About this listen

This episode was recorded live before an audience at J. Rieger's headquarters. Ryan Maybee, the Co-founder and Managing Director of J. RIeger joined Jamie and Alex to discuss his killer cocktail and more.

In June 1928, Kansas City was thrilled to host the Republican Presidential Convention. Herbert Hoover was in town, but also were numerous bank robbers. Their audacious (and ill-advised) daylight bank robbery would lead to tragedy, with one individual murdered and several others injured.

Who were these men, and why were they allowed on the street? The answer might shock you.

1 1/2 oz RIeger Kansas City Whiskey

3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth (Dolin)

1/2 oz Benedictine

3 Heavy dashes Angostura Bitters

Long lemon twist
