Show Notes for Episode 28 - Norse Folk Tales Apr 28, 2019

Here's where we tell you how to find the recipe for Fjellbekk, the tales we told, and the podcast we mentioned!

The Booze:

Fjellbekk (Mountain Stream in Norwegian) -3/4 oz vodka -3/4 oz aquavit -3/4 oz lime juice -lemon lime soda to taste

Mix vodka, aquavit, and lime juice in glass with ice, add lemon lime soda to taste. Very refreshing, citrus-y with interesting flavors, doesn't taste super alcoholic even though it's pretty potent!

Episode 27 - East of the Sun and West of the Moon Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

This week we're doing a special feature of a classic Scandinavian Tale. We're mainly doing this solo because it's a pretty long story, but very good. Come listen to us discuss fairy tale tropes, our childhoods, and Don Bluth movies (at which we utterly fail and miss mentioning some of his best...I'm looking at you, Anastasia, The Secret of NIMH, and The Land Before Time).

Show Notes for Episode 26 - Spring Folk Tales Pt. 2 Apr 07, 2019

Show notes

Here's where we tell you how to find the recipe for the Mint Julep, the tales we told, and the podcast we mentioned!

The Booze:

Mint Julep - 2 1/2 oz bourbon - 2 sugar cubes or 1/2 oz simple syrup (or mint simple syrup if you're feeling fancy). Recipe link in show notes - 4-5 mint sprigs (more or less is fine - up to you)

Place mint and sugar or simple syrup into a glass (classically served in a frosted silver julep cup, but whatever you have is fine). Muddle well (but gently so the leaves don't break up too much) to dissolve the sugar and release the oil in the mint. You may need to add a tiny bit of water to dissolve the sugar if you're not using simple syrup. Add the bourbon (one you love the flavor of, as it's mainly what you'll taste), and fill the glass with crushed ice. Stir until the glass becomes frosty, and then garnish with a mint sprig. Some people also add 2-3 dashes of bitters, but that's optional.
