Recorded on-location at the culinary wonderland that is Hatchet Hall in Culver City, this episode is part tasting session, part expert masterclass, and all vibe. Dan and Brad dive glass-first into a lineup of warm-weather winners, including the smooth elegance of Suntory Whisky Toki, the rich American classic Michter’s US*1 Bourbon, the magic of Don Fulano Tequila, the crisp surprise of Fonseca Siroco White Port, the zesty botanicals of Condesa Prickly Pear & Orange Blossom Gin, and the agave powerhouse Tequila Fortaleza.Expect big flavors, big opinions, and more than a few laughs as Dan and Brad wax poetic about what makes each of these spirits a front-runner for cocktail dominance this summer.
