It’s cocktail collab time again, folks. This time we’ve got the queens of pop culture (and all things a little bit trashy), our fave podcasters Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews from Shameless.
Before we start bartending, mixing and shake, shake, shakin’, let’s learn a little bit about our Shameless besties Zara and Michelle. If you’re not familiar with the pod, it’s a one-stop shop for your trashy TV rundowns, influencer antics and Hollywood goss. How did they get into this particularly fun line of work, you ask? It’s a tale as old as time. Sort of.
“We were in our first digi-media job and were caught nattering away about The Bachelor at our desks. The company’s Head of Podcasts at the time, Monique Bowley, overheard our back-and-forth and decided we should be put in a pod studio together!” If that isn’t the best endorsement for a cheeky work chat, we don’t know what is.
Aside from work, the two podcast icons enjoy grabbing dinner and drinks with mates, a footy game here and there, and trips to the South Melbourne market. Sounds pretty good to us.
Now back to our yummy cocktail collab. The Shameless Sour is a fun mix of vodka, vanilla, lychee, lemon and rosewater topped with a lovely fluff of egg white. It’s the “definitely-wish-we-were-in-Europe-but-we’re-not-so-here’s-a-cocktail-instead” cocktail (their words not ours, but preach).
So, if this sounds like a little bit of you, throw on the Shameless podcast, read our top tips below and get shaking.
