Moscow Mule - Canned Cocktails
Wednesday Sep 13, 2023
Wednesday Sep 13, 2023
Which Moscow Mule is best? We start this episode by trying two different candy bars who have offered up a new cookie dough flavor (Milky Way and Twix). Later we get to the main attraction of trying out some premade Moscow mules in a can. When we tried ginger ales we were a little let down with the lack of ginger flavor, so can the Moscow mules provide the ginger punch we need? This week's contenders are Copper Can, Cutwater, and Mule.

Which Ginger Ale is best? This week we are finally getting to ginger ales. We've all seen the main players in this category, but our experience says they are a little weak on the ginger flavor. Instead we are trying out some of the pricier players in the game in hopes of getting more of that ginger. The contenders are Fever Tree, Q, Reed's and Zevia.

What Irish Whiskey is the best? This week we start out by trying a strange mixed drink called the Irish Cactus which combines Bailey's and Tequila. Then sticking with the theme we try out the three most popular Irish Whiskey's in the universe (my source only contained Earth information but I feel it's fair to extrapolate). The contenders are Jameson, Proper 12, and Tullamore Dew.

Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
What meat stick is the best? This week we revisit the meat stick category, but this time we try the more expensive options. Each of these products boasts about being some combination of natural, non-GMO, no added sugar etc. Today we will see if these labels actually change the flavor. More importantly we learn if the flavor is worth the increase in price. The contestants are Chef's Cut, Chomps, First Phorm, and New Primal.

What Toffee candy is the best? This week we will try out my nomination for the best chocolate candy bar on the market. The chocolate covered toffee candy bar feels less exciting than your Snickers and Milky Ways of the world. But what they lack in pizzazz, they make up for in flavor and texture. The contestants are Heath, Russell Stover's, and Skor.
