Cocktail or category of cocktails? That's the big debate at Cocktail College today, as we welcome Amy Racine, the beverage director for JF Restaurants, to explore the Champagne Cocktail. The IBA classes today's drink as a “contemporary classic,” listing its ingredients as chilled Champagne, Cognac, Angostura bitters, a sugar cube, and — curiously — a few drops of Grand Marnier. That interesting final component aside, it would seem to confirm this as being a cocktail instead of a category. But as we'll soon get into with Amy, riffs abound and are easily achieved by switching up the base spirit and tweaking a few other ingredients. Listen on, or read below, to learn Amy's Champagne Cocktail recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Amy Racine's Champagne Cocktail Recipe Ingredients 1 brown sugar cube 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters 1 ½ ounces chilled VSOP Cognac 3 ounces chilled Champagne Garnish: orange and lemon peel Directions Add brown sugar cube to a chilled AP glass or flute. Soak cube with orange and Angostura bitters. Add Cognac and top with Champagne. Express and discard an orange and lemon twist.

We're joined by comedian and historian Nash Flynn, who had us laughing hysterically throughout this dark story about funeral rituals. She tells us how Victorian capitalism ruined funerals by magnifying social inequality even after death. We discuss poorhouses and the poor laws of 17th Century London before examining death rituals from the Victorian era in England and America. Nash Flynn is one of the two hosts of the Death and Friends podcast – a comedy show that deals with death and its relation to history, culture, and art. She also cohosts a new podcast called Tomorrow, Today with Andy of the Poor Proles Almanac. They interview researchers and academics about the shape of the future. In addition to these two podcasts, Nash runs several comedy shows, including KO and Cabin Fever. The latter is a nonprofit which raises money for Black Lives Matter. Nash obtained her masters in history after studying death-way trends through gravestone iconography and changes in burial rituals.

I had a great conversation with Francisco Tonarely, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Distillier LLC Grand Brulot, VSOP Cognac & Café Liqueur. Francisco knows the power of marketing, I found Francisco's story INSPIRING, POWERFUL & INSIGHTFUL. His latest venture Grand Brulo, is a BRILLIANT new product, and the story of the struggles and triumphs of creating it are a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit. As the first ultra-premium French VSOP Cognac 80 proof coffee spirit, made in France, Grand Brulot revives an over two-hundred year old French tradition where rich coffee was blended with Cognac to create an exquisite tasting drink: The Brulôt. As a result of the company's attention to detail and respect of French heritage, Grand Brulot has become a staple at some of the best restaurants in the US and globally, and has been featured in the New York Times, Haute Living, and Cigar Aficionado, as well as numerous websites devoted to the spirits and restaurants industries. While launching a brand is never easy, Francisoco shares his insight into how it's NEVER THE “RIGHT TIME” to do anything in life, you just have to go for it!Francisco is a seasoned professional with years of experience. He has learned many things over the years, especially about PERSONAL COMMITMENT AND PLAYING THE LONG GAME. He has been on both sides of the table, working in executive management and as an entrepreneur in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Francisco is passionate about the work he has done for all types of products from the consumer goods industry, with a focus on specialty foods and spirits. Notably, he served as a US Consultant for MEC3, a global leader in the production of ingredients for gelato and pastries, Francisco has also held numerous high-level management positions with other industry-leading companies, including Stock Spirits Group USA, Seagram Spirits and Wine Group, Bacardi International and Brand Equity Partners Inc.Connect with Matt Rosenthal: LinkedIn: /matt-rosenthal-mindcore/ - Instagram: @mattrosenthal_ Connect with Francisco Tonarely: grandbrulot.comInstagram: @grandbrulot
