The AOTD Video Podcast is an offshoot of the Art of the Drink Instructional Bartending DVD series. Created by writer/director/host Anthony Caporale and cinematographer/film editor David McCoy, the AOTD-VP follows a simple two-act format: first the drink is prepared by Anthony, then his co-host makes the drink following his instructions. Many episodes feature a trivia contest based on lessons from previous episodes. Each episode ends with a coda of outtakes and candid moments from the shoot.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Art of the Drink has received honors, including the Lulu TV Award for Best Instructional Vlog of 2006.[11] AOTD was also selected as an iTunes Featured How-To Podcast. The series was featured in The News & Observer[12] and commended as a Best of 2006 in The New York Times.[13] Art of the Drink is produced by Lion's Cathedral Productions.
