Episode 6: Spelling It Out - The Songs That Made Us Work for It
Some songs make you move without thinking. Others make you pay attention. This week, we explore the hooks that turned lyrics into spelling lessons, from Nat King Cole’s velvet charm to Aretha’s call for dignity to the sweaty-garage swagger of “Gloria.” We’ll trace how letters became legends, how simple chants shook stadium walls, and why these spell-it-out classics are still burned into our brains. Pour a drink, pull up a chair, and let’s see why spelling never sounded so good.

2 oz bourbon
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
¾ oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and hot water)

How to make it:
Shake hard with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon wheel and a drizzle of honey. Smooth, bright, and just sweet enough to make studying taste good.
