We’re joined once again by Indigenous advocate, bartender, and doom metal queen Chockie Tom, as well as our resident anticapitalist cocktail creator, Jessie Torres. In this episode, we discuss how the art of crafting cocktails can be used as a medium for storytelling, exploring the role of the bartender as a sort of subversive educator. This brings us to the incredible drink these two created for our previous episode on Indigenous empowerment in the drink and hospitality industry. Recipe below!Going forward, we plan to release bonus episodes as exclusive content for our wonderful Patreon supporters. But don’t worry– our regular episodes will continue to feature the sidebar with Jesse :) Got feedback for us about bonus content?
