In this Christmas episode the gang is visited by Hammer Studio's 1966, "Rasputin the Mad Monk" and at least ONE of the trio is thoroughly enchanted by Christopher Lee's performance . . . can you guess who?

Murderous computer HAL Jr is once again making his presence known. If only it had been "presents", but we don't think HAL Jr celebrates the season. Ah, well.

For his holiday cocktail, Dave combines suitable "Russian" ingredients and it ends up tasting like cheap Port wine. Dave LIKES cheap Port wine.

Happy New Year!

"Rasputin's Blood" cocktail

3 parts Madeira Wine   (Allegedly loved by Rasputin)
2 parts Vodka   (Obvious Russian connection, right?)
1 part Cherry Syrup   (Cherry Varenya, a tea sweetener made by many Russians)

Pour over ice in an Old Fashioned glass, stir until cold, express oil from an Orange peel over the drink and add the peel as a garnish.
