Imbibe the Vibe

It's our 2021 premiere! We're talking about the spirit ya'll have been waiting for, and the music genre Jackson and I have been waiting for. Join us as we take the most quintessentially American spirit, and match it with one of the most idiomatically American music genres. We talk about the Old Fashioned, sample different flavored Juleps, and discuss how they blend with the pioneeri...

For our 2020 finale, we bring to you what you've been waiting for all year. That's right folks, it's Yacht Rock . And we pair it with the only nautically appropriate set of cocktails; Tiki Drinks.

In this very special episode, we reflect on different versions of an old classic American Standard, "It Was a Very Good Year." Made famous by Frank Sinatra, we explore some of the other classy (and some quirky) versions of the tune, match each version with classy (and sometimes quirky) original cocktail selections. We also think back on our lives and on 2020, and while it's been a h...

AV and JB from Bad Business teach you how to make your own Bloody Mary mix, the way Fernand Petiot (the inventor) wanted you to have it, all while listening to a spooky song by the Blasters. We talk about why the Bloody Mary is a perfect hair of the dog for a debaucherous Halloween, and, as a bonus, how to take a rail whiskey shot the right way. Remember - imbibe responsibly, and have fun out ther...

JB and AV, along with special guest Carson Rammelt explore the sweet and fruit-filled flavors of Brandy, while we listen to the low-key studio sophistication of 90s and 2000s Boy Band music.

Jackson and Alex take you on a Rye-addled journey through the gritty streets of early 00s NYC, as we pair the peppery spirit with biting sounds from 8 bands that breathed new life into Rock and Roll. Listen and taste the notes of everything from the Pickleback to the Golden Cadillac, TV on the Radio to the Strokes, and all the sweat, sting, and riffs in between. For bonus content, including links...

For our inaugural episode, we dive deep into the genesis of disco in Europe in the late 70s and early 80s. We sip on the only spirit that goes well with the pulsating sounds and spiky synths: Vodka.
