Possibly Authentic Grog and The Wellerman

I set out to find the perfect Manhattan by making 42 of them. In an earlier episode, the Vesper Martini specifically, I mused about the idea of a drink matrix: taking two variables, plotting them on an X and Y axis and running through them all. It seemed like a fun idea, and I asked twitter what I should start with, and the most common answer was a Manhattan. Seven ryes crossed by six vermouths yield forty two drinks, which got me into a bit of trouble as you'll see in this episode. But I also think this is super interesting and really informative, and there's some real surprises here too.

Angostura Bitters are a well known bar essential, in addition to tons of drinks calling for dashes and drops of that deep red nectar of the gods, the very definition of the word "cocktail" sort of requires their inclusion. With that established, are there drinks that call for larger amounts of Angostura Bitters as a central foundational component? In fact there are, and this episode is about three of them.

It's the time of year for holiday parties which means it's the time of year for egg nog. While I prefer my home made nog (recipe below), I thought it would be helpful to try out as many store bought egg nogs as I could find so I can let you know which ones are worth buying.
