Whiskey Bitches Brew (Video)
I recently got to chat with NYC-based band Whiskey Bitches about their new music, the many stories behind their tattoos and what it’s like to be a punk rock software engineer (full interview here at our sister site Mind Equals Blown). Their music represents all of the best parts of punk: they’re fun, they’re fast and they make you want to move around. Most importantly, their name and music have cheeky alcohol references (“Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, TEQUILA!“) so obviously we had to make some drinks with them, including a namesake blood orange whiskey cocktail.
The Whiskey Bitches Brew is spicy and fun just like the band. This blood orange whiskey cocktail fuses jalapeño with whiskey and blood orange soda, causing an initial bite followed by a nice sweetness. Not filmed: the 5-too-many cereal milk white russians we drank after. Live your best life.
