The Macuá

For episode thirteen, Julia and Calum are joined by Cameron Millar, brand ambassador for The Macallan single malt scotch, who tells us about the long-awaited return of The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year and a finest summer-sipping scotch cocktail, The Sherry Copa. 

For episode twelve, Calum regales Julia with the history of the Paper Plane, a legendary modern cocktail that's among the newest to entire the pantheon of boozy all-timers. Grab the bourbon, the Aperol, and the Amaro, and join along. If you come around here, we make 'em all day.

Happy Canada Day! For our eleventh episode, Julia tries to sell Calum on a fond family favourite and national treasure: The Caesar, Canada's cocktail claim to fame. We also offer our review of the new Don Julio Reposado Double Cask Lagavulin-edition! 

Everyday Drinking returns from holiday to celebrate the vaunted Stinger cocktail, as well as to discuss the highs and lows of mint-flavoured liqueurs, makeshift cocktails to make whilst camping, and the mysterious society of the much-coveted Fernet-Branca coin. 

For episode nine, Julia delves into the contested history of one of the greatest cocktails ever concocted, the Margarita, including an inevitable digression into the most magical place on earth, Margaritaville. 

For episode eight, Calum relates his adventures in sunny Nicaragua, where he skied down an active volcano, learned to appreciate rum, and discovered the Nicaraguan national cocktail, The Macuá. 

For our seventh, surprisingly musical episode, Julia expounds on the amusing history of the classic Tom Collins, a simple, delectable classic with a hoax-inspired backstory. 

Calum and Julia attempt the sacrilegious by experimenting with a profane highball: The Smoky Cokey, a shocking combination of Lagavulin scotch and Coca-Cola that's also shockingly delicious. 

For episode five, Julia explains the fascinating origins of her new quarantine cocktail obsession, milk punch -- the ideal batch drink to whip up in isolation. 

For episode four, Calum and Julia are joined by Paul Feig, creator of TV's Freaks and Geeks and acclaimed director of Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, and Last Christmas, to discuss his brand-new Artingstall's Brilliant London Dry Gin and his preferred method of making a classic dry martini.
