For those of you that have never heard of Boilo, here are a few words about it courtesy of a December 2019 Philadelphia Inquirer article: Boilo — often boiled in a large pot, hence the name — is modeled on a honeyed Lithuanian and Polish liqueur (krupnikas and […]
The last time we tiki’d with you was way back in the frosty winter of 2018 when the pineapples were chilling and the orchids were hibernating. Yes, it gets a tad frosty in Redondo Beach, Bub. That was for Tiki 101 at Hudson House. A crash course in […]
What happens when you combine an episode of Pretty Shiny Packaging with an episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table? Here’s the short answer… We first review a pretty shiny booze-centric product, then put it to use and review some booze. And now for the long answer… […]
