Mike and Alexandra continue with the Lenten beer series as well as an alcohol-free mocktail series. Topics include:

Station Church: Santa Maria in Trastevere

Beer of the Week: Westmalle Dubbel

Trastevere Mocktail

2-3 sliced fresh strawberries

2-3 mint leaves

1 oz simple syrup

1 oz fresh lemon juice

sparkling water

1 drop spikenard essential oil (substitute: 1 drop lavender essential oil)—and no more!

In a shaker or mixing glass, gently muddle the strawberries, mint leaves, and simple syrup. Add lemon juice and essential oil and shake forty times. Pour into an old-fashioned glass with ice, top with sparkling water, and stir. Garnish with a strawberry and mint leaf.

Exciting News! Mike has teamed up with Fr. Leo Patalinghug to create a cookbook of recipes paired with saint stories. “Dining with the Saints” is available NOW!
