Lit & Liquor
by Lit & Liquor
On a rainy day after losing at pub trivia for the 874th time (we still know you cheated, Cave Dwellers), three friends with a mutual love for literature and liquor decided to quit while they were behind and start a podcast instead.
Welcome to Lit & Liquor, where the only pretentious thing is our profile picture. We love our books and we love our booze and see no reason not to enjoy them together, recording for y'all's enjoyment.
We cover every book genre there is, from our romance novel face off's to book-to-movie adaption to nonfiction to fantasy to classics. We pair these with wine, beer, craft cocktails, and shots, doing all the dangerous tasting work so you don't have to suffer yourself.
We hope to impart laughs, tasty drinks, horrible drinks (we all have revenge to serve...), and perhaps a little bit of wisdom.
Join us bi-weekly for new episodes, and if you enjoy us--or don't--please leave us a review.

Episodes
The Shots Heard Round the World S3E11
2h 9m · PublishedInstead, we chose an anthology with an interesting concept: the theme was dystopian, but every single story had to end with the same phrase: "From now on, I'll save myself." Thus the name, "From Now On--a Last Words Anthology".
In an apparent attempt to bring about our own end of days, we each decided to bring a shot to the table for the book. We had a Lemon Drop shot, an M&M shot, and a Loopy shot, which uses Rum Chata and Loopy Vodka, which is Fruit Loop flavored for any uncultured sober kids out there. Since Ashley and Sam couldn't find any Loopy Vodka, they took an uncharted adventure into the world of infusing vodka...with Fruit Loops. Listen to see our experiment ended up!
Our Inner Nerd Unleashed S3E10
1h 18m · PublishedFirst up is "Ouran High School Host Club," paired with a popular TikTok fad of five minutes ago, Whipped Coffee, ours being spiked, of course. Needing a little testosterone after all those rose animations, we follow with popular "One Punch Man," and what could be better paired with this than a Rum Punch Man cocktail?
Kings in the Ring S3E09
1h 50m · PublishedThis week, we decided to take each of their first full-length novels and see how they compared. For the "King of Horror" that ended up being "Carrie", so naturally we had to settle down with our blood orange cocktail, "The Favorite," and watch the movie as well.
Joe Hill's first novel went by the name "Heart Shaped Box", and in what was deemed to be a purposeful break from his father's favorite book setting of Maine, our characters traveled up and down and around and across the South of the good old USA, blood and destruction following. Therefore, our Southern Spiked Peach Iced Tea helped to wash away the gore just a little bit. Listen on to find out who our favorite was!
Somnambulistic Samurai vs. Vigorous Viking S3E08
1h 24m · PublishedIn the other corner, switch in hand and ready to strike, is "Conquered by the Viking" by Ashe Barker. What other choice for a drink pairing was there than mead? We explored a Honey Wine and a flavored Passionfruit Mead to soften blows of all types from this book.
My Hitler Mustache is Coming In S3E07
1h 15m · PublishedAshley has a personal connection with our first book, "Citizen 865" by Debbie Cenzipek, which is a completely factual exploration into the famed Nazi hunters within the US government. Though a completely sobering tale, our Häagen Dazs Spirits Ice Cream kept our spirits up through this discussion (pun intended).
Adding a little more amusement but no less horror to the discussion was "The Boys From Brazil" by Ira Levin, a story that uses real figures from WWII for a fictitious plot about raising clones of Hitler for the Fourth Reich. Aside from historical facts, you can also find out the truth of whether sword canes are lawfully allowed in the US, and enjoy all it all over our White Sand Cocktail, using our new and much beloved Leblon Cachaça rum.
Don't forget, new episodes weekly during June and July! See you next week, lieblings!
Let the Bodies Hit the Floor, Not the Beer S3E06
1h 8m · Published"Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay may have a ring of familiarity to it, as it serves as the basis for the Showtime show "Dexter". Trying to switch things up this week, the crew chose beers and reaffirmed, though it wasn't really in question, that we are just not really beer people. We tried, y'all. This book was paired with two brews from Rogue Brewing Company, the aptly named Dead Guy Ale and a Chocolate Nitro Stout.
Rounding out our episode with a little grocery store rage, torture, and some other kinks and fetishes we just can't mention here, is "Cold Cole Heart" by K. Webster. You'll find our Flying Dog: Raging Bitch beer pairs perfectly with a few of the characters mentioned therein.
Happy to see us, or is that just a book in your pocket? For the time being, Lit & Liquor is back to weekly episodes through the summer! Hey, we gotta make this quarantine drinking feel like it's accomplishing something!
Tinge, Tilt, Tint, Twitch, Tilt, Taste S3E05
1h 51m · PublishedAnyways.
This week we're back into (and I quote), "some weird ass alien shit" with "Dawn" by Octavia Butler. Over an In Case of Alien Invasion cocktail, we discuss some interesting morality questions, survival of the fittest, and as was already hinted, just some really weird alien sex things.
Moving on to bloodier and more intense but definitely more interesting things, our second book was a debut novel, "Rage of Dragons" by Evan Winter. This book earned a rare average rating of four shots and was enjoyed by everyone around the table. Our discussion lasted so long, you'll probably want to make the Dragonfruit Mimosa a double or triple.
Liquor Only--Corona Edition S3E04
1h 0m · PublishedOur Apologies to the World of Rum S3E03
53m · PublishedFrom a list of the top thrillers in this category, we chose "Blood of the Wicked" by Leighton Gage, and spoiler alerts: there was a lot of blood, and there was a lot of wickedness. Join us in the thrilling world of Brazil, corrupt cops, street gangs and, of course, excellent rum.
It must be said, as hinted in our title, that we owe the rum world an apology. For one, we finally learned how to pronounce the word 'cachaça' and our initial efforts were, well... Let's just move on from that dark time. Secondly, given Ashley and Kassandra's love of the drink called a caipirinha and the knowledge it contains the (previously thought to be) ghastly cachaça rum, they went on a quest to find the best cachaça rum for a caipirinha and see if it lived up to their memory.
We're very happy to report that Leblon Cachaça is worlds different from the motor oil packaged as alcohol from our Bamboo Bullshit episode, and the difference has to be tasted to be believed. Cachaça is also one of Brazil's most popular spirits, leading to a most excellent companion for this book.
Toss A Coin to Your Liquor S3E02
1h 5m · PublishedOur book was "The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski, a collection of short stories from which the Netflix tv show "The Witcher" is based. While the concepts and world in the book made for interesting reading, the show won as our favorite by a wide margin. And not at all because of the beautiful and often nude members of both sexes there within... Lit & Liquor is nothing but class, folks. And while our Cat Potion cocktail does not, in fact, offer any illumination into the confusing timeline of the show, it's still damn delicious.
