45:11

On this episode, we’re boldly going where no podcast has gone before... but first, Dan kicks things off with his hotly debated, no-holds-barred list of the Top 5 Drinking Cities of 2025 . Did your hometown make the cut? Is it time to move? Tune in and find out. Then, it's warp speed into whiskey as we beam up a special segment featuring two out-of-this-world Star Trek-inspired expressions—crafted through an intergalactic collaboration between Howard Jackowitz and Craig Spurrier of Spirits That Rock and our longtime friends at Barrell Craft Spirits . These limited-edition beauties are housed in bottles modeled after the legendary (and formerly illegal) Romulan Ale—and yes, they’re every bit as intriguing as they sound. And hey, if you want to try them yourself, Dan’s got a discount code for you (psst... it's ROMULAN), but you'll have to listen for the deets. Engage!

Dan is joined by actor Wyatt Russell and producer Rich Peete , who swing by Baby Blues BBQ in Venice Beach to talk about their fast-growing line of ready-to-drink cocktails, Lake Hour — a delicious tribute to summertime, friendship and carefree afternoons that often turn into epic nights. Wyatt dishes on what it was like growing up with Hollywood royalty Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn for parents, while Rich shares wild stories from their lakeside adventures that helped inspire the brand.

3-Minute Bartender: Clarified New York Sour 8:03

16 days ago8:03

8:03

On this episode of 3-Minute Bartender , we’re diving into the Clarified New York Sour, a cocktail that takes a beloved classic and gives it a polished, velvety upgrade. That’s right, it’s your old whiskey sour, if it went to finishing school, got a skincare routine, and started quoting David Sedaris at parties. We’ll walk through the milk clarification process step by step, demystifying what sounds like a science experiment but is actually a clever way to soften acidity and elevate texture. We’ll talk about the origins of the drink (hint: despite the name, it likely didn’t come from New York) and why floating red wine on top somehow works like magic. If you’re into drinks that look good, taste better, and leave your friends wondering how the hell you pulled it off, this one’s for you.

On this episode of What We’re Drinking , Dan kicks things off with another round of “It’s Driving Me to Drink,” unleashing a well-deserved rant about one of the most obnoxious TV commercials ever made (you’ve definitely seen it… and hated it). Then it’s Margarita Time with special guest Caroline Pardilla , the cocktail queen behind the brand-new book that’s all about the world’s most beloved tequila drink. And in "Drinks of the Week ," Dan dives into two standout bottles: Evil Bean Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur , a bold new entry into the espresso martini game, and Mezcal Mezul , a smooth, smoky gem that’s perfect for mezcal rookies and vets alike.

3-Minute Bartender: The Tipperary 7:08

7:08

On this episode of 3-Minute Bartender , we tip our caps, and our glasses, to the Tipperary , a criminally underrated Irish cocktail that deserves a standing ovation (or at least a respectful slow clap). Born in 1916 from the mind of Hugo Ensslin—yes, the same mad genius who gave us the Aviation—the original recipe called for equal parts Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, and green Chartreuse. But the version that really sings? Sean Muldoon’s riff from The Dead Rabbit, where a touch of syrup, bitters, and chilled water turn this boozy ballad into a perfectly balanced showstopper. It’s Ireland in a glass... no passport required.

Recorded live at the iconic Townhouse in Venice Beach in front of a sold-out crowd, this special episode of What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn features actor, environmentalist, and bourbon evangelist Ian Somerhalder — best known for his roles in Vampire Diaries and Lost . Ian joins Dan on stage to talk all things Brother’s Bond Bourbon , the wildly popular whiskey brand he co-founded with his Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley. From the joys and challenges of building a spirits brand, to behind-the-scenes tales from his time on two of the biggest shows of the 2000s, Ian brings sharp insight and signature charm. The conversation also dives into Ian’s deep commitment to environmental sustainability, and how bourbon, oddly enough, plays a role in his mission to save the planet. Hosted by comedian Jenn Sterger , with killer cocktails by Townhouse beverage director Dave Purcell , this episode is a perfect blend of booze, laughs, and Hollywood war stories—served neat.

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.

289. The New & Improved Liam Neeson Drinking Game 19:50

10 weeks ago19:50

19:50

In Dan’s time so far on this spinning hell rock, he’s uncovered two key coping mechanisms for dealing with life’s relentless, inexplicable bullshit: strong drink and Liam Neeson, ideally in tandem. There’s a comforting, almost medicinal predictability to a Liam Neeson movie, kind of like a well-loved bottle of whiskey. Give it a few hours, and you know you’ll be left feeling warm, slightly numb, and just the right amount of brain-dead. Which brings us to the 2025 installment of The Liam Neeson Drinking Game, a surefire way to enhance any viewing experience involving cinema’s most dependable man of vengeance. The premise is simple: whenever Neeson does those things he always does, you drink. The result? A journey into well-lubricated oblivion, fueled by whiskey and righteous retribution. Join us as we put this theory to the test, one measured threat and reckless decision at a time.

3-Minute Bartender: Pornstar Martini 6:57

Welcome to 3-Minute Bartender , the podcast for people who love cocktails but have the attention span of a goldfish on Red Bull. Today, we’re diving into the Pornstar Martini, a drink so scandalously named, it’s practically clickbait in a coupe glass. This passion fruit-fueled beauty was created in the early 2000s by Douglas Ankrah, a London bartender who clearly knew how to get a reaction. It’s a slick combo of vanilla vodka, passion fruit purée, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, and a shot of prosecco on the side—because apparently, this drink wasn’t already extra enough. We’ll break down how to make it, why you shouldn’t cheap out on ingredients, and whether you’re legally required to wink when ordering one. Spoiler: You are. So grab your shaker, practice your best smoldering stare, and let’s get shaking. Three minutes, one cocktail, zero regrets.

288. Questionable Booze Brand Names 22:07

22:07

This week, Dan takes a deep dive into the bizarre, the baffling, and the downright ridiculous world of alcohol branding. Ever perused a liquor store shelf and thought, “Who the hell greenlit that name?” Well, you’re not alone. Dan’s rounding up some of the most questionable monikers in booze history, including Fat Bastard Wine (perfect for your next passive-aggressive dinner party), Bishop’s Finger Beer (which sounds either deeply religious or wildly inappropriate), and Pucker —a liqueur that’s one letter away from being the most honest marketing campaign of all time. But that’s not all, folks! Back by popular demand, it’s the return of Drinks of the Week! That’s right, Dan cracks open some whiskey, uncorks some wine, and bravely tests a few canned cocktails so you don’t have to. Will he discover a hidden gem? Will he be deeply, deeply disappointed? Will he mispronounce a fancy French varietal and refuse to correct himself? Tune in and find out.

Recorded in front of a packed house at the legendary Townhouse in Venice Beach, this special live episode of What We’re Drinking features none other than Glenn Howerton —actor, writer, and the man responsible for making sociopathic narcissism look downright charming as Dennis Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Glenn joins Dan and co-host Brad Japhe to talk about Four Walls , the Irish-American whiskey brand he co-founded with his Sunny cohorts Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day. They sip, they reminisce, they dive into whiskey geekery, and of course, they talk Sunny —the show that refuses to age, much like a well-kept bottle of Irish. Glenn also shares insights into his other work, from A.P. Bio to BlackBerry, proving he’s got range well beyond the hallowed walls of Paddy’s Pub. The night, emceed by the golden-throated Mike Dawson, kicked off with comedian Jimmie Bradley warming up the crowd, and more importantly, raised funds for local animal rescue Deity —because nothing says "good people" like getting tipsy for a noble cause. Laughter, whiskey, and philanthropy? Just another night at What We’re Drinking.
