S2 E32 Novio's Radio | Ring My Bell Bob Cutler shakes things up on Cocktails with Friends by introducing the Bell Shaker, a handbell-shaped Prohibition-era cocktail shaker, and using it to craft a Passion Fruit Daiquiri. He discusses cocktail trends, including the Paper Plane as 2025's Drink of the Year and the Espresso Martini craze possibly linked to Sabrina Carpenter's hit song. Bob also helps break down the top 10 most popular cocktails in the U.S., with Margaritas taking the top spot. Bob encourages listeners to experiment with different base spirits, calls for future Paper Plane mixing in the studio, and invites listeners to call the Cocktails with Friends Hotline for drink-related questions. Key Topics The Bell Shaker: A throwback to Prohibition-era mixology with a unique design. Cocktail Trends: Why the Espresso Martini peaked in 2024 and what's next with the Paper Plane. Top 10 Cocktails in the U.S.: Breaking down the most popular drinks and what makes them iconic. Episode Index (0:45) – The Bell Shaker: A Prohibition-Era Inspired Bar Tool A cocktail shaker shaped like a handbell, both functional and decorative. Shakes and strains through the handle, making it a unique conversation starter. (3:30) – Mixing the Passion Fruit Daiquiri Ingredients: Dominican rum, Passoã passion fruit liqueur, simple syrup, lime juice. Shaken, not stirred—served in a coupe glass (or a plastic cup, if necessary). (10:12) – Cocktail Trends & The Paper Plane The Espresso Martini dominated 2024, fueled by pop culture references. The Paper Plane is forecasted as 2025's “it” cocktail—equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice. (16:40) – The Top 10 Best-Selling Cocktails in the U.S. Margaritas reign supreme, followed by Martinis, Mojitos, and Old Fashioneds. Negronis, Daiquiris, and Bloody Marys also make the list.
In this episode of our podcast, Kimberly and Tommaso offer insights that contrast with the often-misleading online travel information. They also share a few history-rich experiences in Rome, which eventually lead to the Tour di Negroni. Key Points: The Myth of the Perfect Itinerary: Many travelers aim to visit multiple attractions in a single day, overlooking travel logistics. We share our personal travel experiences and suggestions, but we are also honest about a few of the drawbacks of mass tourism. Online content often paints an unrealistic picture of what can be achieved in a day. Episode Highlight: “Tour di Negroni” Our month-long trip to eight destinations included tasting the iconic Italian Cocktail, the Negroni Throughout Italy, we sample various Negronis, each with unique styles and presentations. The History of the Negroni We delve into the history of the Negroni, which was invented in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni while he was in Florence. Memorable Stops and Culinary Breaks We take a brief hiatus from our Tour di Negroni while spending 10 days in the Dolomites and Copenhagen for Christmas. Reflections and Future Plans The journey concludes humorously, with a mention of returning four pounds lighter after our 35-day adventure. Looking ahead to next week's episode which is on the Tuscan village of Cortona. Join us in this episode as we uncover the true essence of traveling through Italy, providing a realistic and enriching perspective on what to expect and enjoy.

In this Cocktails with Friends Hotline Edition, Bob Cutler offers one listener (Eric with a "c") guidance on expanding his home bar, suggesting essentials like vermouths, orange liqueurs, Italian red bitters, and Giffard liqueurs, as well as mixers like fresh citrus and syrups. He highlights the importance of choosing personal favorites and including versatile bottles like coffee liqueur for trendy cocktails like espresso martinis. With practical advice to keep the process manageable, Bob emphasizes that building a home bar should be fun and stress-free. . EPISODE INDEX (2:25) Start with vermouths: dry for martinis and sweet for cocktails like Manhattans and Negronis. Buy smaller bottles to prevent spoilage. (3:35) Add orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau, Grand Marnier) for margaritas and other cocktails. (3:58) Choose an Italian red bitter, such as Campari or Aperol, for Negronis and spritzes. (4:41) Include Giffard liqueurs for unique flavors like strawberry or rhubarb to add flair to classic cocktails. (6:13) Personalize the bar with ingredients for a favorite cocktail, such as absinthe for a Sazerac or Amaro Nonino for a paper plane. KEY TOPICS Building a Versatile Home Bar – Essential spirits and liqueurs to create a variety of cocktails. Personalization – Adding unique ingredients for favorite or signature drinks. Practical Tips – Managing inventory, preventing waste, and experimenting with flavors. INSIGHTS Building a home bar doesn't require dozens of bottles—focus on versatile spirits, a few quality mixers, and personal favorites to start. Buying smaller quantities of ingredients like vermouth prevents spoilage and ensures freshness. Tools like fresh citrus and seasonal sweeteners like maple syrup can elevate simple cocktails into memorable drinks.

Two-thirds of the 3WHH crew were back home in the states for Thanksgiving, while Steve is still galavanting around coastal Italy, defiling the reputation of this podcast by drinking Negronis at happy hour—a tergiversation that this week's host, John Yoo, does not let pass without censure.In any case, by the miracle of Zoom we managed to assemble for a holiday weekend special edition, where Steve and Lucretia push back on the emerging narrative that Trump's election victory was so narrow that it doesn't deserve to be considered a landslide. On surface statistics, perhaps this has some merit, but even if this is conceded it should at least be considered an earthquake. Steve and Lucretia make the case, noting that, among other things, gthe media treated Bill Clinton's 43% of the vote in 1992 as a "mandate" for sweeping change, and that Trump's popular vote total is close to Ronald Reagan's in 1980, which was universally considered a landslide. The equally important question is whether this election portends a genuine political realignment—the elusive beast of political scientists. Some evidence suggests it might be, but realignments always require successive elections to confirm.We also spend some time pondering the prospects for the Musk-Ramaswamy DOGE (Dept. of Government Efficiency) project, and mull over the last few Trump cabinet picks.

We didn't think celeb breakups could get bigger than Maya and Stormzy, or Bennifer, but now Molly Mae and Tommy Fury have just proven that this very much is the year of the celeb breakup (and it's killing us!!). We try to understand why we're all taking it so personally, and assess the very icky rumours surrounding Tommy's recent trip to Macedonia as well as the friction between Molly's boss bitch success and the Fury's traditional values. We're also devo to report that our faves Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter may have joined the heartbreak train. Plus, Ellie gives us the verdict on Zoe Kravitz's buzzy directorial debut Blink Twice, a sinister horror film seemingly inspired by Jeffrey Epstein's ‘paedo island'.

Everyone's talking about ‘It Ends With Us' atm, huns, as some very bizarre things seem to be going down on the film's press tour, with rumours of a feud between stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Also this week, we recommend a fab new show about a woman who travels to parallel universes when she orgasms, Slip. We review ‘Babes', a pregnancy comedy that was touted as the ‘new Bridesmaids' (wtf?). And debrief on Hunter Schafer's Call Her Daddy Interview. Given her Euphoria update, we dissect the recent Hollywood Reporter investigation into what's really happening with the show and its controversial creator Sam Levinson.

Imagine working children's birthday parties every weekend for 1-8 year olds. Imagine doing said children's parties back to back to back to back EVERY weekend. Insane requests, playing characters, trying to corral children all day like you are gathering cattle, and singing the Happy birthday song over....and over....and over again. Well that is how I got my first job in NYC as an actor and THAT is how I trauma bonded and met these 3 women that are now some of my dearest friends. For this episode we welcome "DA CREW!!!!" onto this podcast to reconnect and share our stories together....while drinking some Negronis..... and more lol. Please welcome Amy, Casey, and Erin onto their first episode of Drinks On Dusty!! On this episode of Drinks on Dusty I connect with 3 wonderful ladies that I spent the majority of my weekends with for my first 3/4 years of NYC, all the way up to the brink of the pandemic. Thats right, only a pandemic could break us apart! Amy, Casey and Erin are all artists in their own right. All three are different, yet phenomenal musicians and signers. They sing opera, they sing country, they sing musicals and I.....can rap...kind of (depends who you ask) . We all formed this incredible team at the children's company we all worked for together and every weekend we would work events On Friday nights, all day Saturday and all day Sunday, and yes...we would always go out for drinks after. We shared some crazy stories and times together during those years, and all those stories created a bond and connection that still stays strong to this day. Even though we all took different career paths after the pandemic, we still remain incredibly close, and the powerful thing about that is how different each of us truly are. Yet the bond stays just as strong because we accept each others differences and embrace them. They are all three incredible women that I am honored to have this friendship and connection with. The topics in this episode vary from game nights to make Dusty look stupid, how we go through running children's events, upcoming weddings, and why this bond continues to last. Plus...much more :) So grab your favorite drink and see how Da Crews connection is as strong as ever!! Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow!!! Cheers!

In this business, the biggest leaps don't come from adding bells and whistles to our approach. They come from stripping what we do down to the clearest, most actionable and exceptional basics. Going an inch wide and a mile deep produces more profound results than going a mile wide, an inch deep. When you really think about it, we spend 10% of our time in the business behind the camera. What moves the needle is what we do with that 90%. There's hundreds of things we could be doing. Success comes from distilling the process down and focusing on the pieces that matter. Why are relationships and refining the client experience so crucial to our success? How do we separate what truly moves the needle from the bells and whistles? Why do we turn vendor relationships into a collaborative body that serves the client? In this episode, we're joined by destination wedding photographer and hospitality coach, Steph Kadlicko. She shares what she attributes her big leaps in business to - simplicity. Guest Bio Forever guided by old-world Europe, Steph is a destination wedding photographer and hospitality consultant inspired by artful living. Hospitality, deep connection, and creating spaces of beauty make up who she is and how she serves. Her work has been featured in international publications and is distinguished by its composition and color. A traveler, lover of neutrals (and Negronis), Steph captures delightful moments to satisfy the present and timeless moments longed for in decades ahead. In her coaching, Steph works with creatives on building their brand strategy for a converting client experience.

Welcome to the latest episode of the podcast. I'm excited to be here today with an interview with John McCarthy and Carey Jones. John, a mixologist by trade, and Carey, a food and spirits writer, have been crafting cocktails together for many years. They were the co-authors of the "Liquor Cabinet Roulette" series on Food & Wine's website and are the authors of Be Your Own Bartender and the newly released book Every Cocktail Has a Twist. In this book, you will learn all about tools, tips, tricks, and recipes to reconfigure 25 timeless tipples, from Bloody Marys, Daiquirís, and Manhattans to Margaritas, Negronis, and old-fashioneds Whether you're a new enthusiast or a seasoned expert, these original riffs will transform your go-to drinks. Today on the show we talk about how writing a weekly column for Food & Wine provided the writing practice and recipe foundation for their books, a discussion about cocktails and how to approach this topic as a home bartender, tips and tricks for making drinks such as Blender Eggnog, No-Muddle Mint Juleps, and Pitcher Pimm's, and party-sized quantities of a cocktail, and finish with their tips for aspiring writers/authors and their favorite beverage books. Before we dive into the show, Traditional publishers get a bad rap in a lot of writing circles. I hear them described as profit-seeking enemies who are out to steal our ideas or, worse yet, our souls. I have loved all of my publishers. They were partners in helping me create beautiful books so that I could share my recipes and stories with the world. And the team of editors, designers, layout experts, printers, photographers, indexers, marketers, and distributors they paid was amazing too. With traditional publishing, we, as cookbook writers, provide the recipes and stories, and publishers work the book magic. We become a cookbook concept machine, writing and cranking out book concepts and manuscripts, and our publishers create the books. If you want to learn more about publishing in this way, where you get published without spending any of your own money to edit, design, print, or distribute the book, head over to www.cookbookwritersacademy.com/free to learn more. So, without further delay, let's dive into the interview with John and Carey.
