From Long Island Iced Tea to frozen cocktails to Grasshoppers, there’s a whole class of drinks that don’t get much respect from modern bartenders or drinkers. But in the right bar and under the right circumstances, they are the perfect thing to mix up and enjoy.

On this episode of Life Behind Bars, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich reveal their favorite guilty pleasures and where they like to enjoy them. (Yes, even cocktail experts drink guilty pleasures from time to time.) So if you’ve ever enjoyed a White Russian, a Frozen Irish Coffee or a Pousse Café you need to listen to this podcast.

Life Behind Bars features Half Full’s editor Noah Rothbaum and its Senior Drinks Columnist David Wondrich as they discuss the greatest bartenders and greatest cocktails of all time.
