Ep. 63 – Shirley Temple, “I’m aging like a good cherry”

You’d think sampling a classic mocktail would make for a tame episode, but not on Gina’s birthday! The duo sample five(!) different versions of the Shirley Temple, including a few of the dirty variety, before trying some fancy cherries and getting into a much needed bidet update.

Ep. 61 – Non-Alcoholic Dark & Stormy, “Poky Annie & Poky Arnie”

Gina and Paul ease into 2023 with a mocktail, using Lyre’s Spiced Cane Spirit in a non-alcoholic version of a dark & stormy. The duo dig back into the ever-changing Canadian alcohol guidelines, new year’s resolutions and Gina’s got a message for annoying drivers.

Ep. 60 – Hot buttered rum, “Chili’s in the thingy-ding”

It’s a real doozy this Christmas, as Gina and Paul try another seasonal classic, hot buttered rum. They try a time-honoured recipe as well as the results of Paul’s experiments with fat washing. All this and Gina gives some holiday spending advice before they invent a new classic Christmas carol (be sure to stick around to the end for that). Merry Christmas!

Ep. 41 – Coquito, “Don’t be so boisterous when you’re doing the push”

It’s Christmas in lockdown! Gina and Paul do their best to be festive from afar while trying a delicious Coquito. Learn all about this festive Puerto Rican delight (just don’t call it eggnog) as the duo discuss how the pandemic is affecting the holidays and it becomes very obvious that Gina clearly doesn’t know what service Skip the Dishes actually offers.

Reading list:

Ep. 37 – AMF, “I just got a tingle where I haven’t tingled before”

It’s a doozy–in both length and alcohol content–as Gina and Paul make up for a few booze-free episodes by going all-in with the infamous AMF cocktail. Five different types of alcohol in one festive blue package! A real “wiffle-maker” as Gina would say, but can her son get her to say what the “F” stands for?

Ep. 22 – Dark & Stormy, “You put your peas back and away you go”

Surprises abound, as Gina and Paul check out Kinsip distillery’s Duck Island Rum by way of the classic Dark & Stormy cocktail. Gina’s also on a tear against poor grocery store etiquette in the latest installment of Toast & Roast.

Ep. 21 – Mojitos, “If they can’t handle the medium, buy a small”

Gina and Paul cheers to the end of summer with some refreshing mojitos. They also ponder the possibility of a very special–and presidential–guest (don’t hold your breath) before introducing a new segment that encourages Gina to toast something she’s happy about before roasting whatever has ticked her off lately.

Ep. 4 – Almond eggnog & Kavi Reserve coffee whiskey, “I always got stuck with the ball tree.”

Gina’s appetite for Christmas is only matched by her thirst for eggnog in this special, schedule-defying pre-holiday episode. She and Paul talk about snooping for gifts from Santa, proper tree decorating and other holiday traditions while sipping on stiff variations of rum & eggnog, including a special concoction of Kavi Reserve coffee whiskey and almond eggnog. Most importantly, how tall is your toilet?
