January 06, 2023 Episode 17: All Cocktails, No Colts
Ruh-roh, Shaggy...is this an omen for the upcoming year? We certainly hope not! Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, the second half of this episode was "erased from existence" (said in Doc Brown voice) and joins the annals of such recordings as the Beatles' "Carnival of Light" that may never be properly prepared for public consumption. It's an unfortunate circumstance that I'll blame on happenstance, chicanery, and whataboutism. Otherwise, this 25+ minute chat is invigorating. It also features–in my humble opinion–our best cocktail to date. Pray tell:

• 1 ounce Raspberry Liqueur
• 2 ounces Cranberry Juice
