291. Dr. Nicola Nice, author, "The Cocktail Parlor"

In this special episode of What We’re Drinking, Dan Dunn raises a glass to Women’s History Month with Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist, spirits industry trailblazer, and author of The Cocktail Parlor. They discuss the overlooked role of women in cocktail culture, the evolution of home bartending, and the importance of representation in the drinks world.

Also on the show, Dan takes a humorous dive into the world of overly upbeat headlines, spinning some truly ridiculous PR-friendly takes on bad news. And in the "Drinks of the Week" segment, he reviews the new 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey from Jack Daniel’s, breaking down its bold flavors and high-proof punch. It’s a lively, insightful, and whiskey-fueled episode you won’t want to miss.
