Cocktails & Capitalism
Cocktails & Capitalism is a podcast that pairs crafted beverages with stories distilled from our capitalist hellscape. This is more than a true corporate crime show — our episodes uplift the activists and organizers who are working to oppose the destructive forces of capitalism and begin creating a better reality.
.
Our crafted cocktails help us tap into the gallows humor necessary for surviving late stage capitalism. Some of these stories can get pretty dark, so get ready and grab a drink! You can even make the custom cocktail or mocktail crafted by our resident bartender, Jesse Torres. (Find the recipes in our episode notes!)
.
We are committed to making this show free and accessible for everyone. Since we don’t want to engage in capitalist advertising practices to fund this project, we’ve decided to make this a listener-supported show. You can help us sustain this anticapitalist independent media project by signing up on Patreon for any monthly amount.

Huge thanks to the amazing anticapitalists who are supporting this project! Cheers & solidarity forever!

Cocktails & Capitalism
The Infrastructure Bill (& the Bipartisan Breeze Cocktail)
In this episode, Erika and Christa tackle the infrastructure bill while sipping on a custom cocktail: the Bipartisan Breeze. You’ll hear us discuss key aspects of this huge bill as we play a drinking game that we’ve created especially for this episode topic. Tune in to hear these ladies explain this potentially transformative legislation, including the enormous “human infrastructure” bill that will follow.
You also get to meet the lovely Ms. Christa, who has so much anti-capitalist wisdom to impart! We chat about green transportation, sustainable infrastructure, environmental racism, green gentrification, city planning, resilience, neoliberalism, and more!
Bipartisan Breeze Cocktail
1.5 oz vodka
1.5 oz pineapple juice
3 oz cranberry juice
1/4 oz Blue Curaçao
Fill a glass with ice, pour in all ingredients except blue curaçao, stir, then gently add blue Curaçao, so that it floats to the bottom and creates a blue layer under the red/pink layer. Garnish with a strawberry wheel if you’re feeling fancy
