Welcome to episode 35 of The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle

What are we drinking this week?

The Old Fashioned could have its own season because there are 100’s of ways to make them. In this episode we make use of your Cherry Heering from the Singapore Sling episode and use it for a Cherry Old Fashioned. Jules blows Uncle Brad away with her Freezer Door Old Fashioned. Stick around for the history of Angostura Bitters.
