Episode 1- You...but in a good way!
The one where you find out how Gina’s old-fashioned childhood has influenced her professional style.
Welcome to our podcast! Always Never Right is a podcast for Gen Xers entering middle age who want to know, what the f*ck? Gillian Farrell and Gina Biggs have been slogging through with various levels of success. This is very much an introductory episode, so you can begin to get to know us. And since it's our first, it's messy. But that's us, so have fun!
Fair warning, we swear. A lot.
We have cocktails while we chat about where the hell we are in life. If you'd like to make this week's cocktail - the Old Fashioned - and drink along with us, we'd love that!
The Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a cocktail generally made by mixing sugar with bitters, then whiskey (usually rye) and finally a twist of citrus rind. Sometimes people will use brandy instead of whiskey. Usually you serve it in a rocks or tumbler glass which is also sometimes called an Old Fashioned glass, after the drink. We take a slightly less traditional approach, and also take the easy road. Using the amazing Barsmith Old Fashioned Cocktail mixer (not a sponsor but feel free to call us!), my favorite rye whiskey, and a squeeze of orange along with our citrus rind. Sometimes a splash of water will help ‘open the nose’ of the whiskey as well and give it that extra amazingness.
