Drunk Monkeys - Episode 56 - Loopy.
Live from the 2013 Chicago Sketch Fest at Stage 773, Jen and Erica are trying Loopy, a “tropical-fruit” flavored vodka from Three Olives that bears more than a passing resemblance to Fruit Loops cereal.

Season 8 of Drunk Monkeys was taped in front of a live studio audience. We’ve got four episodes filmed at Stage 773 during Chicago Sketch Fest and then two from a special evening we had at Watershed. In this first episode, Jen and Erica are drinking Dude Lemon-Lime Flavored Vodka from Three Olives.

Drunk Monkeys - Episode 53 - Cocktail Time - Loaded Baked Potato.
What we call a “season” of this show is filmed all in one night and just released as separate episodes. So if I say that this is the last episode of Season 7, our longest season yet, perhaps then you’ll know why Jen and Erica seem so… tired. A constant quest of the show is to find a way to drink the more savory liquors without just masking them in a Bloody Mary. In this episode, Jen is concocting something she calls a Loaded Baked Potato, using both Bakon (ep29) and Naked Jay Big Dill pickle (ep42) vodkas.
It’s the end of Season 7, but we’ll be back next week right on schedule with the start of Season 8. Season 8 will feature episodes filmed during our live appearances at Chicago Sketch Fest and at Watershed back in January.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 52 - Cocktail Time - The Dillinger.
In a Twitter conversation, Naked Jay Vodka suggested combining their Naked Jay Bill Dill pickle vodka (which you may remember from episode 42) with ginger ale for a drink they call the Dillinger. (Get it?) Jen and Erica give it a try.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 51 - ZU Bison Grass Vodka.
Jen and Erica are drinking ZU (short for Å»ubrówka) Vodka, a bison grass flavored vodka from Poland. It’s a fascinating story of how the liquor was banned from import into the US and how ZU worked around it.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 45 - Alaska Distillery Birch Syrup Vodka.
Full disclosure: we’ve been gifted bottles of liquor to drink on the show by friends before, but this is the first time that a distillery has sent us something to review. This episode, Jen and Erica are drinking Birch Syrup Flavored Vodka, from Alaska Distillery, the makers of Salmon Vodka.

Drunk Monkeys - Episode 37 - Pinnacle Gummy.
The ladies start out the new season with an old friend: Pinnacle flavored vodka. This week the flavor is “Gummy”, with a picture of a fish which looks suspiciously like a Swedish Fish.

Drunk Monkeys - Episode 35 - Alaska Distillery Salmon Vodka (Live!).
It's the second review from Jen and Erica's live appearance at the Chicago Women's Funny Festival: Alaska Distillery Salmon Vodka. We're going to be taking a little hiatus now, steeling our livers for another taping of the Drunk Monkeys show. Follow us on Twitter (@drunkmonkeyshow) or subscribe in iTunes to find out when new episodes appear.
Erica's shirt: Drink Coffee, Drink Whiskey.
The Bakon Vodka episode we keep talking about.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 29 - Bakon Vodka.
Jen and Erica try Bakon, the bacon flavored vodka. A Michelada, which Erica mentions, is beer, lime juice, and tomato juice. We like to substitute bloody mary mix for the tomato juice, for a bit of a kick.
Don't forget that this upcoming Wednesday is the first live Drunk Monkeys episode-taping, as part of the Chicago Women's Funny Festival. The show will be on Wednesday, June 6th at 10pm at Stage 773. Tickets to the show are $12 and available online at www.stage773.com and at the Stage 773 box office at 1225 W. Belmont Ave. If you can't make the show, the episodes will eventually be released online here, but c'mon!
Jen and Erica are taking suggestions for liquors to try at drinks@drunkmonkeyshow.com and on Twitter at @drunkmonkeyshow.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 28 - Pinnacle Cake Vodka
Jen and Erica had such a great time with Pinnacle's Cookie Dough Vodka that they just had to try Cake Vodka. Especially since Rebecca gave them a bottle.Drunk Monkeys - Episode 18 - Pinnacle Cookie Dough Vodka
Jen and Erica dive into the world of candy-flavored vodkas with Pinnacle Cookie Dough Vodka.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 9 - 360 Double Chocolate Vodka.
Undeterred by their somewhat rocky tasting of 360 Cola Vodka last season, Jen and Erica are trying 360 Double Chocolate Vodka.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 5 - Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
Jen and Erica are drinking Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka.
Drunk Monkeys - Episode 2 - 360 Cola Vodka
This week Jen and Erica are drinking Cola Vodka from 360 Vodka.
It's true--the bottle was $20 and there was a $10 mail-in rebate, so I effectively only paid $10 for it. You can judge from the video whether it was worth that.
