Combine water and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until mixture comes to a low boil. Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool before adding to your cocktails.
Better late than never, said the person who sucks at online analytics… The part-time job known as Christmas is over, and we’ve finally had time to edit the episodes we recorded before Christmas.
First up, in our salute to Hanukah, we talk vaguely about some Jewish spirts and demons in between bursts of spouting off pointless facts like the big-headed autistic kid from Jerry Maguire. Cait has a haunted synagogue, Nick compares a historical possession tale to teachings of the Talmud, and Mel has new uses for cat afterbirth. It’s an episode less offensive than you would have thought, but more offensive than you would have hoped.

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until mixed and chilled. Strain into a fresh glass of ice. We recommend a salt or Tajin rim.
Charcoal Agave Syrup
Combine 1 cup agave syrup with 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Carefully mix in 1 tsp activated charcoal, bring to a low boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Activated charcoal can affect how your medications and supplements work. Ask your doctor if you’re on prescriptions. We’re lushes, not medical professionals 🙂
In a Hail Mary pass attempt at keeping our themes fresh at just-less-than-a-year into the podcast, we decided to talk about cursed films in this episode! Cait tells us about a movie that was so (rightfully) cursed that it never got finished, despite several attempts. Then Nick does it all for Damian by covering the bizarre circumstances behind-the-scenes on the set of 1976’s The Omen. Finish it all off with a demonic-looking margarita, and way, WAY too much about sphincters, and you have a Booze + Spirits Podcast!

Combine everything but the sweet tea in a shaker and muddle with ice. Dump into a highball and top with sweet tea (below). We only used about 2 oz, but feel free to upgrade to a bigger glass and add more “tea”.
This sweet tea is between a sweet tea and a syrup. To make the tea, we brewed 2 bags of black tea in a 12oz mug of hot water. After the bags have steeped for a few minutes, but before the water cools, add 1/4 cup of sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Allow to cool before making your boozy treat.
In this Chaotic Neutral episode, we go looking for alcohol spirits, and spend quite a bit of time in distilleries as a result. First, Nick goes on a brief tour of Scotch distilleries. Then Cait heads back stateside for a look at the ghosts haunting Buffalo Trace Distillery. Finally, “Mel!” returns to give us look at Japanese Shojo spirits WITHOUT looking at them through the lens of The CW’s Supernatural.

Combine all ingredients other than soda water in a shaker with ice. Quickly muddle to breakup blackberries then shake to incorporate ingredients. Pour shaker contents into a pint glass, top with soda water and enjoy.
Wash and slice plums, removing pits. Combine plum slices, lemon juice, and St. Germain in a shaker. Muddle until plums have released most of their juice. Strain into a champagne flute with simple syrup. Top with bubbles.
Place water and sugar in saucepan over medium heat. Heat and stir occasionally until bubbling and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add thyme. Let steep for 1 hour. Drain and pour in container. Store in fridge for up to 30 days.
All our episodes are rocky, but this one is on purpose! Nick and Cait have returned from their adventures in Yosemite, and while out and about they’ve gained a taste for the miner’s life! Nick brings in tales of Native American legends dealing with cave-inhabiting stone giants, and Cait has tales of angry helldogs that protect ancient miners’ claims. Then Cait introduces a dry stone-fruit cocktail to relax with after a long day in the holes.
