WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU? As he mixes up an old timey cocktail that smells like your Grandma’s favorite jar of potpourri, Matt Jordan captains 3Q3D for the first time, hosting the original podcasting trio for a thought-provoking and wide-ranging conversation about the evolving nature of friendship and community. Over drinks both hot and cold, the group ponders the declining state of friendship in America, whether your spouse should be your best friend, and debates the most important traits a true friend should have.
Drinks in this Episode:
Wassail >> 1 gallon apple cider, ½ T whole cloves, 1 T whole allspice, 12 sticks cinnamon, 1 c orange juice; combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes. Strain and serve, adding bourbon to taste, just like Grandma used to make.
Vodka Tonic >> 2 oz vodka, tonic water, 1 squeeze lemon (optional), lemon peel to garnish. Add the vodka to a Collins glass, fill the glass with ice, then top with the tonic water and add an optional squeeze of lemon. Garnish with a lemon peel.
Bobby Burns cocktail >> 1 oz blended scotch whisky (ideally a 12-year-old), 1 oz sweet vermouth, ½ oz Benedictine and lemon peel for garnish. Add the scotch, vermouth and Benedictine to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass. Twist a lemon peel over the glass to release its oils and then drop it into the drink.
