3:17
Speaker 8: the booze that goes in here. They're distilling their making,
3:20
Speaker 8: so they're not outsourcing even the ingredients there as natural
3:23
Speaker 8: as they can get. They're making the formulas in house.
3:27
Speaker 3: Uh.
3:27
Speaker 8: This is a real taste to Utah Sugarhouse distilling grained
3:31
Speaker 8: to glass.

Speaker 3: Okay, and it's.
4:21
Speaker 7: It's a slightly different color.
4:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, that raspberry really comes through nice. Yeah mmm. I
4:29
Speaker 3: don't know what anybody else is doing this Friday morning,
4:31
Speaker 3: but my goodness, this is.
4:36
Speaker 8: So we have the white peach, We've got the bright
4:39
Speaker 8: citrus and the raspberry vodka lemonade. They make other Gang products,
4:45
Speaker 8: but these are just so fun. Great difference in just
4:50
Speaker 8: like the presentation, you know, the different color of the
4:53
Speaker 8: packaging and everything.
4:54
Speaker 3: But how easy is it is?
4:56
Speaker 8: Grab a four pack and you're good to go, or
4:58
Speaker 8: a couple series for the party.
5:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you want to mix a cocktail, but sometimes
5:04
Speaker 1: you just want I want it right now.
5:06
Speaker 7: I want a cocktail right now.
5:07
Speaker 8: If you have a house full of people, the last
5:09
Speaker 8: thing you want to do is, like you know, making
5:12
Speaker 8: three to nine drinks that are different and you're trying
5:16
Speaker 8: to host and everything. It just takes all the worry
5:19
Speaker 8: out of it. And they're quick chilling exactly.
5:21
Speaker 9: Whenever we do dinner or a party at our house,
5:24
Speaker 9: I always grab a handful of these. Nice they're just
5:26
Speaker 9: handy to Yeah. No, Sugarhouse does such a great job.
5:29
Speaker 9: They do, and they and we were just talking about
5:32
Speaker 9: this the other day. We had a group in and
5:33
Speaker 9: we were doing our Whiskey and history presentation. Sugarhouse is
5:36
Speaker 9: part of it, and I mentioned to people, I'm like,
5:38
Speaker 9: we've all gone out to dinner. We've heard of farm
5:41
Speaker 9: to table, that implication where you know, the farmers walk
5:44
Speaker 9: through the fields and seize the vegetables and the protus
5:47
Speaker 9: and everything, and this is grained glass, meaning the same thing.
5:52
Speaker 9: James Fowler in his team, they've walked these grain fields.
5:56
Speaker 9: They know the malting process, in the drying, the process,
6:00
Speaker 9: and then it's it's brought right in and it's that
6:03
Speaker 9: Utah all feel.
6:06
Speaker 3: Do they can it there as well?
6:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, they have a brand new canning line and they've
6:10
Speaker 8: even expanded there.
6:12
Speaker 3: The distilleries growing and well deserved.
6:15
Speaker 6: I don't think I've been there since they started, and
6:17
Speaker 6: it was it was very small right at the beginning.
6:20
Speaker 3: We should go, We should go to take a look
6:22
Speaker 3: at their barrel room is impressive.
6:27
Speaker 8: And they've got the front lobby area that's the package
6:30
Speaker 8: store rather not lobby, just the package store, and then
6:33
Speaker 8: you go in the back and you're in the body
6:34
Speaker 8: of it.
6:35
Speaker 3: I just love looking at the stills and you know, thinking.
6:38
Speaker 8: Through how it all works. And they'll take you on
6:40
Speaker 8: a tour. And they've expanded to a new canning line and.
6:44
Speaker 9: They got the raspberry whiskey sour which is also and
6:47
Speaker 9: the pineapple coconut. Just pull out one of those tiki
6:49
Speaker 9: glasses and take credit for it.
6:52
Speaker 6: You know.
6:53
Speaker 8: I like those are like a little not hidden secret,
6:58
Speaker 8: but like when I want to spoil my sell or
7:00
Speaker 8: something like, yeah, a little treat, something that a little
7:04
Speaker 8: treat those are tasty.
7:05
Speaker 3: The pineapple coconut. Here's a question. I seem to remember.
7:10
Speaker 6: Uh, it was not legal, and then they had they
7:13
Speaker 6: tweaked the law or something so that these could be
7:16
Speaker 6: You could go into a bar or a club and
7:20
Speaker 6: order a canned cocktail. That's right, So you can do that.
7:24
Speaker 8: Yes, that is now available in stares at bars and restaurants.
7:29
Speaker 3: The canned cocktail ready to drink.
7:31
Speaker 8: Before it was indicated as a distiller because there was
7:34
Speaker 8: alcohol in here. So since that was the case, you
7:36
Speaker 8: had to pour it into a jigger one point five ounce,
7:39
Speaker 8: which was ridiculous.
7:39
Speaker 3: But now we're changing.
7:41
Speaker 7: This is why he.

10:06
Speaker 4: that I might explore it a little bit more.
10:09
Speaker 7: I hear that all the time.
10:10
Speaker 10: I'm not a wine drinker, but yeah, they meet Jimmy
10:13
Speaker 10: and yeah, changes you know.
10:15
Speaker 8: I'm like the pike piper with the grape.
10:19
Speaker 4: That's true. And anyway, I just want to recommend if
10:22
Speaker 4: anybody ever gets a chance to do it, do it
10:25
Speaker 4: because he's so much fun, Like, yeah, you know, he
10:27
Speaker 4: can be a little not safe for work at those
10:30
Speaker 4: kind of things, so even more so than he is
10:32
Speaker 4: on the radio.
10:33
Speaker 3: Were you, Brandy? Were you?
10:35
Speaker 6: And this is something that somebody else held and you
10:38
Speaker 6: were invited to.
10:40
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that's correct.
10:43
Speaker 2: If you want to book one of those, how do
10:44
Speaker 2: they do it?
10:45
Speaker 3: Yeah?
10:45
Speaker 8: So with Brandy and I, what she attended was the
10:48
Speaker 8: in home Wine event. You can go to Winkee Utah
10:51
Speaker 8: dot com and we have a theme. We have a
10:53
Speaker 8: website of themes of packages that you can choose from,
10:57
Speaker 8: such as Splash of Spain to Revividly Californa Coastline, to
11:00
Speaker 8: name a few, and it's five wines. I brief all
11:04
Speaker 8: the tasting glasses, pretty collateral, and you have a somalia
11:09
Speaker 8: in the comfort of your own home.
11:11
Speaker 3: There you go.
11:11
Speaker 6: Now do you suggest things for the host to prepare?
11:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's as simple as you can have chopped apples,
11:20
Speaker 8: salted almonds, some sharp treaded cheese.
11:22
Speaker 3: But the host will.
11:24
Speaker 8: Have something afterwards and in this and that and or
11:27
Speaker 8: I've even been able to, for example, I have the
11:30
Speaker 8: French Countryside up in Park City this Saturday, and we're
11:34
Speaker 8: the hosts going to do more of a coursed out menu, so.
11:38
Speaker 3: That's more deliberate with pairing.
11:40
Speaker 8: They'll be sat at a large table and I'll be
11:43
Speaker 8: serving them table side.
11:45
Speaker 3: What did they do, Brandy, what did they do? At
11:48
Speaker 3: the event you were at.
11:51
Speaker 4: They did the apples, cheese and almonds, and then our
11:55
Speaker 4: host mixed Cincinnati chili. Is that what it was?
11:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the best ones. I'll tell you that.
12:01
Speaker 3: There you go, she knocked out.
12:03
Speaker 9: Thanks Brandy, thank you, thank you.
12:06
Speaker 10: All right, here's a text question, Jimmy, are there any
12:09
Speaker 10: canned cocktails that use sugar free mixes?
12:14
Speaker 8: Not that I'm aware, but a lot of them do
12:16
Speaker 8: lower the sugar content and others add some. So so
12:23
Speaker 8: I hear what you're saying. There is one can't cocktail.
12:25
Speaker 8: I'm not going to call them out. It's a national brand,
12:28
Speaker 8: but they are sweet. It's a Moscow mule and yeah,
12:34
Speaker 8: and that really has some rich flavor to it. But
12:38
Speaker 8: I hear what you're saying these I don't know the
12:41
Speaker 8: sugar content in these, but it is a good question
12:44
Speaker 8: to ask.
12:44
Speaker 7: And so maybe go down to the distiller.
12:47
Speaker 3: Go down to the siller exactly.
12:49
Speaker 8: And you know, even when you make your own cocktails
12:52
Speaker 8: using simple syrup and things like that, so it's nice
12:54
Speaker 8: that you can adjust that, say agave syrup or honey
12:57
Speaker 8: syrup or honeywater or.
12:59
Speaker 3: Something like that.
13:00
Speaker 6: And James would James, he'd be yeah, full disclosure.
13:06
Speaker 3: So I got to tell you, and I know there
13:07
Speaker 3: might be we can do a fasting.
13:08
Speaker 8: But guess who I met, Doctor Neil.
13:12
Speaker 10: He lives, he does, and he's the next he's in
13:16
Speaker 10: the chat room right now talking about you.
13:18
Speaker 3: He's a great guys.
13:19
Speaker 7: Talking about the event you went to.
13:21
Speaker 8: Event was a lot of fun and we have some
13:23
Speaker 8: young listeners out there. Tests and Tyler. I like to
13:26
Speaker 8: give a shout out to test. She was great and
13:28
Speaker 8: her folks very. You know they're thirsty up in Laighton.
13:35
Speaker 8: It was a good wine tasting event. Wine for lover.
13:37
Speaker 10: Let's see last week Jimmy mentioned a bottle of wine
13:40
Speaker 10: with steak and fries. I made it Saturday night. It
13:42
Speaker 10: made my heart happy. Thank you, jim nice.
13:45
Speaker 7: What was the raspberry canned cocktail? I missed it?
13:48
Speaker 3: Sugar House, Sugarhouse Raspberry brand, new packaging.
13:51
Speaker 10: So pick up go to your liquor store and pick
13:53
Speaker 10: up the Sugarhouse cocktail. Let's see any other questions. What
13:59
Speaker 10: what pairs with Cincinnati chili?
14:02
Speaker 3: Yeah?
14:03
Speaker 8: Something must yeah, you know, uh think of medium bodied.
14:09
Speaker 8: So whether it's a Penia or a Sancho Vasi, maybe
14:12
Speaker 8: something from Reoh with Spain.
14:14
Speaker 3: Something of that nature.
14:16
Speaker 8: You don't want to do like a big rich Caberny
14:18
Speaker 8: Sevinon or a You want to watch your alcohol level
14:20
Speaker 8: because there was some spice in there and it'll overly
14:23
Speaker 8: emphasize the alcohol. So you want something a little bit
14:25
Speaker 8: more medium body, medium alcohol, good tannic structure, but not
14:28
Speaker 8: too overwhelming.
14:30
Speaker 6: You know what Cincinnati chili is, right, It's chili mac.
14:33
Speaker 6: I mean it's chili on served over noodles, served.
14:37
Speaker 8: Over noodles, chopped onion, and cheese. Cheese. It's kind of
14:41
Speaker 8: an interesting take, but buddy of mind, Tommy Conover makes it.
14:45
Speaker 8: He's from that area and it's some really good stuff.
14:48
Speaker 8: I've also heard it called chili mac.
14:50
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now I have a question, okay, because.
14:53
Speaker 7: We were talking about orange juliuses.
14:55
Speaker 10: Oh yesterday, Okay, Sou found a recipe online is going
15:00
Speaker 10: to make some orange juliuses this weekend.
15:03
Speaker 7: But she said specifically we're doing it with milk.
15:06
Speaker 10: Okay, but she wanted to know what would be the
15:10
Speaker 10: best booze to add, and I'm thinking vodka.
15:14
Speaker 3: But well, vaka would be no, I'm with you.
15:16
Speaker 8: The first thing I thought it was vodka because it
15:18
Speaker 8: would be a neutral base it's not going to change
15:20
Speaker 8: anything too much.
15:22
Speaker 3: What would be fun?
15:23
Speaker 8: But you're already going to have the orange and you're
15:25
Speaker 8: already gonna be But I was thinking triple seck. There's
15:27
Speaker 8: this really nice French triple seck out there. It comes
15:30
Speaker 8: in a triangular like shaped bottle. The names escaping me
15:35
Speaker 8: right now. I can see it right on my shelf
15:37
Speaker 8: in the office, and so I have Sue reached out
15:40
Speaker 8: to me.
15:40
Speaker 3: I'll send her a picture of it. And that gives
15:42
Speaker 3: a nice expression.
15:44
Speaker 8: It's a brandy base, so you get this beautiful flavoring characteristic.
15:47
Speaker 6: What about what about isn't ben aedictine a orangeuse?
15:52
Speaker 3: Sort of yeah, very strong and bitter. I think it
15:55
Speaker 3: might bring.
15:55
Speaker 8: A little Yeah, it might be a little bit what
15:59
