For a wine nerd now becoming a cocktail nerd I love this podcast! The deep dive and whole hour spent on a particular cocktail and it’s ingredients with amazingly knowledgeable bartenders is utterly fascinating!

I’ve been bartending since 2007/2008 so the majority of my career was not in the post cocktail renaissance period. When we wanted to know an origin story we relied on the telephone game talk tails that our coworkers told us. This is no longer the case with true cocktail historians such as David...Read full review »

I love the deep dive on a single cocktail. My favorites tend to be the ones with female interviews. They seem to go bigger on the fundamentals than the guys, although I do say ‘bozo’ a whole lot now because of this podcast!

This in-depth and thoughtful podcast is just what I need. Getting lost in a deep dive with great personalities. Thanks Tim.

…but what happened to the transcribed version on Vinepair? I liked being able to go back and read up on some things and it’s easier in text than scrolling through the podcast.

For anyone looking to brush up on their bartending skills and perhaps learn some history and trade secrets along the way, look no further. Tim goes the distance on every episode to get the full story on a different cocktail, from backstory to modern adaptations and techniques, with some of the...Read full review »

My wife and I enjoy tuning in with Tim and his guests every Friday evening while we fix ourselves cocktails after work and preheat our pizza stone to make pizza. Highly recommend for anybody interested in making or drinking cocktails, or just generally interested in the booze business.

As a bartender who has recently shifted focus towards the world of craft cocktails, this show has been incredibly helpful. Deep dives on ingredients, techniques, history, and cultural context on top of reliably delicious recipes to recreate or draw inspiration from. Also, it’s so enjoyable! Tim...Read full review »

I discovered you only recently but I am totally obsessed! Now I’m listening to every episode from the very beginning! Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into supporting the industry and all the valuable education!
Cocktail.Vision via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/23
I’ve been listening since the beginning and can’t say enough about this podcast. If you want to learn - really learn - about cocktails, this is your one-stop shop. Engaging, not pedantic, and packed with information.
L Rothschild via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/23
Absolutely love this podcast and look forward to new episodes every week. It’s educational and entertaining - a great deep-dive for those wanting to “geek out” on all things cocktail related. Congrats on 100 episodes!

A great podcast for the aspiring bartender!

The white Negroni episode was hard to get through. If you had a drinking game where they said “like” after every thought you wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes. Brutal. Usually like the podcast, but this episode was painful.
jraposa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/23
I use this podcast for every drink I make at home. This is a cookbook you can listen to. Amazing history lesson in drinks and the best drink recipes you can find. I constantly go back to old episodes and save the show notes! Absolutely great podcast.
Goodcopdadcop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/23
Brilliant pod for friends of serious drinks!
BarflyCGN via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/17/23
…the variety of guests who share their passion and knowledge. I’ve been listening for about 4 months and am a novice cocktail guy. I’ve transferred my IPA budget and have grown my liquor cabinet to the point that I can actually practice a good number of beverages presented by this podcast. Tim...Read full review »

The best cocktail podcast! Tim, Keep up your excellence! Thank you!
AMAZingAmazing007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
Everybody knows a good podcast takes much more than just a good topic, it takes a great host. Tim McCurdy is fantastic. He makes every subject Hey dude well well interesting, and lets every guest shine.
Medn4me via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
Great conversation. Good flow. Such great information. And it’s not dry like so many food and bev podcasts tend to be.
shitisplatanos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
First of all, Tim does an incredible job driving conversation and interviewing all of the guests. I love the diversity of bartenders interviewed. There is something special about listening to people dive into topics deeply rooted in their identity. So many aspects of crafting drinks go overlooked...Read full review »

Great info and pace. Just wish the audio was more balanced so 4.9 stars. Love the detail about drinks and the industry as an aspiring home bartender.
Mg427 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
Tim is the best interviewer. Love that they aren’t afraid to get nerdy on cocktails. My favorite podcast from a guy that listens to more than ten podcasts every week.
remy+gus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/22
good times all around at cocktail college.
3ir8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
If you’re a cocktail enthusiast you’ll love this podcast. I look forward to the weekly episode drop on Thursdays and listen immediately.
Jake Che via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/22
I look forward to every episode, and the cocktails I make at home for myself and my husband are top notch because of my interaction with this podcast. Hearing the origin stories and the specific directions on the making of these cocktails every week cannot be missed.
loribeeh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/22
Great host, great guests, strong format. I love the personal opinions and preferences that get shared here, and the history of the cocktails, both ancient and recent. I binged half a dozen the day I found the podcast and can’t wait to listen through the whole catalog.
Chimp86756453 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/22
My favorite spirits & cocktails podcast. Great structure. Look forward to it every week.
Ti' Ponch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
Great podcasts. Look forward to each one. Have you investigated using acid phosphate in cocktails? Also, I’d like to see you do a show on the Singapore Sling.
echo###### via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
This is an incredibly engaging and educational and entertaining look at the history of cocktail culture with great interviews with the best mixologists of our time. Tim is the best!

I am the owner of a new cocktail bar in Uruapan Michoacan, because of some issues I have gone from being owner to being the head bartender, I have no previous training of being a bartender however I do have some knowledge on cocktails, this has helped me to sort of learn at a faster rate, however...Read full review »

I recommend this podcast to friends, family and colleagues all the time!! Such a great dissection of some of the best cocktails around—thank you!
loyaj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/22
The show is informative and entertaining. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the longest intro of all time. Skip the first 3-4 minutes and you’ll be glad you did.
wlsonb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/22
I love the detail, history and personal touch this show brings to making a cocktail the right way. It’s fun and I’m learning.
Smudlys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/22
Imagine Malcolm Gladwell doing a podcast with Bartenders and you will have Cocktail College. Well produced and easy to listen to, you get a chance to hear the thoughts of the professionals of their craft. Highly recommended!
jahamelink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/22
This is amazing and I hope he makes 300,000 episodes
Blake Livingston Hodges via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/22
Love this podcast even though in the Paloma episode they said Paloma is Spanish for butterfly and it is not. Paloma is Spanish for Dove and Butterfly is Mariposa. It’s ok Gringos I forgive you. FANTASTIC podcast though! Keep it up and check your facts!
LeDiMonriva via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/22
It’s an interesting concept. Talk to a respected bartender about a classic cocktail they love. Depending on the personality of the guest it can sometimes be wonderful at other times a bit laborious, especially if they think too highly of themselves! It’s nice the recipes are given at the end.
coventry blaze via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/09/22
As an very amateur home bar tender but highly experienced ‘barfly’ I find this podcast highly informative and incredibly entertaining.
