Tired? Well, probably because of Daylight Saving Time.  Ever wonder why that stupid calendar mechanism even exists? Well just take a little listen to this episode of Making A Martini in another installment of Spilling the MarTini. In this episode I talk about the history, the reason, and the effects of this more than unneccessary  time change movement that observe twice a year (unless you're in a country or state that doesn't in which case...I'm jealous). The cocktail of this episode is a Tequila Sunrise-tini.

2 parts tequila
2 parts orange juice
Splash of grenadine
Orange slice and cherry garnish

Mix tequila and orange juice in shaker over ice. Pour into a chilled martini glass. Add grenadine which will sink to the bottom. Garnish with orange slice and cherry.

Welcome to Season 2! I got here and realized that I never told any of you about myself. Why should you care about this show, if you don't care about me?! Not that this episode is going to make you care about me at all, but it might explain a few things. I give you a brief overview of my life and how I got to be where I am and then I answer some fan questions! With special guest, Brianna Woods as the "moderator," this first episode of Season 2, is sure to inform. And we were definitely more drunk for part 2 of this than part 1. 

Cocktail: Dirty Vodka Martini
Ingredients

• 2 oz Vodka
• Splash of olive juice
• Dash of vermouth (optional)

Mix together in cocktail shaker and ice. Pour into chilled martini glass. Garnish with two olives (and you know you better go for that bleu cheese stuffed!)
