The Liquid Gold gang finally tackle the original old-fashioned riff, a New Orleans classic called the Sazerac with Abby Walters from Standard Proof Whiskey in Nashville. They also discuss Abby’s dog business, “Furever Friends,” and give plenty of resources for anyone looking for a dog in Tennessee. Then Abby discusses the “Wicked Market,” happening on Halloween night at Love and Exile Bar, where the new Liquid Gold book “Cheer,” will debut. For Booze News, anchor Kenneth covers ZZ Top’s new whiskey, Metallica’s new cigar, two buck Chuck, and the nutritional value of Gordon Ramsay’s gin. Also discussed: Pumpkin-spiced whiskey sours, cocktail classes at Standard Proof, what makes a drink a “couch cocktail,” and the controversial “Saz-Tini” beverage. Bonus: a preview of the Zombie section in “Cheer: A Liquid Gold Holiday Drinking Guide.”
