The mic gets passed in this episode. You (well some of you) behind the bar have been making, selling and drinking The Blackbird, but aren't quite sure what it is you're serving, or at least have gotten the name wrong. This episode exists to show that sometimes something can be so catchy that the substance gets misconstrued. Over the course of about 2 years Josh asked dozens of bartenders about The Blackbird and got a wild variety of answers. If you hear your voice in this episode, please don't feel weird about it though. In the dozens of interviews done, exactly zero people answered all the questions correctly. This is a great way to see what you might have already know and what you can learn about how drinks evolve over time.
Thanks to all of the bartenders who we subjected to being interviewed for this episode.
Thanks also to Wild Turkey and Amaro Montenegro for their support.
