A Certain Age The Untold Story of Women in Cocktails + Perfect Summer Drink Recipes with Nicola Nice of The Cocktail Parlor
If you like uncorking the perfect drink or learning the hidden stories of women too often written out of history, this week’s show is for you. Meet Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist, spirits entrepreneur, and author of The Cocktail Parlor: How Women Brought The Cocktail Home. Nicola shakes up and sets straight the (overwhelmingly male) record of drinks writing, uncovering the fascinating intersection of history, feminism, and drinks and cocktail culture. Yes, we get into how to pour the perfect Paloma, but we also explore temperance, sobriety, the subversive history of women and tea, and so much more. Bonus: learn to stock the perfect home bar, must-have glassware, zero-proof mocktails, and dry cocktail books for non-drinkers. Bottoms up!
