It’s Happy Hour! Ben and Matthew discuss the time and place for jiggers, why the fear of Boston shakers is worth it, and Matthew converts Ben over to the classy stylings of the mixing glass. Later they introduce one shaken and one stirred cocktail. So you can use all that new fancy equipment you just bought. (Affiliate) links below!Ben’s is shaking up Ben’s Whiskey Sour, a whiskey sour with all the fixin’s. It’s got egg whites, it’s got bitters, it’s got high proof rye whiskey, it’s got Argentinian wine, and it’s got bacon. Wait. No bacon, but that might be something we should try. Anyway, even without the bacon it tastes as good as it looks: decadent and delicious.Meanwhile Matthew is using his favorite piece of bar equipment, his mixing glass, to make you the Holy Schmitt. It’s a boozy battle between sweet and bitter with a sweet surprise hiding at the bottom.
