Join co-hosts Uncle Brad and Jules as they explore the sophisticated world of gin, from modern craft cocktails to historic London streets. Jules shares the story behind her signature creation, the Meditaranio—a Mediterranean-inspired gin sour featuring fresh basil and silky egg white that she crafted specially for her sister's Sicilian wedding. This elegant twist on the classic sour perfectly captures the herb-scented warmth of the Italian countryside.
Uncle Brad then takes listeners on a journey through gin's darker past, diving deep into the notorious Gin Craze of 18th-century England. Discover how this beloved spirit went from being a cheap, destructive vice that nearly brought London to its knees to becoming the refined base for today's craft cocktails. From the squalid gin shops of Hogarth's prints to the botanical complexity of modern distillation, explore how gin transformed from social menace to mixology staple.
Whether you're interested in crafting your own herb-forward cocktails or learning about the fascinating social history behind your favorite spirits, this episode serves up the perfect blend of recipe inspiration and historical intrigue.
