Thanks so much to Matt Zion from Wreckless Eating for recommending the show and suggesting that people subscribe. Welcome to all the new subscribers! We’ve got a new season of the show starting tomorrow, with episodes we filmed live at the Chicago Women’s Funny Festival.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 105 - Absolut Chicago.
Absolut Vodka has a series of flavored vodkas named for cities and Jen and Erica are trying our hometown’s namesake, Absolut Chicago.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 102 - Letherbee Fernet.
Jen and Erica are sampling a fernet, an herbal liqueur from Chicago distiller Letherbee.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 93 - Cocktail Time - Polar Vortex.
A Negroni is a classic cocktail that consists of equal parts gin, vermouth, and Campari. Jen and Erica take three of the spirits they tasted this season—Bols Genever, Amaro Meletti, and Letherbee Malort (now Bësk)—to create a variation of the Negroni that they’re calling a Polar Vortex, in honor of Chicago’s extra cold winter this year.
This is the last show of the season. We’re going to take a short hiatus while Jen and Erica work on some other projects, but we’ll be back before you know it.
Episode 92 - Letherbee Malort/Besk.
Jen and Erica are trying Letherbee Malort, a variation of the Chicago classic wormwood bitter liqueur. In the time since we filmed this episode, Letherbee has renamed it “Bësk”, evidently in response to a trademark claim by Jeppson’s Malort. Letherbee’s version was developed by The Violet Hour’s R. Franklin.
