This week's cocktail may be a tongue twister but it went down so easy...too easy you might say!Which was good because we were finally reunited in person!! If that means our audio is a little off it is because we were back in Caoimhe's kitchen!

An Irish twist on an Espresso Martini that had us up all night...just like the subject of our show this week: werewolves! Brew Moon, get it? Yea, we can't stop singing the song either !We turned our attention to one of this island's longest sta
We know...ominous...but Season 2 continues and it's our first location based episode! We headed to the Garden County to delve into one of the most  haunted buildings in Ireland - Wicklow Gaol. First built in 1702, we tracked how the gaol functi

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (Lá Fheile Pádraig sona dhaoibh!) from our resident historian, Laura Fitzachary - though this mini-sode is more mythological than historical. Regaling you all with an origin story of St. Patrick's banished snakes and an
This episode was called Petronilla's Garden and it was our Season 1 finale!!! Focusing on the witch trials in Ireland (or lack there of) the cocktail that wrapped the season was inspired by the fate of Irish women accused of witchcraft! Brewed
The episode was called 'The Ragged Boy' and was inspired by  the stories within what could be our scariest episode yet! Happy...Lent?! From a boy who repeats the last moments before his death over and over to the ghost of a girl you can feel sk

This episode was called the Dark N' Stormy - so exactly like what the cocktail is actually called, but it just fit so perfectly with our theme: shipwrecks and their ghosts. One night after watching the movie The Fog  it got us a wondering, sure
This episode we got well....sexy! When you think vampire, you may think, Tom Cruise or Robert Pattinson but we would  argue that vampires are inherently - Irish. We take what we call the dearg-diúlaí or 'red-blood drinkers' of Irish lore and  l
