We were founded in 2020 to prove the year wasn’t a total waste and history is better with a drink. The show is the culmination of two of our founder’s greatest passions: mixology and history.
Ever since the time he accidentally got drunk at a wedding when he was six, Gabe’s been a fan of drinks. (Note to parents: keep an eye on the champagne fountain). As a kid, he was known to create different sugary concoctions by combining random sodas at fast food restaurants and then force feeding (drinking?) them to his family. Most of them they, well… hated. But every once in a while, he’d find something palatable. Once he turned 21, that passion could finally graduate to the level of his six year-old daydreams.
Best part? The recipes he creates we get to share with you, all while talking your ears off about the historic stories that inspired them. So sit back and relax, and join us on a journey through the greatest stories of humanity’s long past, one delicious drink at a time.
We respect your privacy and will never spam you. Historian’s honor.
