Let's Drink About It

Lizzie Bartelt, Chris Bowman and Benjamin Ahr Harrison•www.letsdrinkabout.it

Let's Drink About It is a podcast that asks the question, what is the correct beverage to pair with any given moment in your life? Each week, hosts Chris and Ben sit down to discuss the events of their lives and which cocktails to pair with those events. We'll learn about cocktails, the theory and history of the mixed drink, and maybe even a little something about ourselves.
