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.

146. What's Driving Dan to Drink? Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

When Dan is alone and angry, he sometimes drinks to quell his exquisite inner angst. This episode is one of those times. Among the things driving Dan to drink are CNN, Shatner in space, and shifting gender roles in the cocktail world. Special appearances from the cast of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," Motorhead and the late Marlon Brando as The Godfather. Strap in, it's a wild ride.

3-Minute Bartender: Cosmopolitan Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

Actor Willie Garson recently passed, and on this episode we honor his memory by paying tribute to the Cosmopolitan, a drink made famous on the show that made Willie famous too — "Sex and the City." A combination of vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice and lime juice, the Cosmo was the world's most popular libation in the 90s... and then it wasn't. Why? Well, as Carrie explained to Miranda in the 2008 SATC film when asked why they'd stopped drinking them, "because everyone else started."

143. Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

For years they starred as bloodsucking bros on "The Vampire Diaries," and now Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley have taken to a different kind of powerful elixir, Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Their brand launched earlier this year, and has already become a mega-hit... and with good reason — it's delicious bourbon. The boys tell all about the journey from dream to bottle. Also, roving correspondent Brad Japhe beams in from afar to discuss Yamazaki 55, one of the rarest and most expensive spirits ever brought to market. And Dan continues his annual tradition of ranting about that most ridiculous of manufactured booze "holidays," National Vodka Day. It's October 4th, btw (ya, like you didn't already have it in your calendar!)
