What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn — Arts
What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn

A fantabulous conflation of history, culture, politics, famous people and booze, strained through the cognitive mesh of a best-selling author, polymath and inveterate reprobate.

3-Minute Bartender: Sidecar Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

Among the many vintage gems found in “Professor” Jerry Thomas’s illustrated Bar-Tender’s Guide of 1862, is a drink that originated in New Orleans called a Brandy Crusta. The recipe called for cognac, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and several types of bitters, served in a glass with a sugar “crust” (hence the name). Somewhere down the line, the Brandy Crusta was reimagined — sans bitters — and dubbed the Sidecar. This is that drink's story... in under 4 minutes!

168. Live at The Stand Comedy Club, NYC Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

For the third time since the pandemic began (and feigned being over) we return to The Stand Comedy Club in Manhattan for a riotously funny live panel in front of a sold-out crowd. Hopefully the third time is a charm re: Covid finally leaving us alone. Guests include comedians Joe DeRosa, Justin Silver, Natalie Cuomo and Sean Patton. What we're drinking throughout is Neptunia, a brand new expression from Hendrick's Gin, and what we're doing throughout is bringing the funny and the raunch.

3-Minute Bartender: Manhattan Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

All hail the Manhattan! This classic cocktail named for NY’s most celebrated borough is, like the place, full of complexity, and definitely not for the faint of heart. But once you’ve come around to it, no other libation will ever move you in quite the same way. In about the time it takes to get through the Holland Tunnel (non-rush hour), Dan tells all about the only cocktail that can slug it out toe-to-toe with the martini.

162. Gianni Russo of 'The Godfather' Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Dan has a rollicking conversation with the great Gianni Russo, best known for playing Carlo Rizzi in "The Godfather," which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Gianni talks about everything — his relationship to organized crime, his disdain for James Can, killing a pedophile when he was 11 years old and, of course, his love of wine. Our host has dubbed this interview an instant classic. Not to be missed. Also on the show, our favorite wine expert Claire Coppi of SommTV shares some big news, and friend of the show, Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, offers his thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's mafia masterpiece.
