What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn

Show notes

For four glorious seasons, South Boston's own Jack Maxwell had a dream job — or Dan Dunn's idea of a dream job, anyway — globetrotting and imbibing as the host of "Booze Traveler" on the Travel Channel. Not that Dan's still bitter about losing out on that gig. Ok, maybe he remains a tad salty, but he's got nothing but love for Mr. Maxwell. Also on tap, Tristan Mermin, founder and CEO of California-based Batiste Rhum, a delicious adult beverage that also happens to be one of the most sustainably made spirits on the planet... and boy, the planet really needs that right now!

Bourbon and hamburgers... two great tastes that taste great together!

And on this episode, we're getting way into Kaveh's whiskey. You're gonna wanna bust out the rocks glasses and napkins for this juicy episode.

3-Minute Bartender: The White Russian Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

In the course of 180-some-odd seconds, Dan lays out the history and proper preparation technique of the cocktail canon's most slovenly standout — a middling, uncomplicated cream drink from the mid-20th century that would likely have faded into obscurity had it not been plucked from a room crowded with milkshake-like beverages of the era and ushered into the spotlight by Jeff Bridges in the 1998 movie, "The Big Lebowski." We recommend listening while wearing sunglasses and a bathrobe, and perhaps a rug that ties the room together.
