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.

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!

Shake all ingredients, except dark spiced rum, with ice until combined and frothy. Strain into a tiki mug with fresh ice. Top with dark spiced rum float (gentle pour to try to keep the rum together on top). Garnish with all the fruit you can find!
Chai-Infused Whiskey
Combine 8 oz. Pendleton Whisky with 4 scoops of Blue Lotus Traditional Masala Chai in a mason jar or other air tight container. Let set for at least a week.
You can also use 3-4 chai tea bags of your choice. Dip them briefly in hot water before adding to the whisky to get a more potent spice flavor.
Drizzle honey in rocks glass. Combine all other ingredients in a shaker with ice and muddle until peppers are partially crushed. Transfer shaker contents to honey drizzled glass and enjoy.
It’s April Fool’s Day, and the gloves are off! Nick is coming in hot with a celebrated trickster spirit from Wisconsin, Cait preys on Nick’s fears of duende with tales of the Saci, and they both work to screw with each other where they can, as is the custom of the holiday. Cait brings in a traditional Brazilian drink fit for an evil dwarf (eventually), and we take a swing at fictional horror story podcasts (YOU know we love you!).

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled and strain into a chilled martini glass. Don’t be afraid to add a little simple syrup if you like a sweeter drink.
