A cocktail used to be something that you had in the morning. But if you did drink too much at night, you might need something to help you ease into the day. This is where the corpse reviver name comes from, and the cocktail we enjoy today was popularized by the great Harry Craddock in his 1930 “The Savoy Cocktail Book”. This is a short history of the Corpse Reviver No. 2, a delicious drink for anytime of the year. Happy Halloween everyone, cheers!

Thomas Andersen is the man behind Cocktails of Copenhagen, which this year was a finalist for Saveur’s Best Drinks Blog category. We talk about how he got started with Cocktails of Copenhagen, and the medium that he originally saw for this project. I also got to dive to Thomas life, discussing everything from how he landed his first gig as a bartender to his current day job, helping  entrepreneurs and researchers connect and work on product development.

We also talk about Aqua Vita, Denmark's national spirit, and I’ve linked to Thomas free E-book on the topic below. I had an awesome time talking with Thomas, and hope that you all enjoy. Cheers!

Kate Richards has one of the most original Instagram accounts out there. Drinking with Chickens beautifully combines her chickens, her backyard, and her sarcastic personality into an account that is truly one of a kind. During this interview Kate not only shares about her experience with the chickens, but also all of the other animals that she currently has. We also talked about the metal artwork that she does, which I’ve linked to below. And of course we got into how Drinking with Chickens got started, which is an awesome story all on it’s own.

I hope that you all enjoy this one as much as I did, and a big thank you to Kate for coming on the show. Cheers!
