Simplicity at it’s finest. The Highball isn’t about complication or fancy glasses, crazy garnishes, or a boozy drink… it’s about taking a spirit, and making it more approachable. It’s a thing of beauty when done right – and an embarassment when done wrong.
What’s the story, though?
What makes a great Highball? Where did they come from? Where do you even start?
We’ll unpack it all on this episode – so make yourself a drink (2oz of any spirit, over ice, with four onces of soda water… it’s that simple) and let’s dive in!

Drinking Non-Alcoholic Beer!
Is the world of Non-Alcoholic beer actually improving at the speed that we think it is? Is it actually caught up to the point that the beer might actually be worth drinking in place of a “regular” beer? I have so many questions that I’ve been working to answer for myself. It’s time you joined with me, and we unpack this one piece at a time.
While this is definitely not comprehensive, nor is it the end of me talking about NA Beverages… It’s the start that we need to have happen!

Drinking Stoop Dayz!
It's hard to catch my attention these days with so many different products on shelves in our favorite stores… but Stoop Dayz managed to do that with their bright, clean hard soda brand. When I saw them sampling things out down at Oktoberfest, and saw the positive reactions from everyone trying it - I knew that I had to get them on the show!
On the episode we learn all about the brand, how it started, why it started, and what makes it unique compared to the other stuff that surrounds it.
Huge thanks to everyone at Stoop Dayz, and to Kelly Moran for taking some time out of her busy schedule to make it happen! I can't encourage you enough to snag some the next time your out at the store!
