Episode 4: Tez Ilyas and the Lead Masks of Vintem Hill

Making it just in time for last call this week is the one and only Tez Ilyas. Tez is one of the stars of hit sitcom Man Like Mobeen and has appeared on Mock the Week, The Last Leg and so much more. He has also written and starred in his own scripted comedy shorts for BBC Three, BBC iPlayer and Sky Arts and we are absolutely delighted he chose to drink with us.

Tez ordered mocktails for the night - Masud treated the bar to…

Sweet Sunshine

4oz Orange Juice

½ oz Grenadine

Orange Slice

Fill a highball glass with ice and orange juice. Slowly pour the Grenadine over, it will sink. Garnish with orange slice.

Sundowner

4oz Grape Juice

2 ½ oz Sparkling Water

1 Mint Sprig to Garnish

In a highball glass with ice pour over the grape juice then sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

At the Mystery on the Rocks bar you’ll find a retired sleuth, the bartender trying to settle his tab, and the down-on-her-luck lounge singer, solving mysteries and drinking cocktails. Each week a new guest enters the bar and attempts to solve an unsolved mystery alongside the regulars. Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner. It’s a high concept comedy and true crime podcast, set in a fictional crime-solving bar (with real cocktails!). The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. Masud makes the drinks, Chris tells the mystery and Sooz sings and plays live piano – and everyone chats and chimes in with their theories.
