Some final thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The hosts\u2019 chemistry and humor continue to shine through. Their back-and-forth banter keeps things lighthearted while still driving the conversation. They play off each other well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rotating guest format works. Having different guests each week, especially lesser-known up-and-comers in the drink industry, exposes viewers to new brands, products and personalities. Discovering new drinks and the stories behind them is part of the appeal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The games, challenges and cocktail recipes are a fun twist. Whether trying to make drinks on a budget or with strange ingredients, the interactive elements break up the standard interview format. The hosts\u2019 reactions and results can be amusing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The set could use some polishing. While the overall vibe is casual and laid-back, the set seems sparse. Adding some decor, props or visuals related to the drinks and themes discussed each week could make it feel more complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The run-time of around 20-25 minutes is perfect. Long enough to cover a few different drinks, banter and play some games but still short enough to remain energetic and not feel dragged out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overall\">Overall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drink Champs: Happy Hour continues to be an enjoyable new series for cocktail and spirits enthusiasts. The hosts\u2019 charisma and chemistry combined with discovering new drinks, brands and maker stories in a lighthearted way makes for a fun viewing experience. The show has found a good rhythm and format, demonstrating what a short-form podcast-inspired series can offer. If you\u2019re looking for an amusing take on drinks that doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, this show should be on your radar. Here\u2019s to more episodes of learning, laughing and libations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And there you have it, another episode of Drink Champs in the books. N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN brought the energy once again and delivered some gems that had us cracking up. The stories and jokes were flowing as much as the drinks, but that\u2019s why we tune in, right? To get a behind-the-scenes look at some of our favorite artists in a laid-back setting where they can let loose and be themselves.
