we're staying calm, cool, and collected here in season 2 and this week we are flippin out, Literally. Our first flip cocktail on the pod:

freeze coupe

muddle basil and cucumber in shaker

add whole egg

1 oz lime

1 oz simple syrup

2 oz gin

dry shake (no ice)

shake with ice

strain into coupe

garnish with cucumber ribbon cocktail pick

cheers!

Sip on a velvety, herbaceous, gin flip while this week we chat about slowing down. It's easy to forget to smell the roses and appreciate the now and present. Our 20's feel like a rush to get to the next, but I thought we learned after childhood to never wish for the next phase because we'll miss being a kid. Rushing doesn't get us anywhere productive and to love life is to love what's in front of you, no matter how small.
