  • 033. Cocktail Conversations: The Aviation and Negroni
    Jun 23 2025

    Send us a text

    We’re kicking off Cocktail Conversations on the podcast!

    We’re exploring the origins, deliciousness, and nuances of two classic cocktails: the Aviation and the Negroni.

    We start with Tara’s favorite gin-based drink, the Aviation, detailing its Prohibition-era roots that will give you all the 1920’s feels. Then, we dig into John’s Italian favorite, the Negroni, tracing its origins back to one of our most favorite cities: Florence (in 1919, more specifically).

    We’re also continuing our Keep, Swap, Trash game going from last week with a fun twist in this episode. This is both a fun (and slightly nerdy) listen for those who love all things cocktails.
