"Treat this one with the respect it deserves, gentlemen." Charles H. Baker's The Gentleman's Companion contains many a refreshing beverage, but the Remember the Maine is one for the ages.

Episode 2 - Old Fashioned
This month Nate teaches us how to make the classic Old Fashioned, which is the grandfther of all cocktails. According to Etymonline, the word cocktail dates from 1806 when Antoine Pechaud (of Pechaud's Bitters fame) served alcohol, water, and bitters concocations to his friends in an egg cup (in French, coquetier). We won't be using an egg cup, but we will be making history.
