Show Notes for Episode 25 - Spring Folk Tales Pt. 1 Mar 31, 2019

Show notes

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

The Booze:

- 1 oz of orange liqueur - 2 tsp of raspberry juice (squish raspberries and use liquid) - lime juice to taste - soda water to taste - tsp of rose water (optional)

Fill glass with ice, add orange liqueur, raspberry juice, lime juice, and rose water if you are opting for that. Stir, then top with soda water. Should be pastel pink, very delicate, refreshing, not overly sweet.

We're both under the weather this week, so we are releasing the segment we did as part of Blood on the Rocks' WWI Armistice Day Megasode (which was really great and you can listen to it here: https://murder.ly/blood-on-the-rocks/specialfirst-world-war-centenary-megasode/). You may have already listened to it, but it has never been released on this feed and it's pretty interesting! We'll be back next week with something awesome! We love you!
