Drinks on Film - with Jordan Paley

This week, we're kicking off a month long special, taking a look at the intersection of drinking and cinema! And to start off, we've brought back the wonderful Jordan Paley to talk about cocktails that got a boost from appearing on film- whether by being introduced to an all new audience, or revitalizing a classic cocktail! Join us as we discuss the influence pop culture has on our drinking, and settle in for the show!
