During our conversation we chat about many places in Seattle to enjoy a well crafted cocktail. Amy shared that Seattle is becoming known as a city known for Rum. Fun fact: the first Trader Vic’s franchise was in Seattle. Learn about this and other interesting factoids about bars, and beverages.

Seattle Cocktail Week will be held February 27 through March 6, 2022. This week long event celebrates Seattle’s cocktail scene. The week’s grand tasting event Cocktail District will have over 200 different spirits to try. Over 5,000 people are expected.

Dead Men of Whiskey. Now, that is a great title for a podcast. We are so jealous! Amy and friends bring us the story of the men (and women) that are behind some of the most famous Whiskey brands in the world. Find out how Amy got started with the podcast and more.

Amy started a hobby blog in 2011 called Make Them Wobble….a site devoted to Jell-o-Shots….well actually gelatin shots. The tag line boozy adventures in gelatin gives you all the details. Amy shares how she created Drinksgiving and many other wobble shots.
