Show notes

In part one of a two-part history series, Uncle Brad traces the origins of one of the oldest cocktails on record, connecting its lineage directly to the Old Fashioned, explaining why 19th century Americans were drinking cocktails with their eggs and toast, and uncovering a surprising twist: the way we make this drink today is essentially the inverse of how it was originally prepared. The history of champagne itself is a story big enough to deserve its own episode - we'll get into that next week. Chill your coupe, make sure your champagne is cold, and stay tuned - this is only the beginning. Champagne Cocktail Take 1 sugar and place it on your barspoon Add 2 – 3 dashes of Angostura bitters to the cube Fill a chilled champagne flute or coupe glass ½ way with Brut champagne Drop it the sugar cube into your glass and top off with more champagne No garnish needed The Art of Drinking IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast Website: www.theartofdrinkingpodcast.com Join Jules IG: @join_jules TikTok: @join_jules Website: joinjules.com Uncle Brad IG: @favorite_uncle_brad This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast IG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
