RECIPE: Shiksa Swill

Combine gin, nectar, lemon juice & simple syrup in a shaker with ice.  After a good shake, strain into a coupe and top with a few dashes of bitters

Honey Simple Syrup

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.

Ep. 29 – Six Gentiles Walk Into a Whale

Show Notes

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.

RECIPE: Col. Taylor’s Medicinal Sweet Tea

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.

Ep. 24 – The Spirits and Booze Podcast

Show Notes

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.

RECIPE: They Might Be Stone Giants

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 plums 
  • .5 oz St. Germain 
  • 2 bar spoons of thyme simple syrup (below)
  • Bubbles (we used rosé sparkling wine)

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.

For Thyme Simple Syrup

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.

Ep. 22 – Miners Prohibited

Show Notes

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.

Ep. 21 – [title not found]

Show Notes

It’s the last gasp before Nick and Cait head out into the wilderness for vacation, so what better way to make themselves paranoid than with a collection of stories about people who mysteriously vanished in the woods? Nick and Cait give a surface look at the very deep Missing 411 phenomenon, as Cait shares the weirdest stories of missing people she can find. Then Nick applies the Missing 411 philosophy to some more recent missing cases and gives us an account of getting lost in the forest under completely non-mysterious circumstances for context. Cait finishes things off with a drink that will put the trees themselves in your mouth and in your blood.

Episode 20 – Candle in the End

Show Notes

The world’s worst word-association podcast is back! The theme is “pirates”, so of course Nick brings in a story about a mentally ill woman and Cait shows up with a story of a bogus Turkish sultan. Vague hand-waving connections are only one of our specialties, though, so Cait creates a fig liqueur based cocktail with a Mediterranean flair!
