The Old-Fashioned Download
100 episodes ago back in 2008, two enterprising and underutilized radio minds launched a groundbreaking new show. Their subject: dinner parties. Their mission: to win them. Hear about cupcake wars, how the DPD caused the recession, and the rest of the (tall) tale… then download this custom cocktail:
“The Old-Fashioned Download,” as whipped up by longtime DPD contributor Daniel Hyatt at The Alembic Bar in San Francisco:
- 1 Twinkie
- Angostura bitters
- 6 oz. bourbon
- Lemon peel garnish
- Candle (not for eating)
Place Twinkie in a bowl. Douse liberally with bitters. Add bourbon. Garnish with lemon peel. Do or don’t stick a candle in the middle. Eat with a spoon, savoring the fact that it is not a cupcake. Serves 3.
