The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle

The CEO of Spritz Season and Tik Tok's top mixologist, Julianna McIntosh (@Join_Jules) teams up with cocktail history buff and unknown home bartending guru, Uncle Brad (@cigarsNvino) to bring you The Art of Drinking: With Join_Jules And Your Favorite Uncle. A podcast for the cocktail enthusiast, aspiring mixologist, or kinda o.k. home bartender with big plans… or no plans.Each week you will learn how to make 2 drinks; a classic made “the right way” from your favorite uncle and a classic with a modern twist thanks to Join Jules. You will know exactly what you need to buy, and we promise there will be no secret or hard-to-make ingredients. We will also give you a few tips, to polish your home bartending game. Finally, because it's not enough to just make a great drink, you also need something interesting to say when you serve that drink. Uncle Brad is going to tell you a story about the history behind the cocktail or ingredients used. So, get ready to sip and enjoy your way into the weekend.

So good!!

I love learning about all of the drinks and history behind it. There have been so many interesting facts that I tell other people so it’s not boring history. Plus the drinks are delicious
powerlifterto-be

I wish I had an Uncle Brad!

But seriously, I've loved learning from Jules and Brad- they make cocktails interesting and more approachable to make. I've been listening for a week and I already feel like a significant more competent "home bartender" even though I just started. Looking forward to more podcasts and seasons!

Entertaining and Enlightening!

This is a great podcast! I loved the back and forth between uncle and niece! I also love the format of recipes and the history of each cocktail. I actually don’t drink alcohol, but I love me a mocktail and I loved learning more about each one!

A cornerstone of my pod rotation!

This podcast is the bomb - the format is great at weaving the informative in with the fun, and the drinks highlighted week to week follow the trends I’m seeing out in the world really well. I just started my first gig bartending this year, and I can’t get enough of this pod along the way! Also have to mention that both the hosts are charismatic, great speakers, and have a really sweet rapport.

Love

I don’t listen to many but really enjoy this one!!!

Entertainingly Informative

I fervently detest TikTok. OK, got that out of my system. That being said, Jules and her Favorite Uncle, Brad, are podcast worthy! Listen and learn how to craft classic cocktails, how and why the various ingredients go together, how and when to use ice/ice cubes, when to shake and when to stir. Jules and Brad present cocktail wisdom in an informative yet entertaining way.

Easy peasy and super breezy

I am not the best at making drinks and i feel like I’m on my way to being a pro! I feel by the end of season one I will be at least a brown belt in cocktail shakery
coolestpersonever96

Such a good listen

I love Jules from her tic tok + website, so when I heard she was releasing a podcast I knew it would be good. I ended up learning so much in the first episode from both Brad and Jules and I’m hooked. Please keep this up, absolutely love this podcast!!

Great and entertaining format!
StacyCouf

Love!!!

This is the most refreshing podcast out there, entertaining AND you learn a little something from your new “pro-drinking “ besties!! Everyone should grab a friend or two, pull up to their home bars, listen in and start mixing with JoinJules & Uncle Brad.

Cheers!

So much fun to learn with you both! I will be upping my cocktail game due to you both!

The cocktail podcast I’ve been waiting for!

I’ve been looking for a podcast to expand my cocktail knowledge & repertoire, this is it! The build a bar episode is one I know I will come back to again & again. Kudos,Jules and Brad! Fantastic podcast!
