Rocktails: An Amped up Spin on Mixology

Welcome to the sixth episode of The Scary Spirits Podcast Presents: Wicked Ramblings, an entertainment podcast that strives to answer the twisted questions currently burning a bright hole in your dark soul. On this episode our hosts are joined by Kristen Kreft and Maya Banatwala, authors of the book: “Rocktails: An Amped Up Spin on Mixology“. Tune in as our guests teach our hosts all about cocktails and concocting them!

Some of the topics covered and questions asked of our special guests this episode include:

  • Where did the idea for combining music with cocktail come from?
  • What exactly is “mixology”?

  • Have you ever done or considered doing a cocktail based on a movie soundtrack, for example the omen?
  • What is the basic formula for crafting your own cocktail?

  • Has there been a drink you thought would be meh, but was amazing?
  • Do you research your musical artists before making a drink?
  • How do you come up with the drink names?  
  • Bartending/cocktail crafting seems like a science as well as an art, do you see yourselves as both or do you each have a strength?
