Three Questions, Three Drinks is a podcast for the inquisitive, for those who know there is still so much to know, and that the best way to learn is by asking great questions and seeking first to understand. Join me – Chris Mikolay – and my rotating group of brilliant and funny and opinionated friends as we pour a few drinks and dive headfirst into life’s most important, most absurd and most thought-provoking questions. We’ll either solve all the world’s problems, or we’ll get stuck arguing whether cereal is a soup. From the provocative to the profound, Three Questions, Three Drinks is a podcast that gets more interesting with every sip, and it will prove that there is still room for civil debate and altering your world view, even if it requires a little liquid courage. Cheers!

31 AUG 2026 · ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (The Sequel). It’s been almost a year and a half since Amanda, Chris and Matt first debated our AI future, and a lot has changed. Reconvening over two questionable cocktails “invented” by AI (as well as one utterly delightful, human-made classic), Matt takes over hosting duties as the group debates whether it’s okay to outsource a best man speech to Claude, if a populace under the spell of AI spells doom for American democracy, and whether humanity’s progress will be derailed by digital overlords. Pull up a barstool and join this classic 3Q3D conversation before the robots take over your podcast feed for good.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
THE CLEVER PROMPT >> 1½ oz bourbon, ½ oz sweet vermouth, ½ oz Campari, ½ oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur, ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 dash Angostura bitters. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. With a history at least one hour old, this cocktail comes courtesy of ChatGPT and is enjoyed by robots worldwide.
SIDECAR COCKTAIL>> 2 oz Cognac, ¾ oz Cointreau, ¾ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar for the glass rim. Shake ingredients with ice, strain into a coupe rimmed with sugar. Robots will never one-up this classic Harry’s New York Bar staple from early 20th-century Paris.
THE ALGORITHM >> 1½ oz gin, ½ oz Amaro, ½ oz Orange Curaçao, ¼ oz Galliano, ½ oz fresh lemon juice, 2 dashes orange bitters, top with chilled tonic water. Combine spirits, liqueur, and citrus with ice, strain into a glass with fresh ice, and top with tonic water. Enjoy this AI-crafted cocktail while marveling at how…it reminds you of a lot of other cocktails. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

25 AUG 2026 · HOBBIES / PASSION PROJECTS / SIDE HUSTLES! After an unintentional hiatus, Amanda, Chris and Matt finally reunite to wonder why we let our favorite hobbies and creative side passions (like, ahem, an erstwhile podcast for inquisitive people) slip away into the black hole of busy calendars and mindless doomscrolling. Over three pretty good drinks, the trio unpacks how we can reclaim the passions that bring us real joy, the abandoned hobbies we ought to resurrect, and the pursuits that most reflect our true selves.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
SCOTCH & SODA >> 2 oz blended Scotch whiskey; 4 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water. Fill a highball glass with ice, pour in the 2 ounces of Scotch and top with chilled club soda. Stir briefly and gently to mix without losing the bubbles. Enjoy while reading a book out loud to your grandchildren.
BLACKBERRY PALOMA >> 2 oz blanco tequila; 3 oz sparkling grapefruit soda (or grapefruit juice plus club soda); 4 fresh blackberries (plus more for garnish); 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice; 1/2 oz simple syrup; salt for the glass rim. Muddle blackberries with 1/2 oz simple syrup and 1 oz lime juice in a glass. Add tequila and ice, then top with 3 oz sparkling grapefruit soda. Stir gently and garnish with extra berries and a lime wheel. Enjoy while partaking in a favorite hobby, such as cobbling shoes.
DORCHESTER COCKTAIL >> 1 1/2 oz gin; 1/2 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur; 3/4 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 oz grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 oz simple syrup. Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and pick up that dusty guitar, would ya?

26 JAN 2026 · HIGH SCHOOL REUNIONS! 30 years ago, Amanda Adams, Matthew Jordan and Chris Mikolay matriculated from the same suburban high school. Fast forward three decades and they're now slugging back beers large and small (literally) while unpacking their 30 year high school reunion. Do people change as they age? Do social hierarchies still matter after decades have gone by? And how, exactly, should one prepare themselves for a pending reunion? Well, pull up a barstool and join another lively conversation that proves - while time has certainly passed - great questions and great drinks remain as cool as ever.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE
BLOOD RAIN BELGIAN GOLDEN ALE >> Erie Brewing Company. Best served from an absurdly large can as you wonder where the last 30 years went.
BOULEVARDIER COCKTAIL >> 1½ oz bourbon, 1 oz Campari, 1 oz sweet vermouth. Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass, garnish with orange peel. Like a Negroni that grew up, got nostalgic, and switched to bourbon.
LIL BUDDY LAGER >> Hopewell Brewing (Chicago). An adorably tiny 8-oz can of crisp, easy-drinking lager at 4.2% ABV. Perfect for pacing yourself as you recall the halcyon days of your youth, only to realize those days are long gone and you'll need three more Lil Buddies immediately.

1 JAN 2026 · RESOLUTIONS! A new year has arrived, which means it’s time to make bold promises you’ll quietly abandon by mid-January. But fret not: Chris, Amanda and Matt have returned from a long podcasting hiatus with 3 drinks and a plan to ensure 2026 is your best year ever. Unfortunately, things quickly fall apart after Amanda pours a drink laden with half a stick of butter while admitting she has no ability to track her schedule. Matt then attempts to raise the conversational IQ by questioning whether it’s harder to start a good habit or to break a bad one, but the group instead fixates on Amanda’s Cheez-It addiction. If you’re looking to start 2026 in style, look no further than this latest episode of the 3 Questions, 3 Drinks podcast.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
HOT BUTTERED RUM >> 1 oz dark rum, 1 tbsp butter, 1–2 tsp brown sugar, Hot water, Nutmeg (for garnish). Add butter and brown sugar to a mug. Pour in rum and top with hot water (less than you think). Stir until melted. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Best enjoyed on a snowy day, preferably while questioning your life choices.
WATERSHED BOURBON >> Watershed Distillery Uncut, Unfiltered Straight Bourbon. Pour two fingers worth of bourbon over ice (or enjoy neat if you’re feeling brave). Sip slowly while running your fingers through your newfound chest hair.
MARTINEZ COCKTAIL >> 1½ oz Dingle Gin, 1 ½ oz sweet vermouth, 1 tsp maraschino liqueur (Luxardo preferred), 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir all ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel and/or a Cheez-It.

20 JUL 2025 · MORTALITY. After a jarring family event flips his world upside down, Chris confronts some of life’s biggest questions: What does it mean to live knowing our time is finite? How do we find purpose in the face of our own impermanence? And can confronting death actually teach us to live more fully? Joined by 3Q3D regulars Amanda Adams and Matt Jordan, this conversation about life’s ultimate deadline proves delightfully refreshing – just like the 3 cocktails shared by the group.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
Chambord Old Fashioned >> 2 oz Bulleit rye whiskey, ¼ oz Chambord, ¼ oz simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and serve over one large ice cube. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and drink like your heart condition is 100% genetic.
Mint Watermelon Fizz cocktail >> 4 oz watermelon juice (blend several cups of watermelon chunks in a blender and strain out any pulp); 1 oz Vodka, ½ oz mint simple syrup. Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and pour into a rocks glass with crushed ice and top with a splash of soda water. Garnish with a mint sprig and freshly cut slice of watermelon. Congratulations, by eating fruit you just made a heart healthy decision!
Southside Cocktail >> 5 muddled mint leaves, I oz lemon juice, 2 oz gin, ½ oz simple syrup. Muddle mint leaves with lemon, add gin and simple syrup, shake on ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Serve with mint sprig and enjoy one of summer’s most refreshing cocktails while pondering your own mortality.

5 MAY 2025 · MONEY & WEALTH! Chris kicks Episode 92 off with a (clearly very legitimate) pyramid scheme sales pitch to Amanda and Matt, who prove, yet again, that there's a sucker born every minute. But the talk quickly shifts to hard-hitting money truths—childhood lessons we ignored, what “F-you money” really means, Rockefeller’s quip about craving “just a little bit more,” and how ego sabotages our savings. Along the way, Amanda reveals her Cadbury Egg obsession knows no budget, Matt dreams of cruising in a Saab 900, and Chris suggests tipping valet drivers with $2 bills like a benevolent Bond villain.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
CLASSIC DAQUIRI >> 2 oz light rum, 1 oz fresh lime juice, ¾ oz simple syrup. In a cocktail shaker with ice, shake vigorously until well-chilled, strain into a coupe, and enjoy this bright, citrusy nod to Hemingway, JFK, and warm spring nights.
THE WHITE LADY>> 2 oz gin, ¾ oz triple sec (or Cointreau), ¾ oz lemon juice, 1 egg white. Dry shake, then shake with ice, strain into a coupe. The once-maligned White Lady gets her long-overdue redemption.
MINT JULEP >> 2 oz Four Roses bourbon, ½ oz demerara simple syrup, Fresh mint (muddled + garnish). Muddle the mint with the demerara syrup in the bottom of a Julep glass and then discard the mint. Pour in the bourbon, stir, and then pack the glass with crushed ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve with a metal straw. Enjoy the official cocktail of the Kentucky Derby while making a reckless bet on the longshot to win it all.

28 APR 2025 · ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE! These days, AI is all the rage, but it’s also fueling more late-night doomscrolling than many care to admit. Whether we like it or not, though, Artificial Intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction — it’s here, it’s evolving faster than we are, and in some unsettling ways, it feels like we’ve begun teaching rocks to think (what could go wrong?). On the bright side, the rocks in 3Q3D’s cocktail glasses are still cold, and the conversation – at least for now – still involves real people. While Chris Mikolay appears to welcome our new AI overlords, noted technophobe and hunter-gatherer enthusiast Amanda Adams assumes Episode 91's hosting duties, leading the trio down a dark and winding path that questions how AI is reshaping creativity, education, relationships, and perhaps, what it even means to be human.
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
BABY GUINNESS SHOT >> 1 oz Kahlúa; 1/2 oz Baileys Irish Cream (floated carefully on top). Pour the Kahlúa into a shot glass. Using the back of a spoon, carefully float the Baileys on top to create a layered – and nearly perfect – deep fake of a miniature Guinness.
PERFECT MANHATTAN COCKTAIL >> 2 oz rye whiskey; 1/2 oz sweet vermouth; 1/2 oz dry vermouth; 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass and garnish with a Luxardo cherry or a lemon twist. A classic cocktail that pairs perfectly with a Cadbury Egg (or 3).
PINK GIN COCKTAIL >> 2 oz Dingle Gin (or any London dry gin); 2–3 dashes Angostura bitters. Add gin and bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist if desired.
Simple, sophisticated, and tinged with just enough mystery — fitting for a conversation about our AI future.

24 MAR 2025 · BIG, DIFFICULT, FASCINATING QUESTIONS (THAT WE’LL HAVE TO FACE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE). It seems only fitting that Matt Jordan – with his genetically perfect beard – should assume command of the USS 3Q3D for a conversation that tackles the toughest bioethical questions of our not-at-all distant future. Joined as usual by Amanda Adams and Chris Mikolay, the group wastes no time discussing whether we ought to genetically enhance our children, the second and third order consequences of dramatically increasing lifespans, and whether it’s a good idea to implant a computer chip in our heads to make us a whole lot smarter. The questions are as good as the drinks (and in this episode, the drinks are *chef’s kiss*), and resulting conversation is so strong that it’s hard to believe it wasn’t held by superhumans from the future.
Drinks in this Episode:
Last Word coctkail >> 3/4 ounce gin; 3/4 ounce green Chartreuse; 3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur; 3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed; Garnish: brandied cherry (optional). Add the gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lime juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and enjoy on your spaceship to Mars.
Sakura Sunrise cocktail >> 1 ½ ounce Roku gin; ½ ounce simple syrup; ¾ ounce grapefruit juice; ½ ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed; splash of St. Germain; 3 dashes Lavender bitters. Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a coupe. Enjoy it anywhere, but ideally at a fancy bar on the North Shore of Hawaii so you can humblebrag about it later during a podcast recording.
Lemon Drop cocktail >> 2 ounces vodka; 1/2 ounce triple sec; 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed; 1 ounce simple syrup. Garnish: sugar rim. Coat the rim of a cocktail glass with sugar and set aside (do this a few minutes ahead so the sugar can dry and adhere well to the glass). Add the vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass, take a sip, and immediately declare how much you enjoyed Lemonheads as a kid.

10 FEB 2025 · STYLE! (Part 2). In the final installment of a special two-part series on Style, serious style is apparently found at…Costco? While Chris begs to differ, Matt makes a case for a closet full of Kirkland Signature and – provided Roman chic someday makes a comeback – at least one quality toga. Clearly, the 3Q3D crew is not afraid to break all the rules as they arrive for this second serving of style with a fresh batch of questions (including a frenetic lightning round finale) and 3 new drinks that are as varied (and, in one instance, as regrettable) as the style trends discussed. You may regret your style decisions of years past, but you won’t regret listening to this classic episode of 3Q3D!
Drinks in this Episode:
Bâtonnet cocktail >> 1 part cognac, 4 parts white wine, 5 parts tonic; 2 cinnamon sticks. Mix cognac, white wine and tonic in a tumbler with ice and pour into a cocktail glass. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and, like a Hefty bag of old clothes you’ll be donating to Goodwill, forget this drink ever existed.
Classic Martini (Stirred, not shaken) >> 2 1/2 oz vodka; 1/2 oz dry vermouth (spring for the good vermouth, you’ll thank us); 1 dash orange bitters. Garnish: lemon twist. Add the vodka, dry vermouth and orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until very well-chilled, about 20 to 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a lemon twist and go ahead, buy that fancy Costco dress shirt you’ve been eyeing. YOU DESERVE IT.
Jack Rose Cocktail >> 1 1/2 oz applejack or apple brandy; 3/4 oz lemon juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 oz grenadine; Garnish: lemon twist. Add the applejack, lemon juice and grenadine into a shaker with ice, and shake until well-chilled. Fine-strain into a coupe glass, garnish with a lemon twist and no, that pair of Air Jordan’s doesn’t make you look cool. It makes you look like a middle-aged Dad wearing Air Jordan’s.

3 FEB 2025 · STYLE! (Part 1). In the first of a special 2-episode double feature, Fashion Week has made its way to 3Q3D headquarters and the drinks aren’t the only thing in vogue. Amanda, Matt and Chris have upped their sartorial game, arriving to the studio dressed to the nines and ready to pour cocktails that are as elegant as their names (Tuxedo No. 2, where have you been all our lives?!). The group wonders whether fashion’s future is formal or if it’s cooler to be comfortable, how much we ought to cultivate our own personal style, and why a woman might worry about the size of her knees. Get ready for your turn on the catwalk, 3Q3D Nation, and welcome to a very stylish conversation.
Drinks in this Episode:
Tuxedo No. 2 Cocktail >> 1/4 oz absinthe, to rinse; 2 1/4 oz Plymouth gin, 1/2 oz blanc (Bianco) vermouth, 1/4 oz maraschino liqueur, 4 dashes orange bitters. Garnish: orange twist and brandied cherry. Rinse a chilled cocktail glass with the absinthe and discard any excess. Add all other ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass, garnish with a brandied cherry and an orange twist. Sipping a tuxedo while wearing a tuxedo is optional, but never a bad idea.
Brandy Alexander Cocktail >> 1 1/2 oz cognac, 1 oz dark creme de cacao, 1 oz cream. Garnish: grated nutmeg. Add cognac, dark creme de cacao and cream into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass or a coupe glass. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and try to suppress the urge to drink 4 in rapid succession.
Chelsea Sidecar >> 2 oz gin, ¾ oz Cointreau, ½ oz fresh lemon juice. Rub the rim of a chilled cocktail glass with a lemon peel. In a cocktail shaker with ice, shake the ingredients vigorously and then strain into the prepared cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist and If you’ve been enjoying the 3Q3D podcast, please subscribe and consider giving us a rating, a review, or sharing an episode with a friend.
