About this episode
Today's topic is unusual cocktail ingredients - either those you've tasted in a cocktail, or those you'd like to see used more often. I think many of us have had the experience of sitting down at one of the more experimental cocktail bars in our area, looking at the menu, and saying: "You've got to be kidding me. How the heck are they gonna use that in a cocktail?" And the results - in reality - are usually mixed. Sometimes the unusual ingredients are well-incorporated, and the drink is tasty, and sometimes it's just there for the novelty factor, and the drink isn't balanced. This episode's guests include: Charlie Berkinshaw of Element Shrub Josh Wulf of the Wulf Cocktail Den Maria Littlefield of The Owl's Brew Chris Kiertz from Socktails Valerie Echeveste from Cocktails + Craft And Jordan Wicker of the Speaking Easy Podcast
