Drink Like Sailor Podcast

EP 4 - A Damn Good Manhattan & Book Club

In this episode of Drink Like Sailor, I am joined by guest Sydney Jones, lead distillery technician at the newly constructed Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. 
I make and enjoy a damn good Manhattan while discussing the historic role of women in distilling. Together, we highlight how the concept of the at-home drinking space and the role of the at-home bartender emerged because of women being largely excluded from drinking in most public spaces.
It’s interesting to consider how the idea of creating home bars gained popularity because bars and public spaces often excluded women. We explore this topic inspired by the book The Cocktail Parlor, How Women Brough the Cocktail Home, by Nicole Nice.
Sydney also shares her three most impactful hard rock albums of all time. Give it a listen and hit that subscribe button on your favorite podcast app.

Ep 3 James Bond And The Martini

In this episode of Drink Like Sailor with guest Kala Ellis, a hospitality veteran from Nashville, Tennessee, we deep dive into the Bond & American Martini and the cultural impact that Ian Fleming’s iconic character James Bond and his preferred style of “Shaken Not Stirred Martini” changed the cocktail culture.
Should you drink a Martini shaken? What is the Vesper cocktail, and why do Sailor and Kala feel it’s the cocktail that should replace the American Martini?
And find out Sailor & Kala's favorite Bond actors, villains, and Kala’s top 3 metal albums of all time!
