The guys are once again joined by CitySip.com contributing editor Jessica Borges - this time at the trendy Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills for some delicious happy hour punch and appetizers. They get some helpful tips about drinks and eats from the bar manager and the head chef. And did we mention there's some drinking going on?

Lots and lots of drinking.

Give a listen.

Bartender Alex Straus, of Hemingway's Lounge in Hollywood, once told me that “A complete bartender knows and uses mixology, along with his knowledge of the weather, politics, sports, maintenance, plumbing, and how to make someone end up outside before they start a fight.”

I dig that quote something proper, and so I was thrilled when the man himself agreed to join Stretch and I in the Imbiber Show's highly fortified Hollywood studio, where we kicked it with some Straus-made pineapple punch and talked football. The Big Game. The bowl that is super.

Predictions were made.

Punch was dranked (see recipe below)

Stretch got tanked.

Your typical Imbiber Show debauchery.

You gotta give it a listen.

Unless you're just a punk. (and we know you're not)

Pineapple Punch Recipe

1 1/2 oz Gran Sierpe pisco, 1 oz crisp chardonnay, 1/2 oz pineapple gum syrup, 1 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz simple, 2 muddled pineapple slices, 1/2 oz pineapple juice, 1 barspoon of sugar.

Add ice, shake vigorously and strain over fresh ice for single serve or multiply by 16 and use an entire bottle for a punch.

Screw Cinco de Mayo, man! TODAY -- September 16th -- marks the actual day of Mexico’s Independence, originally celebrated 200 years ago. 2010 is such a monumental year for the country that Mexican President Felipe Calderón declared it the "Year of the Nation." And I believe by "nation" he means Mexico. Hey, not only is this the 200th anniversary of the country’s movement for independence against Spain in 1810, it's also the 100th anniversary of the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910.

The Imbiber staff plans to celebrate Mexico’s Centennial and Bicentennial with some delicious punch made with Cabo Wabo Tequila (click Read More below  for recipe). I loves me some Cabo Wabo because it was founded by my man, legendary rocker Sammy Hagar, who had this to say about my upcoming book, Living Loaded: Tales of Sex, Salvation and the Pursuit of the Never-Ending Happy Hour:

“Dan Dunn's writing is like kick-ass, balls to the wall rock n roll cranked to ear-bleed levels -- makes you feel great and really pisses off the neighbors.  I can drink to that!”

Thanks, Sammy. You da man. Viva Mexico!
