Join Uncle Brad and Jules as they dive into the Kentucky Mule and eventually dive into the bourbon boom that's burning holes in our wallets. Uncle Brad breaks down the proper way to craft this whiskey-forward twist on the classic Moscow Mule, exploring its brief but uninteresting origins. But the conversation meanders a bit bourbon's explosive popularity and how it's transformed from an affordable American spirit into a luxury commodity that has whiskey lovers everywhere feeling the pinch. Meanwhile, Jules puts her seasonal spin on the classic with "Falling For A Mule" – an autumnal variation that captures the essence of fall in a copper mug. From the history behind the Kentucky Mule to the economic forces driving today's bourbon craze, this episode serves up equal parts cocktail education and industry insight. In our tip section, listener Kate poses a thought-provoking question that gets Uncle Brad and Jules dreaming: if you could go back in time to any bar in history, which would you choose and what would you order? Their answers might surprise you and will definitely have you pondering your own cocktail time travel fantasies. Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast wondering when prices will come back down to earth or just looking for your next signature fall cocktail, this episode has something to sip on.
