Description

We're back with another All Spice Dram cocktail, and this week we're exploring the Lion's Tail—a bourbon-based classic that emerged from the creative explosion of post-Prohibition mixology. Brad walks you through the proper technique for crafting this spirited sipper then dives into its fascinating history and the possible origins of its name. Jules adds her personal twist to the recipe, then shifts gears for our tip segment with a guide to the three most popular fall amaro’s that should be on your radar as the weather cools down. Whether you're looking to expand your home bar or just want to impress at your next gathering, this episode delivers the goods.
