Three Kitchens PodcastSPEAKEASY : Irish RedheadSend us a textThis week's Speakeasy episode was the last recording session on a fun New Year's Eve and, well, it shows. We drink an Irish Redhead cocktail made with bourbon, grenadine, lemon and lime juices, and soda. It's a brightly-coloured, sweeter bourbon drink and we quite enjoyed it. Conversation goes far off topic, as usual. For example, did you know Mark Twain was quoted as saying he thought red-haired people descended from cats? We also trade insults about each other's singing (don't worry, there is no actual singing in the episode). ...2023-01-2710 min
Three Kitchens PodcastSPEAKEASY : Whiskey One HundredSend us a textIt's our 100th Episode! To celebrate, Erin has served up a cocktail she's calling a Whiskey One Hundred.

We really loved this drink! And we want to thank you so very much for tuning in, whether you've listened to one episode or all 100 of them!
