#cocktail which restructures the whole conversation about the drink name. Bill Boothby had numerous Barbara cocktails. Doug thinks they might celebrate film actress Barbara Lamarr...not a Barbara West.

Episode 43: Who is Barbara West? – The Barbara West Cocktail
Initially we all figured that this cocktail history would be a slam dunk. It has a name of a person...it's named after someone. It has to be easy to find out. We couldn't have been more wrong. This drink was a complete mystery. Jay could not find any references to it anywhere prior to our source book from 2009. So we couldn't find the source...and from there we couldn't identify the origin of the name. Looking at the name Barbara West itself, we searched for Barbara Wests of note. There is a Barbara West Titanic survivor. There also is a book with the title of Barbara West. None of these helped to shed light on the origins of the cocktail. This in and of itself is amazing. How does this drink fail to have any sort of background? How did our source book, Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails know about this cocktail to be able to list it? We would welcome anybody with some hard sources to share to end this mystery. The ingredients for this drink are:
2 oz – gin
1 oz – sherry
1/2 oz –...

Episode 41: A Drink with Count Charming – Arnaud's Special Cocktail
Episode #41 takes us once again to New Orleans to sit down with a lesser known yet still classic cocktail, the Arnaud’s Special. In 1918 a French wine merchant, Arnaud Cazanave, moved to New Orleans to open a restaurant, aptly named Arnaud’s, and live the American dream. Unfortunately, in the next year Prohibition threatened to end that dream. With everything on the line, Arnaud basically ignored the law and continued serving alcohol at his establishment in secret rooms or in coffee cups. He was eventually found out and imprisoned, but as a popular citizen of the city and a little of his famous entrepreneurial charm he had the charges dismissed. At this point he acquired the unofficial title of Count. He gives us a pretty comprehensive understanding of Mr. Cazanave and his role in building the French Quarter of New Orleans. He was pretty much the king of the town, owning blocks of the city and transforming them into restaurants and lounges; he made the French Quarter what it is. Unfortunately, Jay ...

Episode 40: Jockeying for Position – Mint Julep
Occasionally we will find cocktails where you can see a clear linear progression or evolution. This ain’t one of those. In this episode, we tackle the messy and minty history of the Mint Julep. While there is a pretty standard recipe nowadays for a Mint Julep, its early iterations varied from state to state and bartender to bartender. It might be change from brandy to bourbon or add fruit, or lots of fruit, or in one case ice cream and rosebuds. There was also a whole bunch of different methods for how to handle the mint. Just don’t crush it, or it could end up in a duel.
You can’t discuss the Mint Julep without talking about the Kentucky Derby. We run through the origins of the Kentucky Derby from Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. bringing the derby idea to the Kentucky from Britain, to it becoming a gambling powerhouse, to the floppy hat event we see today.
Join us as we explore possibility of the Mint Julep’s originating as medicine to treat stomachaches in the 18th century, whether the addition of fru...
