Pulling up a chair at the bar today is Nick Helm! Winner of the Chortle Award for best music and variety act in 2015; Helm was previously nominated for the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2011 and 2013. He also starred in the BBC Three sitcom Uncle. We’re chuffed he stumbled into the bar and helped solve the mystery of what happened in room 1046 of the Hotel President, a case which remains unsolved to this day.
The drinks Masud rustled up are…
Old Fashioned
2oz Bourbon
¼oz Simple Syrup
1 Dash Angostura Bitters
1 Dash Orange Bitters
Stir the bourbon, simple syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with one large ice cube. Garnish with an orange peel.
At the Mystery on the Rocks bar you’ll find a retired sleuth, the bartender trying to settle his tab, and the down-on-her-luck lounge singer, solving mysteries and drinking cocktails. Each week a new guest enters the bar and attempts to solve an unsolved mystery alongside the regulars. Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner. It’s a high concept comedy and true crime podcast, set in a fictional crime-solving bar (with real cocktails!). The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. Masud makes the drinks, Chris tells the mystery and Sooz sings and plays live piano – and everyone chats and chimes in with their theories.
