Combine all ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake until cold and combined (and a wee bit frothy) and strain into a martini glass or milk bottle.
For Mexican chocolate syrup, we used The Spruce Eats recipe.
We’re back with a full episode! The topic is ‘haunted schools’, and we ruffled something’s feathers with this one. Nick tells of the many hauntings of Alabama’s University of Montevallo, and Cait breaks down one of El Paso’s many haunted public schools. As if that wasn’t enough haunted happenings, Nick and Cait experienced a handful of ghostly activities while recording the episode itself! Take a break from all this mayhem with a cocktail suitable for any school cold lunch!

Sazerac is a classic cocktail that’s been around for a very long time – we did our best to interpret the drink with authenticity.
Rinse a chilled rocks glass with absinthe and discard extra.
In a mixing glass, combine rye, cognac, simple syrup & bitters with ice. Stir (don’t shake!) until ingredients are combined and chilled.
Strain into absinthe rinsed glass. Garnish with a lemon peel twist (always twist the peel over the drink).
(Yes, we used ice in the picture but we still don’t want you to have ice melting in your delicious cocktail)
Combine sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add both types of pepper (grind or crack the corns before adding to the syrup). Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Let cool, strain, and enjoy. Simple syrup can safely be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
It’s almost Mother’s Day, so we decided to bring in the woman who made it all happen, our own mother Shanna McDonald! She helps us explore the secret origins of the McDonalds’ obsession with the paranormal and help clarify some of the sketchier details. We share family paranormal encounters from three generations, including the haunted house in which Nick and Cait grew up, strange alien-like encounters in the Applegate region, and all manner of Southern Oregon weirdness! Top it off with a spicy sazerac straight from Momma’s heart, and you’ve got an episode you won’t find anywhere else!

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!).
