Spirits & Supernatural

Although you might say the Winchesters are the "under-est of dogs" as Dawn and Jenny describe them in this episode, we can confidently say that the next two angels were not underdogs at all. This episode is about Zachariah and Uriel, two very powerful angels who were soldiers on a mission. Pour yourself a 'Soldier Angel' and tune in for another wild ride on S&S.

SOLDIER ANGEL COCKTAIL

Ingredients: 1.5 ounces apple whiskey, 1.5 ounces dry vermouth, 1 ounce of Kahlua (or coffee liqueur), and a dash of orange bitters.

Recipe: Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass. Enjoy!

MOCKTAIL

Apple Cider. That's it. We were really surprised how much this cocktail tasted like apple cider. If you want a bit of the coffee flavor then you could add an ounce of cold brew to your apple cider.

We're starting 2026 with a new theme: Angels. In this episode, Jenny & Dawn start the angel journey with some minor angels who had a major impact. Hey, Angel Face, pour yourself a drink and tune in for more fun this year.

ANGEL FACE COCKTAIL

1 ounce gin, 1 ounce apple whiskey, 1 ounce peach brandy.

Pour each ingredient in a glass over ice and add a twist of orange. Garnish with an orange or apple slice.

MOCKTAIL

Substitute the whiskey and brandy with apple juice and peach juice or syrup. Add a little juniper syrup for a gin flavor. Enjoy!

In the final special episode of 2025, we're talking about Supernatural conventions. Several guest experts join Jenny and Dawn for a drink and a long chat about photo ops, con activities, making friends and found family. Pour yourself some chaos and join the fun!

CHAOS COCKTAIL

Ingredients: 2 ounces whiskey, 2 ounces pineapple juice, 1 ounce cranberry juice, 1 ounce club soda.

To make: add the whiskey and juices to a shaker with ice. Shake it up, baby. Strain over ice and top with soda. Enjoy!

OR use Japanese whiskey like Ed and Cherri and you'll have a 'Busty Asian Beauty'.

MOCKTAIL

Skip the whiskey or use a nonalcoholic whiskey such as Ritual.

The third special episode to end 2025 is all about the props from Supernatural. Dawn and Jenny brought together some folks who are well-versed in collecting props to share their favorite finds. Grab yourself a drink (real or prop) and enjoy another episode of Spirits & Supernatural!

Don't forget to follow Dean the Impala and Yertle the Supernatural Gremlin on Facebook.

PROP-TAIL: Make your own Margiekugel or El Sol label and slap it on a bottle of your favorite beer, soda pop, or whatever you like.

The music of Supernatural is obviously iconic. In this episode we talk about the great music and the ways it was used in the show. We also have a special guest, Ray, who makes music some of which is about Supernatural. Pour yourself a drink and sit back for another fun episode.

Ray can be found on Instagram and YouTube. You can also find cool stuff she makes with her dad on FromTheDaveCave.com.

BOULEVARDIER COCKTAIL

MOCKTAIL

NA whiskey or try Oversteeped black tea if you feel adventurous, White Grape Juice (in place of Vermouth), Pineapple or Grapefruit Juice (in place of Aperol).

To make: Mix it up the same.

Twenty years ago a sci-fi show premiered on the WB. Soon it moved to the CW and only grew from there. In this episode, Dawn and Jenny invite some friends to talk about the fandom that has been built around Supernatural. It's amazing the places we've gone because of the show.

Guests: Theresa of 3sa Photography, Valerie of Spotted Hound Design, and Amber of My SPN Fix.

Nothing could stop her, not even the devil himself, and that's why we had to take an entire episode to talk about Rowena MacLeod. The fire in her eyes matches her hair and her air. Mix up a Cosmopolitan and sit back for our conversation about this fancy lady.

COSMO COCKTAIL RECIPE

Young and fully of attitude, Claire Novak will always make an impression. With another guest, Dawn & Jenny discuss this angsty hunter and whether we love her or find her annoying. Mix up a Sex on the Beach and listen in to this one.

SEX ON THE BEACH RECIPE

Ingredients: 1 ounce vodka (or light rum), 1 ounce peach schnapps, 3 ounces orange juice, and 3 ounces cranberry juice.

To make: In a tall glass, add ice then the vodka (or rum) and peach schnapps. Top with the orange and cranberry juices. You can garnish with an orange slice, maraschino cherries, and a little umbrella if you want.

MOCKTAIL RECIPE

Replace the vodka/rum with a nonalcoholic version or skip it. Coconut water is a good light rum substitute if you like coconut. Replace the peach schnapps with peach juice. Mix the drink the same way, and garnish similarly if you choose.

Raised by a hunter, uncertain about allies, and doesn't like the British Men of Letters ... who could that be? This time we're talking about the Irish legend, Eileen Leahy. Mix up an "Irish Maid" and let us know your theories after listening to this episode.

IRISH MAID RECIPE

TO MAKE: Muddle two cucumber slices in a shaker then add everything else and shake. Add ice to your glass then double strain into said glass. Garnish with a cucumber slice.

MOCKTAIL:

Substitute the St Germain for elderflower syrup. You may want to omit the simple syrup to prevent over-sweetened the drink. Substitute the Irish Whiskey with nonalcoholic whiskey or club soda.

Alternatively, add elderflower syrup to chilled lemonade and garnish with cucumber.
