#58 Bacardi O
Not just Bacardi, but Bacardi O! Bacardi is one of the most influential rum brands and in this episode I trace how their innovations have been changing what people drank for over 100 years. This includes - for better or worse - being the first company to release a flavored rum. Bacardi O was not the first, but it's definitely the O-iest.

When it comes to cocktails, no place loves Benedictine so much as New Orleans. Which made legendary New Orleans bartender Chris Hannah the perfect person to meet up with to taste three tiny bottles - Benedictine from the 1960s, B&B from the 1970s, and B&B from the 1980s.

#56 Benedictine
Finally! After two bottles of B&B, I finally find a bottle of the real deal Benedictine. And it's a super cute one, most likely from the 1960s. I've already told its history (see episode #17) so in this episode I talk about some of the ways it's been used in cocktails for the last 100+ years.
