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: Bloody Orangey Margey

  • 2 oz Silver Tequila
  • 2 oz Blood Orange Juice
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  • 1 oz charcoal agave syrup
  • Juice of 1 lime

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.

Ep. 25 – Sphincter Obsession

Show Notes

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!

RECIPE: Wyoming Death Ship

Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Dry shake (no ice) for about 30-45 seconds, add ice, shake  again until chilled.  Strain into something pretty.

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!

RECIPE: Reduced Lunch

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.

Episode 19 – El Paso or Fail Class

Show Notes

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!

Don’t have access to ginger vodka? Sub in your favorite unflavored vodka and ginger simple syrup (you can use our simple syrup recipe, just simmer chunks of ginger in the water until it reaches the desired strength of taste, remove ginger chunks, then add sugar and complete recipe).
