Had It All

Were still scratching out heads about this one.  It all started with our confusion about the title, and got worse from there.  This week were reading the surreal Manga parody, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.  Try getting your spell check not to freak out over that combination of letters.



This week our guest bartender is Jordan from Casa, in Costa Messa, California.

A picture from Jordan's notebook.

  • 2 oz Ilegal Reposado Mezcal
  • 3/4 oz Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz All Spice
  • 1/2 oz Orgeat
  • 1/4 oz Carpano dry Vermouth
  • 1/4 oz Apricot Juice
  • 2 dashes tea pot bitters

Shake all the ingredients together and strain into a coup glass.  For the drink shown, he garnished with corn silk, and sprayed some absinte on the ends to get the fire going.  

Wicked and the Divine

Every 90 years the gods are reincarnated, and this time they are pop stars in England.  This wee we are discussing Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s The Wicked + The Divine.



This weeks guest bartender created two shots that beautifully pair together.

The Elixir

With the Doctor Strange movie coming up, we dove into a Doctor Strange comic.  Doctor Strange: The Oath, a self contained story, with a good dose of back-story. 



This week we are joined by our first guest bartender.  Rich from The Cellar Spirit Room in Fullerton created “The Elixir” a craft cocktail that ties in perfectly for this book.

  • 1 oz Orgeat (Small Hand Food Recomended)
  • 0.5 oz Kübler Absinthe (has to be this Absinthe for the drink to taste right)
  • 0.5 oz Fords Gin (or any standard gin)
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice 

Shake the shit out of it, and strain into a glass.

Listen to Episode 28 - Doctor Strange: The Oath for an interview with Rich about his career, and his process.
