar. While the drink’s split base of Cognac, rum, and orange curaçao might be equal in quantity, there’s no question regarding the guiding North Star of this drink. Joining us today to discuss the classic is Ricky Ramirez, owner of The Mothership in Milwaukee and a certified rum savant. So enamored with rum is Ricky that he whipped up three versions of this cocktail, each with a different brand and style of rum so that each has a grand impact on the finished drink.
